early seed potato). It is 
not only early, but it is a 
heavy producer of potatoes 
of the very finest texture 
and quality. These pota- 
toes are uniform in size, 
color, and fine flavor. They __ 
are quickly prepared for cooking, 
as the skin peels readily and they 
cook dry and mealy.

popular of the early varieties. Of 
handsome cream white color and 
of excellent quality, making it most desirable for the best 
trade. It is a vigorous grower, ripens uniformly, and is a 
good keeper. 
“Prosperity” (the best second early and main crop 
potato). Yields great crops of even, fine, smooth, large pota- 
toes, even under the most unfavorable circumstances, and 
can be relied upon to bring in good money. The flesh is as 
white as snow, and cooks dry and mealy. The eyes are 
even with the surface, the skin white, with rich, yellowish- 
creamy cast, and considerably ruffled or netted.

SWEET 
POTATO 
ROOTS 
CULTURE. Don’t wait for a rain or 
a ‘season’ to set out sweet potato plants. 
Harrow your ground well before laying 
it off, then throw up the ridges higher 
than you want them, and if the soil is 
very dry allow 2 or 8 days for the mois— 
ture to rise; then knock off the top of 
the ridge just ahead of planting; make a 
mud batter with water and clay loam, or, 
better, with the addition of fresh cow dung, about as thick as cream; dip 
the plants, in hands of about 20, into this, so that a large quantity of the 
mud clings to them. 
Big Stem Jersey Sweet Potatoes. They are of fine 
size, and the yield has astonished our most critical trade. 
They make only a very few, and in some cases no small roots. 
The quality is first class.

Treat Seed Potatoes With Semesan Bel 
Semesan Bel is the new instantaneous disinfectant 
for treating both white and sweet potatoes. In addi- 
tion to controlling the common potato diseases, such 
as scab, rhizoctonia, black rot, scurf, black leg, etc., 
Semesan Bel is harmless to cut, whole or sprouted seed 
pieces; actually preserves the seed piece against soil- 
borne organism; promotes earlier and more profuse 
sprouting; improves the quality of the produce and in- 
creases the yield by much larger percentages as to 
make the cost of treatment a very profitable invest- 
ment. Price, 4 ozs. 45 cts.; 1 Ib. $1.50; 5 Ibs. $6.75. Full 
directions for using Semesan Bel, as well as a summary 
of the results obtained by prominent potato growers and 
Agricultural Experiment Stations will be found in the 
Semesan Bel Potato Booklet which we will mail free 
to your address on request.
