A CHANGE OF STOCK 

 SEED IS A GREAT 

 BENEFIT 



Though Potato growing 

 is one of the main industries 

 of our country, many farm- 

 ers think that all that is 

 necessary is to plant any 

 seed on any soil and harvest 

 the crop, blaming the sea- 

 son for poor yield. Some 

 reasons for poor crops are 

 want of good seed, care, 

 cultivation and fertilizing. 

 Change of stock seed also is 

 one of the requisites neces- 

 sary to success; any one 

 variety of Potato loses 

 both in viuality and yield by 

 gro\\ang from the same 

 strain of seed every year; so 

 a change is desirable. A 

 farmer should also be con- 

 stantly experimenting with 

 new varieties, and find out 

 which are best adapted to 

 his needs and soil.

 beautiful creamy white; eyes 

 strong, well developed, and but slightly indented;

 cooking qualities will readily recommend it to every 

 grower. 



One of the earliest and 

 best Potatoes grown. A 

 seedling of the Early Rose. The tubers are oblong- 

 oval, round at the seed end, with eyes that are almost 

 even with the surface. An excellent keeper, very 

 productive, of fine quality, and has proved to be a 

 most valuable addition to our list of extra early 

 varieties. 



It is about a week later than the 

 Early Rose, but claimed to be 

 more productive. It is a white-fleshed Potato, and 

 of most superior flavor and desirable for private 

 growers and the home market.

Potato, a prolific yielder, 



fine eating quality, cooking dry and mealy. It is 

 medium early and gives excellent results on all 

 kinds of soil. The flesh is very white with a flavor 

 all its own .

This variety is too 

 well known to need 

 a description. After many years it is still as popular 

 as ever, and when you purchase the Pure Early Rose, 

 true to name, such as we offer, you obtain a variety 

 that you cannot surpass for all general purposes.

Culture. — Put the Potatoes in hotbeds in April, covering with 3 inches of earth, and after they begin to grow 

 give plenty of air on sunny days and water regularly. In May or June set out 15 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart. 

 The land should be plowed shallow in order to produce the short, chunky Potato most largely in demand.
