Seed Potatoes— -79 



Culture.— Use 8 to 12 bushels of seed potatoes per acre. Cut to two or three eyes. Plant In rows 8 feet apart, and drop 

 15 to 18 inches apart In row. Cultivate constantly and thoroughly. Ridging with loose soil is often practiced, but it is 

 not always necessary. Store in frost-proof cellar in winter. Potatoes are planted both early and late. 



The Favorite Extra Early 



None More Quick to Mature 

 More Proof Against Drought and Blight 

 So Free from Second Growth 



As to its origin and history, the originator 

 says of it : "Eureka Extra Early was a 

 chance hill found growing in a field of 

 Early Morn potatoes, season of 1895. In 

 looking over the field a single plant was 

 noticed distinct from the rest, which died 

 while the others were still green. 



"It has never failed to i^roduce a large 

 crop of extra early potatoes. The plant is 

 dwarf and com]3act, maturing in advance 

 of the Early Rose and Freeman. It never 

 has had the blight. The tubers are round, 

 slightly flattened. White skin, free from 

 disease. Flesh, white and mealy; no cores 

 or black specks. Quality unsurpassed. 



"One point alone which makes it valu- 

 able is that it has never taken second 

 growth, and resists drought better than any 

 other potato I have ever grown. jSTorth, 

 South, East and West, Eureka the past 

 summer came off' with flying colors. I 

 again advise early orders, for while my 

 stock is large, the demand for Eureka is 

 simply astonishing. Lb., 40 cts.; 3 lbs.,

A Great Leader in the South 



Extremely prolific and a full week in advance of Early Rose. Color, 

 a beautiful light red. Size, medium. Growth, very uniform. Shape, 

 nearly round. The flesh is white; very mealy when cooked. This 

 potato is in exceedingly high favor with Southern market gardeners 

 and truckers, and is shipped to the Northern marl^ets in enormous 

 quantities in the early spring. It grows well at the North. The eyes 

 are slightly depressed and the skin is smooth. Its beauty, good qual- 

 ity, extreme earliness and great productiveness make it very profitable.

BLISS' RED TRIUMPH POTATO. 



GREEN MOUNTAIN 



An improved Stat© 

 of Maine Potato 



This is a most excellent late potato; It does remarkably 

 well on poor soils, and is very free from disease; it resists 

 drought wonderfully well, and produces tubers of large size 

 and attractive appearance; flesh white. It is a good keeper, 

 and when put away in the fall will keep well until spring.

for years has had the well 

 - , earned reputation of being 



the best potato^ growing district in the world. My entire crop of 

 seed potatoes is annually grown for me under contract by the 

 very best farmers in Aroostook Co. I probably sell more seed 

 potatoes direct to the planter than any other seed house in the 

 United States. This season my crops are particularly clean and 

 nne, and are sure to please the most exacting buyer. 



Potatoes wiil be shipped at any date ordered during the winter, but at your own risk. Where no special instructions are 

 given to the contrary, i will hoid same antil In my judgment there will b? tmm from freezing and then ship promptly.
