Seed Potatoes. 



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 pro- 

 ductiveness we are convinced 

 that Maine grown seed are the 

 best, and, in the long run, 

 cheapest. 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 selected for yield 

 and purity. Get our prices be- 

 fore you buy. We advise our 

 trade to place their orders early 

 this season, as we feel confident 

 that the prices will advance 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 our- 

 selves on our potato business, and want your trade.
