POTATOES 



Can be grown in almost any kind of 

 soil having the necessary fertility. Light 

 soil, however, is best adapted to their 

 wants, and as a rule produces a dryer 

 cooking and better flavored potato. To 

 have any degree of success in potato 

 culture, it is essentially necessary that 

 your seed stock be renewed every two or 

 three years. Seed from a northern 

 section" especially if grown in soil of a 

 different nature from that in which they 

 are to be planted, almost invariably gives 

 satisfactory results. For early crop plant 

 as earlv in the spring as the ground is fit. 

 The price of all varieties, except where 

 marked, is 30 cents per pound, free by 

 mail. 



SS-Our potatoes are all choice northern 

 grown stock, grown speciallv for seed. 

 For large quantities write for special 

 prices. 



it>, We send out no potatoes m spring 

 before danger of frost is passed, unless at 

 bu'ver's risk.

Early Ohio A leading and 

 very early variety. Tubers rough 

 in the skin Nearly round and 

 very early. Cooks dry and mealy. 

 A decided favorite, and quite dis- 

 tinct in appearance. Pk., 50 cts. ; 

 bush., $1 90. 



Queen of the Roses. As its 

 name implies, this new potato is of 

 the Rose family In form it is 

 oval-oblong, somewhat flattened. 

 It has but few eyes, set almost even 

 with the surface, and a smooth, 

 fair skin, slightly netted It ripens 

 about the same time as Early Rose, 

 perhaps a trifle later. In quality 

 it is one of the very best, cooking 

 drv and mealy either baked or 

 Early oh, °- boiled, and not liable to be hollow 



or have a core. It is a vigorous grower, coming up soon after planting, and developing rapidly a strong healthy vine, 

 well stocked with large, bright green leaves. This is a heavv cropper Tubers are large and nuniercus, growing closely
