SPAULDING ROSE.— The Early Rose led the list for 

 over 30 years ,and is today one of the best early market 

 Potatoes. Our stock of this is grown on new land 

 near Houlton, Maine; is rugged and pure, and pro-

 Rose famous in its early years. Remember that this 

 stock is not to be confounded with the old run-out 

 Rose grown in other sections.
