THE CONCAVE AND CURVED SEED POTATO KNIFE. 



Cut with a thin, straight knife a 

 slice lengthways about y% inch thick 

 from the center of a pdtato and 

 hold it between you and the light. 

 Feeders from the eyes will tje shown 

 as in Fig.. i." 



If these feeders are interfered 

 with, either by cutting them off or 

 shaving too close to them, the 

 vitality will be greatly reduced. 



It is evidently desirable then, in 

 cutting potatoes for seed, to con- 

 form to the structure of the tuber. 

 With the common straight knife 

 this is impossible. 



The Concave and Curved Seed 

 Potato Knife meets these require- 

 ments fully. It will cut two or 

 three eyes in a piece better than any 

 other knife, and will cut to single 

 eyes without coming in contact 

 with feeders, leaving the pieces in 

 good shape to handle either by 

 hand or with machine. 



The great superiority of this 

 knife lies, not so much in the saving 

 of seed as in the increase in yield, for it is a recognized fact that potatoes cut to single eyes and planted in drills will 

 produce the largest crop, and this is the only knife that will cut them to single eyes without injuring the vitality. 

 Full directions for using accompany each knife. Price, postpaid, 35 cents.
