Cole's Seed Store, Pella, Iowa 



CHOICE SEED POTATOES 



With no other seed is the importance of a change more essential than with the Potato. 

 We offer Fancy Grown Stock, well selected, hand picked. No potatoes grown can compare 

 with Northern grown seed either for vigor, early maturity, increased yield, freedom from 

 disease and long- keeping- qualities. 



We offer only a few varieties which have become standard sorts and have proven to be the 

 best varieties grown. 



We book orders at any time, and fill in rotation just as soon as the weather will permit, 

 except at the risk of purchaser. At prices named we make no charge for bags, boxes, barrels 

 or drayage. 



TO AVOID DELAY, when ordering late in the season, it would be well to mention your 

 second choice provided we should be sold out of variety ordered. 



At the pound price we send by mail prepaid; at peck and bushel rate, they are sent by 

 freight or express at expense of purchaser. 



SHORT CROP. The potato crop is very short and some sorts are a total failure; that is 

 why we are only able to list a few varieties this season. We may be able to secure some 

 varieties in the spring for our customers that we do not list. 



Prices given are nominal and are subject to market changes. Will be glad to quote firm 

 prices on application. 



FOUND PRICES: All varieties at 25 cts. pe"- lb., 3 lbs. for 65 cts., postpaid. 



EXTRA EARLY OHIO 



This standard extra early sort matures 

 about two weeks before the Early Rose. It 

 is widely known and deservedly popular in 

 all parts of the country. It has given better 

 satisfaction over a wider range of country 

 than any other variety. The tubers grow 

 compact in the hill, are easily dug, very few 

 small ones, nearly all being of marketable 

 size. They keep firm till late in, snring and 

 by many preferred for eating in winter. This 

 variety is sold by many as Extra Early Six 

 Weeks. Our choice Northern Grown seed is 

 at least ten days earlier than Southern grown 

 stock and will outyield them by far. Ex- 

 perienced gardeners will have no other seed 

 at any price. Per pk. 75 cts., bu. $2.50, 3 

 bu. $7.00. 



RURAL NEW YORKER 



The standard white market potato. One 

 of the largest yielding varieties now grown 

 of the old standard sorts. 



It is very large, unusually smooth, with 

 few and shallow eyes, skin white, also flesh, 

 and of good quality. Medium late and a 

 good drouth resister. It is very hardy and 

 can be grown on rich land without becoming 

 scabby. Largely grown by farmers and 

 trucksters for a main crop market potato. 

 Known by many as "Dustv Rural." 



Price, pk. 75 cts., bu. $2.50, 3 bu. $7.00. 



CONFIDENCE. Seeds have to be bought 

 on confidence. You are not buying a finished 

 product that you can examine, but only the 

 means by which your garden may be a com- 

 plete success or a total failure. 



Seeds, good or bad, look the same, but 

 what a difference when the crops are ma- 

 tured. It is the greatest factor that enters 

 into a purchase of seeds; you cannot afford 

 to risk a season's work with poor, cheap seed 

 of unknown quality. When you -buy Cole's 

 Seeds the element of doubt is removed so far 

 as human care can make it possible. 



IRISH COBBLER 



A chunky white netted early potato of 

 splendid quality. Ripens one week 'later than 

 the Early Onio, but has better quality. Form 

 oval, and round, creamy-white and having 

 few eyes, which are quite shallow. Flesh 

 pure white and of the finest quality, not 

 exceeded by any early variety. Keeps per- 

 fect until spring. Especially suited to dry 

 climates on account of its deep roots. Its 

 strong growth, earliness, large yield, fine 

 quality, and very handsome appearance, is 

 making it one of the most popular and prof- 

 itable of the early varieties, for either mar- 

 ket or home use. Price, pk. 75 cts., bu. $2.50, 

 3 bu. $7.00.
