Irish Cobbler Potato 



Extremely Early — a World Wide Favorite 



It is a most excellent extra early variety, producing plump, hand- 

 some tubers of good size and excellent quality. It has also the remark- 

 able characteristic of producing very few, if any, small potatoes, all the 

 tubers being of marketable size. The vines make short, upright growth, 

 so that the hills may be only a short distance apart. The flesh is pure 

 white, with a clean, smooth, white skin with strong well-developed 

 eyes slightly indented. In quality they are excellent, always cooking 

 dry and mealy. Splendid keepers, and a first-class sort worth the 

 attention of all potato growers. 



Pound, 35 cents; 3 pounds, 90 cents, postpaid. 

 By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.00; bnshel, $3.50; barrel (2| bos.) , $S.00.

THE FREEMAN POTATO. 



The Freeman 



Early and Heavy Cropping 



The Freeman is a strong grower, early in 

 reaching maturity; productive, and univer- 

 sally admitted to be the finest flavored 

 potato on the market. 



The tuber is oval in shape and russet in 

 color. The flesh is very white, both raw 

 and when cooked, fine grained and of best 

 flavor. The greatest merits of this variety 

 are its extreme earliness, wonderful pro- 

 ductiveness and long keeping qualities. 



We have frequently dug six to nine 

 pounds from a single hill, and in rich 

 ground there are few small ones.
