Second Crop Southern 

 Grown Seed Potatoes. 



SINCE we have been advertising the Second 

 Crop Seed we often have been asked what 

 it signified, and for the benefit of those 

 who do not seem to know we will state that they 

 are the product 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 shrivel or 

 lose any of their vigor through the winter, hav- 

 ing been checked by 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 all the growth goes into the 

 tubers, which grow to full marketable size 1 2 to 

 15 days earlier than ordinary seed. 



The results from the planting of this seed have 

 been so remarkable that our sales in conse- 

 quence have grown much beyond our expecta- 

 tions. 



The following varieties are grown from first 

 crop Northern stock : 



CROWN JEWEL.— This is a seedling of the 

 Early Ohio. Skin white, with a flesh tint; meat 

 white and floury, cooking evenly through. A 

 very early bearer, and its keeping qualities are 

 equal to the best. Peck, SOc. Bushel, $1.60.

 States, standing the winter nearly as well as 

 wheat. Yields, on good land, from 50 to 70 

 bushels to the acre, of fine, heavy grain, weigh- 

 ing from 30 to 4 pounds to the measured 

 bushel. Furnishes excellent fall, winter and 

 early spring grazing, without injury to the grain 

 crop. Write for prices 1st of August. 



SEED BUCKWHEAT. 



JAPANESE. — The best sort. The plants are 

 large and vigorous, maturing their set?d 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 common 

 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 better. We recommend this especially for 

 well-drained or sandy land, and the dry climate 

 of the Western plains. $1.50 per Bus. lO
