SEED POTATOES. 



EARLY ROSE. 



Houlton Early Rose.— This is our most popular 

 potato ; very early ; fiue quality and very productive ; 

 known by all. 



JBovee.— 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 recommended— one of the finest ; free from 

 blight, rose color, productive. 



Early Northers.— Extra early; very prolific; 

 shape and color of Early Rose. We recommend this 

 potato. 



New Queen.— Extra early white potato ; fine crop- 

 per, and makes very few small potatoes. 



Green Mountain. — The best second early potato 

 now on the market ; fine yielder ; fine flavor, fine ap- 

 pearance ; free from blight and rot ; keeps well and is 

 always ready for the table. 



The Houlton, Maine, 

 Seed Potatoes 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 earliness and 

 productiveness we are convinced 

 that Maine grown seed are the 

 best,*and, in the long run, cheap- 

 est. Why not take the same care 

 in selecting your seed potatoes as 

 you would your cabbage ? 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 ad- 

 vance 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 were bought elsewhere. We pride ourselves on 

 our potato business, and want your trade. 



Honeoye Rose.— Fine large tubers ; handsome 

 color ; good table variety ; suits poor soil. 



Carman No. 3.— The most productive late pota- 

 toes ; very large tubers ; handsome form and few and 

 shallow eyes. 



Sir Walter Raleigh.— New variety, producing 

 fine, large potatoes, in fact, all of a market 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 crop- 

 per ; 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. 



Extra Early Bol- 



go. — This Potato was 

 sent out by us last season 

 for the first time. It is 

 the production from seed 

 by a Maine grower. It is 

 fine shape, very early and 

 enormously productive. 

 Reports from the trials 

 of prominent markets are 

 loud in its praise. Cooks 

 mealy and pure white. 

 All the good qualities of 

 any potato are contained 

 in this one. So far it has 

 been free from blight. 



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