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 thou- 

 sands of carloads are shipped every year from the 

 counties 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. 



Ohio, or XX Early — This is one of the earliest 

 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 succeeds well 

 in any soil in any climate. 



Spaulding Rose — Said to be the earliest potato 

 now grown, and especially recommended for early 

 market trade. Grown under favorable circumstances, 

 they are ready for the table at 10 weeks from date 



of planting, and fully matured at 12 weeks. Medium 

 sized, very smooth-skinned, shallow-eyed, and of 

 fine texture ; in color light pink. 



Gold Coin — A splendid Maine-crop variety of re- 

 markable productiveness and finest table quality ; 

 slightly oblong form; light golden skin; flesh pure 

 white ; fine grained ; cooks very dry. 



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. 



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. 



Bliss Red Triumph — This beautiful 



variety combines the productiveness of 

 the Carman with the good qualities of 

 the Early Rose. It is an extra-early 

 variety. The tubers are of medium size, 

 round and uniform in shape, eyes slight- 

 ly depressed ; color a beautiful red. Its 

 great beauty, productiveness, and fine 

 quality make it one of the best extra- 

 early market varieties.
