SECOND CROP SOUTHERN 

 GROWN SEED POTATOES 



SINCE we have been advertising the 

 Second Crop Seed w^e often have 

 been asked what it signified, and 

 for the benefit of those who do not 

 know we will state that they are prod- 

 uct of the first planting in tlie spring, 

 planted again as soon as dug, and tlie 

 result from that planting stored away 

 in the fall for next season's use. 



The advantage derived from second 

 seed over first crop is that they do not 

 sprout or shrivel or lose any of their 

 vigor througli the winter, having been 

 checked by frost before maturity; they 

 lie dormant, ready to grow vigorously 

 wlien planted. They rarely send up 

 more than one sprout; this may divide 

 into several branches. The consequence 

 is that all the growth goes into the 

 tubers, whicli grow to full marketable 

 size 12 to 15 days earlier than ordinary 

 seed. 



The results from the planting of this 

 seed have been so remarkable tjiat our 

 sales in consequence have grown much 

 beyond our expectations. 



The following varieties are grown 

 from first crop Northern stock: 



CROWN JEWEL. — Tliis is a seedling 

 of the Early Ohio. Skin white, with a 

 flesh tint; meat white and floury, cook- 

 ing evenly througli. A very early bear- 

 er, and its keeping qualities are equal 

 to the best. Crop failed. 



EARLY ROSE. — Crop failed. 



EARLY PURITAN. — A splendid early 

 sort; fine, white and prolific, producing 

 large crops of handsome, smooth tubers. 

 Crop failed. 



Potato prices are subject to change 

 without notice. Special prices quoted 

 on application. Owing to the high price 

 of barrels we are shipping potatoes in 

 barrel sacks.

We can offer choice stocks of Seed 

 "Wheat and Rye, re-cleaned, and at rea- 

 sonable prices. Write us August 1 for 

 special prices for fall sowing. 



SEED OATS 



YELLOW CORN 



For spring sowing. 32 pounds to the 

 bushel. Extra heavy fancy White Oats. 

 Ask for prices. 



WINTER imf OATS 



Perfectly liardy in tlie Southern and 

 Middle States, standing the winter near- 

 ly as well as wheat. Yields, on good 

 land, from 50 to 70 bushels to the acre, 

 of fine, heavy grain, weighing from 30 

 to 40 pounds to the measured bushel. 

 Furnishes excellent fall, winter and 

 early spring grazing, witliout injury to 

 the grain crop. Write for prices 1st of 

 August. 



JAPANESE. — The best sort. The 

 plants are large and vigorous, maturing 

 their seed early and resisting drought 

 and blight remarkably well, while the 

 grain is mucli larger and at the same 

 time has a thinner hull than the com- 

 mon or the Silver Hull. Owing to its 

 branching character, only one-half the 

 seed is required per acre, while the 

 straw is much stiffer and stands up bet- 

 ter. We recommend this especially for 

 well-drained or sandy land and the dry 

 climate of the Western plains. Peek, 

 50c. Bnshel, .$1.50. 



SILVER HULL.— Same price as above. 



BARLEY 



BEARDLESS SPRING B A R I, E Y. —

 der to get hest results. Write for prices.
