MAINE -GROWN SEED POTATOES 



All of the Seed Potatoes we sell are grown in the State of Maine, where it is universally acknowl- 

 edged the best seed potatoes are raised, and thousands of carloads are shipped every year from the coun- 

 ties of Holton and Aroostook alone. Farmers and truckers in the Middle and Southern States should 

 renew their seed potatoes at least every two years, as by doing so they will realize the advantage of early 

 maturity and productiveness. 



Special prices will be given on application. 



SPAULDING ROSE.— Said to be the earliest 

 potato now grown, and especially recommended for 

 early market trade. Grown under favorable circum- 

 stances, they are ready for the table at 10 weeks 

 from date of planting, and fully matured at 12 

 weeks. Medium-sized, very smooth-skinned, shal- 

 low eyed, and of fine texture; in color light pink.

Maine Early Rose. 



OHIO, or XX EARLY.— This is one of the earli- 

 est potatoes grown; it will bear heavy manuring 

 with commercial fertilizer; yields well, is free from 

 blight; potatoes come to eatable size very early and 

 eat well. 



EARLY ROSE.— For a generation the standard 

 potato of the whole country for earliest yield, thrift, 

 beauty and table qualities, because it always suc- 

 ceeds well in any soil in any climate. 



EXTRA-EARLY BOVEE.— A most desirable new 

 potato, introduced several years ago; has become 

 very popular. Reported 12 days earlier than Early 

 Ohio, and is the earliest potato we know of. 



IRISH COBBLER.— One of the most reliable 

 first early potatoes ever sent out. It ripens almost 

 with the Early Ohio, and so uniform that every 

 hill seems to ripen all at one time. The value of 

 this feature will be at once apparent to the market 

 gardener who always likes to dig the entire crop 

 at one time and follow with a crop of something 

 else from the same ground. 



GREEN MOUNTAIN.— White skin, flat, oval 

 form, smooth, of good appearance ; fine for the table 

 when well grown ; ripens slowly and is a good 

 keeper ; valuable for late crops ; now taking the 

 lead in all markets. 



IMPROVED WHITE McCORMICK. — A very 

 popular late sort ; in fact, too well known for us to 

 describe. Plant along in June or July, and you will 

 receive a yield that will surprise you.
