Cole's Seed Store, Pella, Iowa 



CHOICE SEED POTATOES 



With no other seed is the importance of a change more essential than with the Potato. 

 We offer Fancy Grown Stock, well selected, hand picked. No potatoes grown can compare 

 with Northern grown seed either for vigor, early maturity, increased yield, freedom from 

 disease and long- keeping- qualities. 



We offer only a few varieties which have become standard sorts and have proven to be the 

 best varieties grown. 



We book orders at any time, and All in rotation just as soon as the weather will permit, 

 except at the risk of purchaser. At prices named we make no charge for bags, boxes, barrels 

 or drayage. 



TO AVOID DELAY, when ordering late in the season, it would be well to mention your 

 second choice provided we should be sold out of variety ordered. 



At the pound price we send by mail prepaid; at peck and bushel rate, they are sent by 

 freight or express at expense of purchaser. 



POUND PRICES: All varieties at 25 cts. pe" lb., 3 lbs. for 65 cts., postpaid. 



EARLY WHITE OHIO 



It has become the standard early white 

 potato. There has been nothing to equal it 

 yet for an early white potato. It has given 

 the best of satisfaction the past few seasons 

 in every locality where a white potato is in 

 demand. It is a heavier yielder than the 

 Red Ohio. Its quality and fine texture are 

 superior to many varieties. It is bound to 

 become a popular variety and be the money 

 maker in many localities. Price per pk. 50 

 cts., bu. $1.75. 



EXTRA EARLY OHIO 



This standard extra earl}- sort matures 

 about two weeks before the Early Rose. It 

 is widely known and deservedly popular in 

 all parts of the country. It has given better 

 satisfaction over a wider range of country 

 than any other variety. The tubers grow 

 compact in the hill, are easily dug, very few 

 small ones, nearly all being of marketable 

 size. They keep firm till late in soring and 

 by many preferred for eating in winter. This 

 variety is sold by many as Extra Early Six 

 Weeks. Our choice Northern Grown seed is 

 at least ten days earlier than Southern grown 

 stock and will outyield them by far. Ex- 

 perienced gardeners will have no other seed 

 at any price. Per pk. 50 cts., bu. $1.50, 3 

 bu. $4.25. 



SNOWFLAKE JUNIOR 



Here is a great potato. It grows and 

 yields like Rural and at the same time has 

 something of the flaky whiteness and superb 

 quality of the old Snowflake. Vines rather 

 more leafy than vines of the Rural but with 

 the same thick, strong dark colored stalks. 

 The introducer says, that if you want some- 

 thing to take the place of the Rural plant 

 the Snowflake Jr. You can just as well have 

 250 bushels per acre instead of 150. Snow- 

 flake Jr. looks much like the Rurals and all 

 the potato buyers would call them Rurals, 

 but they are away ahead of Rurals. They 

 are ahead in quality as they cook more like 

 Snowflakes, they are smoother and nicer look- 

 ing and they will yield better as a new va- 

 riety always does. In fact they are better 

 in every way. Price per pk. 50 cts., bu. $1.50, 

 3 bu. $4.25. 



IRISH COBBLER 



A chunky white netted early potato of 

 splendid quality. Ripens one week later than 

 the Early Onio, but has better quality. Form 

 oval, and round, creamy-white and having 

 few eyes, which are quite shallow. Flesh 

 pure white and of the finest quality, not 

 exceeded by any early variety. Keeps per- 

 fect until spring. Especially suited to dry 

 climates on account of its deep roots. Its 

 strong growth, earliness, large yield, fine 

 quality, and very handsome appearance, is 

 making it one of the most popular and prof- 

 itable of the early varieties, for either mar- 

 ket or home use. Price, pk. 50 cts., bu. $1.50, 

 3 bu. $4.25. 



MINNESOTA EARLY ROSE 



This appears to be an improvement on the 

 old Early Rose, which has been selected and 

 grown on the virgin soil of the far nort.i. 

 It is early, being about two weeks later than 

 the Earls'- Ohio, and much larger. It is ob- 

 long in shape, smooth and of a handsome 

 rose color. Quality superb, either baked or 

 boiled, and yields large crops. Keeps sound 

 and fresh till late spring. Price, pk. 50 cts., 

 bu. $1.50, 3 bu. $4.25.
