IRISH COBBLER, Extra Early Heavy Yielder. Is 



a grand early potato of medium large size, 

 and in light soil, does its best for earliness. 

 Irish Cobbler, although not so fine grained in 

 flesh as some other sorts described here, yet 

 it is always a very popular seller. Its size, 

 shape, good quality and elegant appearance 

 have given it a very wide popularity and it 

 usually secures a better price, side by side 

 with standard Earlies. To our customers who 

 find it necessary to cater to a growing demand 

 for more Early potatoes we commend this 

 sort as a money-maker and trade-winner.

 ity and extra early.

 noted for earliness, productiveness and fine 

 quality. Shape long, good size, cooks pure

 a roughened russet appearance.

GARDEN HERBS 



FRAGRANCE 



MEDICINAL 



The growing of herbs is not difficult as most of them thrive in ordi- 

 nary well drained loamy garden soil with a sunny exposure, requiring 

 only good garden culture. "Varieties grown for their herbage should be 

 cut when the plant is in full growth and before it has become woody, 

 then hung in a cool dry place for curing. The seed bearing plants should 

 be left until the seed matures, but cut before the seeds begin to shatter.

 their early stage.
