Maine-Grown Seed 



Potatoes 



All of the Seed Potatoes we sell are grown in the State of 

 Maine, where it is universally acknowledged the best seed 

 potatoes are raised, and thousands of carloads are shipped 

 every year from the counties of Holton and Aroostook alone. 

 Farmers and truckers in the Middle and Southern States should 

 renev/ their seed potatoes at least every two years, as by doing 

 so they will realize the advantage of early maturity and pro- 

 ductiveness. 



Special prices will be given on application. 



OHIO, or XX EARLY— This is one of the earliest potatoes 

 grown; i^ will bear heavy manuring with commercial fertilizer; 

 yields well, is free from blight; potatoes come to eatable size 

 very early and eat well. 



EARLY ROSE— For a generation the standard potato of the 

 whole country for earliest yield, thrift, beauty and table quali- 

 ties, because it always succeeds well in any soil in any climate. 



SPAULDING ROSE— Said to be the earliest potato now 

 grown, and especially recommended for early market trade. 

 Grown under favorable circumstances, they are ready for the 

 table at 10 weeks from date of planting, and fully matured at 

 12 weeks. Medium sized, very smooth-skinned, shallow-eyed, 

 and of fine texture; in color light pink. 



Ruby King Peppers. 



IRISH COBBLER— One of the most reliable first early 

 potatoes ever sent out. It ripens almost with the Early Ohio, 

 and so uniform that every hill seems to ripen all at one time. 

 The value of this feature will be at once apparent to the market 

 gardener who always likes to dig the entire crop at one time and 

 follow with a crop of something else from the same ground. 



BLISS RED TRIUMPH— This beautiful variety combines the 

 productiveness of the Carman with the good, qualities of the 

 Early Rose. It is an extra-early variety. The tubers are of 

 medium size, round and uniform in shape, eyes slightly de- 

 pressed ; color a beautiful red. Its great beauty, productive- 

 ness, and fine quality make it one of the best extra-early market 

 varieties. 



GREEN MOUNTAIN— White skin, flat, oval form, smooth, 

 of good appearance ; fine for the table when well grown ; ripens 

 slowly and is a good keeper; valuable for late crops; now taking 

 the lead in all markets. 



GOLD COIN — A splendid Maine-crop variety of remarkable 

 productiveness and finest table quality; slightly oblong form, 

 light golden skin, flesh pure white, fine grained, cooks very dry.
