 keeping 1 qualities.

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 satis- 

 faction 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 early sort matures about 

 two weeks before the Early Rose. It is widely 

 known and deserv:dly 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 spring 

 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. Experienced gardeners will 

 have no other seed at any price. Per pk. 50 cts., 

 bu. $1.75, 3 bu. $4.75. 



GOLD COIN 



Introduced in the east several years ago at an 

 extremely high price. With repeated trails in 

 different states, it has proved one of the hardiest, 

 most vigorous in growth, most productive and 

 one of the best in table quality and to be abso- 

 lutely unequaled for main crop. The tubers are 



of good size, slightl - oblong and quite thick 

 through, and lie close together in the hill. The 

 skin is thin, smooth and glossy, of a light golden 

 tint. The flesh is fine grained, of a pure pearly 

 whiteness, and cooks dry and floury. Its vigorous 

 growth and great productiveness make it a most 

 profitable variety for the planter, combined with 

 its unequaled table quality will make it a most 

 popular and quick selling variety for market.
