VEGETABLE PLANTS 



For the last three or four years I have been doing a large business in vegetable plants, selling many 

 hundred thousand. My specialties in this line are 

 sweet potato plants, early cabbage plants, early 

 tomato plants, cauliflower, eggplants, peppers, etc. 

 I pack plants to ship almost any distance; you need 

 have no fear about ordering on that account. 



Sweet Potato Plants 



There is probably no section where better Sweet 

 Potatoes can be grown than here in the eastern 

 shore of Maryland. All customers are advised to 

 buy plants. We expect to have a very fine stock 

 at the proper season. 



All my Sweet Potato plants are grown from vine 

 slips in coldframes without artificial heat, thus 

 insuring my patrons the most vigorous and healthy 

 plants to be had. 



Big Stem Jersey. (See illustration.) This is a 

 very popular variety, especially with those who wish 

 to get their crop in market before others begin to 

 dig. It is a heavy yielder, good quality, either for 

 market or home use, and the most largely grown of 

 all varieties in this section. Plants 60 cts. per 100, 

 postpaid; $2 per 1,000, by express, receiver to pay 

 charges. 



Gold Skin. This is a beautiful yellow Potato, 

 usually growing very chunky. It has a peculiarity 

 of being almost a golden yellow inside, and is some- 

 times described as being all heart. The quality 

 is very fine, and this is in every way a very desirable 

 Potato, either for home use or market. Price of 

 plants same as Big Stem Jersey. 



Red Nansemond. This variety has a blood-red 

 skin, but inside is yellow and dry. It cooks very fine, 

 and many think it one of the best on the market. 

 Red Nansemond is especially popular where a dry 

 Potato is desired. This is also an excellent keeper, 

 Price of plants same as Big Stem Jersey. 



Big Stem Jersey. Of good quality for home use or market
