Second Crop Southern 

 Grown Seed Potatoes 



SINCE we liave been advertising the 

 Second Crop Seed we often have 

 been asked what it signified, and 

 for the benefit of those who do not 

 know we will state that they are prod- 

 ■ uct of the first planting in the spring, 

 planted again as soon as dug, and the 

 result from that planting stored away 

 In the fall for next season's use. 



The advantage derived from second 

 seed over first crop is that they do not 

 sprout or .<;hrivel or lose any of their 

 vigor through the winter, having been 

 checked bv frost before maturity; they 

 lie dormant, ready to grow vigorously 

 when planted. They rarely send up 

 more than one sprout; this may divide 

 into several branches. The consequence 

 is that all the growth goes into tlie 

 tubers, which grow to full marketable 

 size 12 to 15 days earlier than ordinary 

 seed. 



The results from the planting of this 

 seed have been so remarkable that our 

 sales in consequence have grown much 

 beyond our expectations. 



The following varieties are grown 

 from first crop Northern stock: 



GROWN JEW'EL. — This Is a seedling 

 of the Early Ohio. Skin white, with a

SEED BUCKWHEAT 



J A P A > E .S E. — Tlie best sort. The 

 plants are large and vigorous, maturing 

 their seed early and resisting drought 

 and blight remarkably well, while the 

 grain is much larger and at the same 

 time has a thinner hull than the com- 

 mon or the Silver Hull. Owing to its 

 branching character, only one-half the 

 seed is required per acre, while the 

 straw is much stiffer and stands up bet- 

 ter. We recommend this especially for 

 well-drained or sandy land and the dry 

 climate of the Western plains. Peck,
