THE CONCAVE AND CURVED SEED POTATO KNIFE 



Cut with a thin, straight knife a slice length- 

 ways about l /% inch thick from the center of a 

 potato and hold it between you and the light. 

 Feeders from the eyes will be shown as in Fig. 1. 



If these feeders are interfered with, either by 

 cutting them off or shaving too close io them, the 

 vitality will be greatly reduced. 



It is evidently desirable, then, in cutting potatoes 

 for seed, to conform to the structure of the tuber. 

 With the common straight knife this is impossible. 



The Concave and Curved Seed Potato Knife 

 meets these requirements fully. It will cut two 

 or three eyes in a piece better than any other 

 knife, and will cut two single eyes without 

 coming in contact with feeders, leaving the 

 pieces in good shape to handle either by hand or 

 with machine. 



The great superiority of this knife lies, not so 

 much in the saving of seed as in the increase in 

 yield, for it is a recognized fact that potatoes cut 

 to single eyes and planted in drills will produce 

 the largest crop, and this is the only knife that 

 will cut them to single eyes without injuring the 

 vitality. Full directions for using accompany 

 each knife. 



Frice, postpaid, 35 cents.
