BUCKBEE'S "Full of 



Life" POTATOES 



BLISS' TRIUMPH — This variety has Ijeeii known for a long lime and yet 

 "unknown." It was introduced many years ago by Mr. B. K. Bliss, 

 of New York, who disseminated the Early Rose. The Triumph at- 

 tained at the time no particular favor, but all of a sudden its virtues 

 became appreciated and the demand for it was so great that it sold 

 readily in car load lots for three times the price of ordinary seed Po- 

 tatoes, and one man who had several thousand bu.shels reaped a sub- 

 stantial fortune from their sale. There is good rea.son why the THI- 

 UMPH should be popular. It is from seven to ten days earlier than 

 the Ohio, and that oftentimes means a difference of many dollars in the 

 crop. We believe that Potato growers will do well to plant liberally 

 of them the coming Spring as there is sure to be an almost unlimited 

 demand for the seed from the Mississippi Valley, where thousands 

 upon thousands of acres of Potatoes are grown each year for the early 

 market. The Potato is of good size, squared at ends. Skin is red, 

 fiesh is very white and firm. It is productive, and for several years to 

 come will probably command a higher price among Potato buyers 

 than any other sort. Our stock is genuine. 



Prices postpaid, 1 lb. 25c.; 3 lbs. 60c. By express or freight at buyer's 

 expense, i.i bu. 65c.; j . bu. 85c.; 1 bu. $1.40; 2}i bu. $3.33. 



BLISS' TEIVilPH 



EARLY SIX WEEKS. Fine Potato for Southern Truckers. 



This is a fine new Potato of the Ohio Type and seems to 

 be in demand everywhere. It has been sold under the 

 Six Weeks, Early Market, Extra Early Six Weeks, etc. 

 Several seedsmen claim to have introduced it and more 

 than one has represented it as ready for market six 

 weeks after planting. We never had any such suc- 

 cess with it, however. It is Extra Early a'U right and 

 .Market Gardeners and all others who grow Potatoes 

 should give this variety a trial. As now improved, we 

 consider it one of the best extra early market varieties 

 grown. The Potatoes begin to form when the vines 

 are only 5 to 6 inches high. The top and tubers grow 

 rapidly, and in seven or eight w-eeks from planting are 

 a fine marketable size, and reach niatuiity in 65 days. 

 .\.s a table Potato they are not excelled; even for late 

 ■Spring they keep sound and solid. 

 Prices postpaid, 1 lb. 25c.; 3 lbs. 70c. By express or 

 Freight at buyer's expense, H bu. 50c.; Jo bu. 80c.; 

 1 bu. S1.35; 2 '2 bu. $3.18. 



CARMAN NUMBER THREE— One of the most popular of 

 1 lie Carman group of Potatoes. CARMAN NUMBER 

 THREE grows to the largest size of any of the main 

 crop .sorts. Choicest Pedigreed Stock Seed. 

 Prices postpaid, 1 lb. 25c.; 3 lbs. 60c. By express or 

 freight at buyer's expense, '4 bu. 50c.; ' ■> bu. 80c.; 1

IMPROVED EARLY OHIO 



EARLY SIX WEEKS 



IMPROVED EARLY OHIO— Our Specialty. 



A Grand Potato. Some early varieties 

 will yield edible Potatoes about as soon as 

 the Improved Early Ohio, but their tops 

 will lie green for days after the Improved 

 Early Ohio have fully ripened. The Im- 

 proved Early Ohio is fully two weeks 

 ahead of the Early Rose, and is a general 

 favorite with Potato growers and market 

 men alike, and the most profitable Pota- 

 to they can possibly grow. The sprouts 

 are very strong, the vines grow erect, and 

 are easy to cultivate; maturing early, it 

 brings the highest prices, and the land can 

 be used for another crop after it; does well 

 on any soil suitable for Potatoes. The 

 tubers grow compact in the hill, are easily 

 dug, with very few small one.s — nearl.y 

 every Potato is of marketable size; has 

 few eyes, which are even with the surface. 

 With heavy manuring, close planting, and 

 good culture, a very large and profitable 

 crop can be expected — .300 to ."jOO bushels 

 per acre is not an unusual yield. This is 

 our specialty in standard early varieties. 

 And we are confident that many growers 

 do not really know a true improved Early 

 Ohio, and have beeu growing some other 

 .sort for it, having been deceived in the pur- 

 chase of the .seed. We know ours is right, 

 because the stock is the product of the or- 

 iginal headquarters seed. 

 Prices postpaid, 1 lb. 26c.; 3 lbs. 70c. By 

 express or freight at buyer's expense, '4 bu. 

 60c.; !.'> bu. 80c.; 1 bu. $1.35; 2'. bu. 

 $3.18.
