GREEN MOUNTAIN, JR. New White 

 Seedling. I Originated by \V E. Johnson in 

 An inbred Green Mountain; seed boll 

 grown on Green Mountain and pollenized 

 with Green Mountain. It i- practically thor- 

 oughbred or pure-bred. It ha- all the par- 

 -'■od qualities and in general appear- 

 ance is the same, except it i- a trifle whiter in 

 color and the -kin i- more netted. It grows 

 round to oblong, somewhat flattened, eyes 

 shallow. The sprouts in spring are white and 

 stubby and do not grow very long. Soon after 

 the stalks appear above the surface they 

 branch very much, the broad, dark green 

 leaves lying clo-e to and completely covering 

 the ground, which will kill weed- and grass 

 and have a tendency to hold moisture. It will 

 make a vigorou-. rapid growth, sel 

 number in the hill and mature to the best 

 marketable size a few day- earlier than its 

 parent. Blossom is white, with yellow center 

 stalks. Cor, king qualities excellent. The past 

 n our trial grounds it gave a yield at 

 the rate of 640 bushels per acre.

SWEET POTATO ROOTS 



We handle these only on orders, and an order must be placed at lea-t four days before the seed are wanted. 



CULTURE. Don't wait for a rain or a "season" to set out sweet potato plants. Harrow your ground well before lay- 

 ing off. then throw up the ridges higher than you want them and if the soil is very dry allow two or three days for the 

 moisture to rise: then knock off the top of the ridge just ahead of planting: make a mud batter with water and clay loam, 

 or. better, with the addition of fresh cow dung, about as thick as cream; dip the plants, in hands of about twenty, into 

 that a large- quantity of the mud clings to them 



BIG STEM SWEET POTATOES. They are fine 'size, and the yield has astonished our most critical trade. They 

 make only a very few. and in some cases no small I he quality is first class. 



JERSEY SWEET POTATOES. Are too well known to require any description. We get these from reliable grow- 

 er- in Xew Jersey, and our trade has grown very large on them.
