Northern Grown Seed Potatoes. 



Successful potato growers know the value of good seed, and will use none but Northern grown seed of good 

 quality if it is possible to be had. To others I will state that success in potato growing depends more upon the 

 seed used than anything. I might almost say everything else. The seed potatoes here quoted, like everything 

 else 1 offer, are of the very finest Northern grown seed; smooth, bright, clean, solid and beautiful. They are in 

 perfect condition and entirely dormant, having been stored in cellars especially constructed for the purpose, and 

 are in new double-headed barrels (for which, by the way, I make no charge, nor for shipping or cartage). 



THE BOVEE. Ths Earliest and IMost Productive of all Early Potatoes. Earlier than Early Ohio Ly several 

 days, and not only a greater cropper than any of the other early sorts, but it exceeds even the late varieties in 

 yield. The tubers are white, exceedingly smooth and handsome, of good marketable size (running very even), 

 and are exceptionally uniform in size and appearance. In fine quality it has no superior; being white, floury 

 and fine-grained, always dry — whether boiled or baked — and rich in flavor. The viae is a dwarf grower, but 

 robust and stocky, with the tubers forming in a compact hill. I am convinced that the Bovee is the best early 

 potato yet introduced, for earliness, large yield and good quality; excelling in either or all of these important 

 properties. It is destined to become the leading early potato, and will be planted in immense quantity to the 

 exclusion of all other early sorts. The tubers I offer are headquarters' stock and strictly true to name. They 

 were grown by the same man who grows for the introducer of the variety and from the same seed. Peck, 60c; 

 bushel {60 lbs.), $1,75; barrel (165 lbs.), $4.50. 



EARLY THOROUGHBRED (M^awZe's). Oneof the most 

 productive early potatoes in cultivation. Matures 

 with the Early Rose, has the general appearance of the 

 latter and is much more productive. The tubers are 

 practically all of good marketable size, very few sec- 

 onds and no small ones. It is certainly one of the most 

 productive of the early maturing sorts. 



HOILTOIN ROSE {True Early Rose, Maine Rose). 

 The standard early potato. Unfortunately many spur- 

 ious varieties are sent out for it by careless dealers. 



SIR WALTER RALEIGH. Esteemed by miny ns the 

 best of Mr. Carman's productions. The introducers 

 say "it closely resembles Rural New Yorker No. 2, but 

 is more uniform and yields practically no small tubers, 

 every one being marketable. It is from four to six 

 daj^s later than the Rural New Yorker; the color of the 

 skin is the same, but the flesh is whiter and of better 

 quality; in fact, it is the whitest-fleshed and finest- 

 grained Potato, excelling even the Snowfiake." 



GREEN IMOLNTAIN. Possesses many good qualities, 

 among which may be specially noted power of resist- 

 ance to drought, great productiveness of tubers, of uni- 

 form size and appearance, thrift on poor soil without 

 much fertilizati(;n, freedom from disease before dig- 

 aring;, freedom from rot in the cellar and admirable 



keeping qualities. It is a white variety of fine appear- 

 ance and one of the best for winter crop. 



CAR1>1A1N'S NO. 3. Introduced in 1896 and said to be 

 the handsomest large potato, to out-yield every other, 

 all potatoes of marketable size and superior quality — 

 which claims have been sustained by trial to an excep- 

 tional degree. The tubers are white, without hollow or 

 black heart and are superior keepers. A very valuable 

 variety. 



IMAGGIE I»1LRPHY. The greatest yielder and the 

 most profitable late potato especially for a light soil. 

 The old original Maggie Murphy has been greatly im- 

 proved by careful selection and high culture. The seed 

 I offer is the new or improved type. In field trial, with 

 twenty other popular varieties, it was by far the most 

 productive of them all — producing more large, hand- 

 some potatoes than any other. Skin a deep pink with 

 russet markings. It is of excellent quality and a very 

 superior keeper; and owing to its fine appearance al- 

 ways commands a ready sale. 



RilRAL NEW YORKER NO. 2. A round, white pota- 

 to, very productive and free from blight. The tubers 

 are large, remarkably smooth with very few^ eyes: skin 

 and flesh both white and possessing excellent table 

 qualities. Noted for vigorous growth and disease-re- 

 sisting properties. 



Price, peck, 50c; bushel, $1,40; barrel, $3.25; except Early Bovee.
