MAINE SEED POTATOES 



The Houlton, 

 Maine, Seed Po- 

 tatoes are univer- 

 sally acknowledged to 

 be the best; grown in 

 the cold North, where 

 nature conspires 

 against all but the 

 strongest, we get our 

 best seed. For earli- 

 ness and productive- 

 ness we are convinced 



IRISH COBBLER POTATOES 



that Maine-grown seed are the best, 

 and, in the long run, cheapest. Why 

 not take the same care in selecting your 

 seed potatoes as you would your cab- 

 bage ? Our stocks have been grown 

 for seed purposes, and are carefully se- 

 lected for yield and purity. Get our 

 prices before you buy. We advise our 

 trade to place their orders early this 

 season, as we feel confident that the 

 prices will advance very much as the 

 planting season advances. Several have 

 told us that seed gotten from our house 

 have yielded from 

 20 to 25 per cent 

 more than seed 

 saved themselves 

 ' ;., and those which 



'Ilk were bought else- 



V «k where. We pride 

 ^Vi ■^ ourselves on our po- 

 V- • H ^ato business, and 

 .£,, want your trade. 



H IRISH COBBLER 

 POTATO. 



■£<>' It is one of the 



most reliable and is 

 fast becoming one 

 of the most popular 

 of the early varie- 

 ties. Of handsome 

 cream-white color 

 and of excellent 

 quality, making it 

 most desirable for 

 the best trade. It 

 is a vigorous 

 grower, ripens uniformly, and is a good keeper. In short, the best all around early potato on the market. 



Houlton Early Rose. — This is our most popular potato; very early, fine quality, and very productive; 

 known by all. 



Bovee. — Acknowledged to be extra early and of fine quality; pleased our trade very much the past season. 

 XX Early.— This 

 is a potato that comes 

 to us very highly rec- 

 ommended — one of the 

 finest; free from blight, 

 rose color, productive. 

 Early Northers. 

 Extra early; very pro- 

 lific; shape and color 

 of Early Rose. We 

 recommend thispotato. 

 New Queen.— 

 Extra early white po- 

 tato; fine cropper, and 

 makes very few small 

 potatoes. 



Honeoye Rose.— 

 Fine, large tubers; 

 handsome color; good 

 table variety; suits 

 poor soil. 



Green Mountain . 

 The best second early 



potato now on the market; fine yielder, fine flavor, fine appearance. Free from blight and rot. Keeps well, and 

 is alwas .ready for the table. 

 Carman No. 3. — The most productive late, potatoes; very large tubers; handsome form and few and shallow eyes. 

 Sir Walter Raleigh. — New variety, producing fine, large potatoes; in fact, all of marketable size; white and 

 mealy. 

 Crown Jewels are the second crop potatoes, and are recommended for their large yield. 

 Rural Blush. — A second crop potato; heavy cropper; does well where other sorts fail. 

 — McCormick, or German Peach Blow.— Should be planted in July and early August. It is one of the 

 heaviest yielders, and in good season makes a fine table sort. 



The Seed Potatoes I bought of you turned out at least forty per cent more than seed I saved myself.
