GREEN MOUNTAIN 1 



(Improved) 



The Most Popular Potato on Earth. 



Ideal for Main Crop. A Dependable 



Winter Keeper. An Excellent Baking 



Variety 



A reliable medium late potato that is so 

 popular in some sections it has superseded 

 all other main crop varieties. It seems to 

 thrive in all soils and in all localities, making 

 heavy, healthy vines, and yielding big crops 



of large, smooth, white skinned tubers of handsome flattish oval form. 

 It cooks white, dry and mealy, and has a desirable flavor exclusively 

 its own. It keeps well, and is not liable to scab or decay. (See 

 illustration.) 



Price, S1.00 per peck; $3.75 per bushel; $7.50 sack of 165 lbs. net 

 weight; purchaser pays transportation charges. 



BOVEE (Henderson's) 



IRISH COBBLER 



-Early. 



An Ideal Potato for the Home Garden — High Quality- 

 A Large Cropper 



A fine, early variety, producing large, handsome tubers, uniform 

 in shape and size. The demand for this variety is greatly increasing 

 as it does well under most soil conditions. It also keeps fairly well. 



The flesh is white, and of excellent quality; the skin very light 

 brown, with whitish netting. It is a heavy cropper. 



Price, $1.00 per peck; $3.75 per bushel; $7.50 sack of 165 lbs net 

 weight; purchaser pays transportation charges. 



It is not only early, but produces its crops in great abundance, and 

 yields a very large percentage of perfectly formed tubers. The 

 cultivator can be used to better advantage on a crop of Bovee than 

 any other sort, owing to the short and compact growth of the vines, 

 and its habit of setting the entire crop close in the hill. 



Bovee, perhaps more than any other sort, delights in a rich soil, 

 where it will yield an abundance of medium-sized potatoes of. perfect 

 shape and remarkably good quality. 



Price, $1.25 per peck; $4.25 per bushel; $8.50. sack of 165 lbs. net 

 weight; purchaser pays transportation charges. 



EARLY OHIO 



Extra-early, maturing about two weeks before the Early Rose 

 almost round; flesh solid, cooks drv and mealy. 



Price, $1.25 peck; $4.00 bushel;'$8.00 sack of 165 lbs. net weight; 

 purchaser pays transportation charges. 



EARLY ROSE 



The popular standard early; noted for earliness, produc- 

 tiveness and fine quality. 



Price, $1.00 peck; $3.50 bushel; $7.00 sack of 165 lbs. net 

 weight ; purchaser pays transportation charges. 



SIR WALTER RALEIGH 



This is one of the best varieties for a main crop, and is 

 admirably adapted to general cultivation. The vines are 

 of average size, but so vigorous that they stand erect long 

 enough to allow necessary cultivation. It produces ah 

 extremely large crop of round, slightly flattened tubers, 

 smooth, white skinned, and very attractive in appearance. 



Its good quality is greatly improved when stored in a cool, 

 dry cellar. When cooked it breaks up thoroughly, present- 

 ing a flaky, snowy appearance, at once appetizing and indica- 

 tive of its superior flavor. 



Price, $1.25 peck; $4.00 bushel; $8.00 sack of 165 lbs. net 

 weight; purchaser pays transportation charges. 



SPAULDING ROSE NO. 4 



Handsome red tuber, somewhat flat, a little later than the 

 regular Early Rose but usually a better yielder. Fit to 

 cook when large enough to dig. 



Price, $1.00 peck; $3.50 bushel; $7.00 sack of 165 lbs. net 

 weight; purchaser pays transportation charges. 



UNCLE SAM 



We believe Uncle Sam to be the heaviest yielding variety 

 grown. On a loam or sandy soil it is a wonder in yield and 

 quality. The crop averages remarkably regular in size and 

 shape. Its flaky, snow-white appearance gains instant, 

 favor. The tubers are oval shaped, with light russet skin, 

 very even in outline and with shallow eves. 



Price, $1.25 per peck; $4.00 per bushel; $8.00 sack of 165 

 lbs. net weight; purchaser pays transportation charges.
