POTATOES 



Our Seed Potatoes are grown in the cold 

 North in the famous Potato distrii t of Houl- 

 ton. Maine, and are the finest obtainable 

 today. Experience has shown that northern- 

 Potatoes taken a few hundred miles 

 south produce up to double the crops of 

 home-grown seed of the same varieties. 

 Bolzano's selected Maine Seed assures not 

 only a larger crop but an earlier one of 

 *es of the highest quality. 



We oiler only varieties which have : 

 most satisfactory in our customers' fields 

 and gardens after exhaustive trials. 



We are prepared to ship at any time but 

 must warn that shipments ordered made 

 during severe cold weather travel solely at 

 purchaser's risk.
