> MA\::;S NORTHERN GROWN SEEDS BEST FOR ALL CLIMES^ 



Northern Grown Seed Potatoe 



Otir Potato Farms being the most extensive in the Northwest, 

 situated in Washington Countv, one of the most fertile spots of 

 Minnesota, and where the soil is most conducive to the successful 

 cultivation, we supplv our customers with stock such as few 

 seedsmen are in a position to do Our large storage cellars give 

 us special facilities for handling our stock 



We have for years made a specialty of potato growing, and 

 have introduced several new -varieties of great merit, such as 

 the Algoma, Bismai-k, May's Late and inanv others Two years ago 

 we introduced the Netted Gem, (the great Montana seedhng whi.-ii 

 we illustrate on the inside front cover,) which 

 we feel eclipses all the other varieties of late introduc- 

 tion Our extensive experiments have led us to select stock ot 

 extraordinary quality, and our patrons can be assured that 

 if earh', medium or late sorts are required they will receive 

 same true to name. 



We ask a careful perusal of our list, and our prices will lie 

 found low considering the quality and variety. 



We are often asked sf we ship more than one variety of pota 

 toes in a barrel This we do, placing one kind in the barrei 

 loose, the rest in separate sacks, making: no extra charge for 

 bag's, barrels or packing 



(See cut.) A grand new potato, a quick maturing main crop 

 variety, of best keeping qualities and rare productiveness. A new 



white skin, main crop pota.to. It is a splendid new potato, 

 much resembling Rural New Yorker No. 2, of which it is a 

 seedling. It is decided Ijf better than its parent, the tubers 

 being quite uniform in size, with bttt few small ones among 

 them. It is from 4 to 6 days later than the parent stock. 

 The color is the same, the skin and flesh being white In fact 

 it can be justly claimed for. Sir Walter Raleigh that it is the 

 whitest fleshed and finest grained potato on the whole list of 

 main crop sorts, not even excepting the Snowflakes It prom- 

 ises to supersede all other sorts of its class on account of its 

 sterling excellence. On the grounds of the Rural New Yorker 

 it proved the best and heaviest croper of 49 varieties. Farmers 

 who pl.'int this sort are practically certain of getting big re- 

 turns on their investment, as it invariably jnelds big crops 

 and the potatoes alwaj's bring a good price on the tnarket

 per cent of starch. The Amines are vigorous and very 

 productive Its crowning merit lies in its cooking

The Acme Tubular 

 Potato Planter. 



f fir* This is undoubtedly 

 M.,\j\jm tjig rnost improved, 

 strongest and yet the most sim- 

 ple planter on the market at 

 the present time. It plants uni- 

 formly in all kinds of soil. It 

 is far ahead of the common 

 Acme, and experience proves to 

 us that it is worth twice as 

 much to any farmer. It 

 does its work quicklv 

 and equally as well 

 as many of the potato 

 planters sold at ten 

 times its price. $1.00.
