My stocks of seed potatoes are grown by experienced growers, and are of undoubted purity and 



reliability, far surpassing, as my customers well know, the general run of seed potatoes. Special 

 prices on ten barrel lots or over. All prices, however, are subject to market changes. By mall, 

 all potatoes are 50 cts. per lb. At prices given below, purchaser pays freight. 



EMPIRE STATE — Originated by that celebrated potato grower, Mr. E. L. Coy, of Washing- 

 ton Co., N. Y. Empire State has proved to fully warrant his statement that " My lifelong endeavors 

 to produce a perfect potato for general purposes have been fully realized. I have never seen any 

 variety that combines so many highly desirable qualities." The flesh is pure, snowy white, and 

 floury"; rich and delicate in flavor, and cooks evenly throughout without any coarseness. The 

 vinesare very rank and vigorous in growth ; the tubers lie very compactly in the hill, at the proper 

 depth, and are easily dug. Its healthiness is most remarkable. Its strong roots enable it to stand 

 severe drought exceedingly well. It is enormously productive, having yielded at the rate of nearly 

 600 bushels per acre, and tested alongside of all the most popular potatoes, it has in every case out- 

 yielded all others. Last year's trials in every section of the country proves everything ever claimed 

 for it. Lb., 50c; 3 lbs., 81.00, post-paid. By express or freight, p'k, $1.00; bus., 82.25; bbl., 84.50; 2 bbls., 88.00. 



MORNING STAR. 



MORNIJfG STAR. — This new and promising 



variety is the result of several years of careful 

 trial and experiment by Mr. J. C. Robinson, of 

 Washington Co., N, Y. Although Morning Star 

 is a pure-bred seedling of the Beauty of Hebron, 

 it bears little or no resemblance to that variety, 

 but is of a better color, hardier, less liable to 

 disease, and a better yielder. Its color is pure 

 white, very handsome in appearance, form oval 

 to oblong, seldom growing slender waisted or 

 knobby, and retains its size well to the ends, eyes 

 even with the surface, but not prominent nor too 

 numerous, quality excellent, and whether baked 

 or boiled it is of a delicate floury texture, being 

 a better table potato than most heavy croppers. 

 It is a good yielder, the vines making a strong 

 and vigorous growth, the tubers growing com- 

 pactly in the hill, with few small ones, nearly 

 all being of marketable size and bearing hand- 

 ling remarkably well, even when dug quite green. 

 It reaches maturity a few days later than the 

 Late Beauty of Hebron. Grown as a field crop 

 it has repeatedly out-yielded Late Beauty of He- 

 bron, White Star and others, thus proving its 

 right to be considered the " Farmers* Potato." 

 Peck, 81.00; bushel, 82.25; bbl., 84.75. 



NEW EARLY SUNRISE. — The earliest grown, producing pota- 

 toes fit for table eight weeks from time of planting. It is very productive, 

 a strong grower, an ex- 

 cellent keeper, and free 

 from all disease. Has 

 yield 52 barrels from one 

 barrel planted. Tubers 

 are large, uniform and 

 handsome ; flesh white, 

 fine grained, and dry, 

 cooking well even when 

 first dug. Try It. No 

 variety has ever given 

 better satisfaction to 

 my enstomers. Peck, 

 81.00; bus., $2.50; bbl., 85.00. 



EARLY MAINE.-In- 

 troduced by Mr. Gregory, 

 who found it after two 

 years' careful test beside 

 all standard sorts, and 

 with scores of seedlings 

 from every part of the 

 United States, the best 

 variety for earllness, 

 yield and quality. 

 Early Maine has yielded 

 on a large scale, 410 bush- 

 els per acre. One gentle- 

 man after planting them 

 says: "I would rather 

 pay extra for the Early 

 Maine than to take Early 

 Rose as a gift." This is 

 the general opinion of all 

 who have planted them. 

 They are not only 

 smoother, more produc- 

 tive, of better quality 

 than Early Rose, but also 

 very much earlier. Peck,

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND HOSE. 



State Potatoes ahead of

 ]'" r° i mi i i mi' | ii ii 1 1 id' -i | da nlin^ I iliiii onl fine bushel, six pounds of tin 1 tl nest potatoes I 

 ever laid my eves on. din? of the potatoes weighed nearly l'.i pounds. Next year 

 I'll plant the Empire State and throw away the rest." 



Ben. E. Morgan, Lewlsport, Ky.:— "The perk of Early Maine potatoes f got from 

 vnu vielded about seven bushels planted in ordinary ground. I planted them Just 

 fifteen flays after a pick of Early Hose. The Early Maine matured ten (lays sooner 

 than the 'Early Hose. 



W. I). ('. Mitchell. Millwood, Ohio:—" I am very well pleased with the seeds 1 got 

 of you. The Empire state potatoes are boss. 'I raised thirty bushels from fifteen 

 pounds purchased of you."

 best headers I ever raised. The Butter Lettuce heat anything I ever saw. I had 

 heads eight Inches In diameter; they were a show to my neighbors." 



By mail all potatoes are 50 cts. per lb., 3 lbs., $1.00, post-paid. 



DAKOTA RED This new sort has been 



very largely advertised. Skin is firm, of a 

 red flesh color, vine stocky and stand draught 

 well; tubers large and uniform, resembling 

 the old peachblow in flavor. It is very pro- 

 ductive, and thrives well on both sand and 

 clay soils. It has rotted less than any other 

 variety in N. Y. State. Peck, 75c; bus., 82.25; 

 bbl., 84.50. 



EARLY MAYFLOWER In 1883 it sold 



for $2.00 a pound, and all purchasers found it 

 a good investment even at this price. May- 

 flower is of medium size, with smooth skin ; 

 flesh white, solid, is entirely free from any 

 strong or earthy flavor, and in fact has no 

 superior in quality among either late orearly 

 sorts. Ripens with the Early Rose. Peck, 

 75 cts.; bus., $2.00 ; bbl., 84.00. 



CONQ.UEROR.-A seedling from the Peach- 

 blow, ripening a week later than Early Rose ; 

 flesh, fine grained, white, and of excellent 

 flavor. It is a great cropper, vines strong and 

 vigorous. This excellent potato Is certain 

 to take a place In the front rank of the 

 varieties best suited to the farmer. Its 

 vigorous growth and epreat productiveness, 

 (1,008 lbs. raised from 1 lb.,) combined with its 

 uniform smoothness, good eating qualities, 

 induce me to stake a great deal upon it. Peck, 

 75 cts.; bus., $2.00; bbl., Sl.00. 



MAGNUM BONUM.-An enormous yielder, 

 early, of unusually large size and superior 

 table quality. It originated in New York, and

 one acre, without, any manure whatever. 

 Peck, 75 cts.; bus., 82.00; bbl., 84.00. 



MAMMOTH PROLIFIC This new vari- 

 ety is, in productiveness, simply wonderful, 

 and bids fair to surpass anything yet intro- 

 duced. It is medium early, ripening in Au- 

 gust; of very handsome appearance, few eyes, 

 flesh pure white, fine grained, always solid; 

 cooks through evenly, and is dry and floury. 

 It Is a vigorous grower, vines completely cov- 

 ering the hills. Have been kept in good con- 

 dition till new potatoes come again. To sum 

 up, Mammoth Prolific is Just the potato for 

 the gardener, the farmer, the family, for the 

 shipper, for tne exhibitor; in fact, for every- 

 body and every purpose. Sold in 188:1 for 820.00 

 a bushel. Peck, 75 cts.; bus., 82.00; bbl., 84.00. 



MAMMOTH PEARL. — It is an enormous

 ularly desirable for table use. It is free from
