Our potatoes are grown by experienced men, who make a specialty of potatoes for seed. You can 
depend on our stock. It is usually cheaper to have potatoes shipped in bags on account of both the cost 
of the barrel and the greater weight. We will ship potatoes whenever directed, or use our best judgment 
but in no case will we be responsible for delay or damage in transit. 
CULTURE. Potatoes can be grown in any soil provided it is well drained, but if grown on sandy, 
rich soil they will be of better quality than if planted on clay soil. The sets should be planted from 3 to 
4 inches deep, according to the time of planting, in rows 3 feet apart and 16 to 18 inches in the rows. If 
planted 1}4 feet by 3 feet there will be about 9,700 hills in one acre, and it will take between 600 and 700 
pounds, according to the size of the sets to plant it. At 3 by 3 feet one-half the quantity is sufficient. 
EARLY OHIO 
IRISH COBBLER. One of the most popular of 
the early varieties. Its excellent quality, together 
with its cream-white color, makes it fine for the 
best trade. It is a vigorous grower, a good keeper 
and ripens uniformly. 
EARLY SIX WEEK Si Earliest potato in exist- 
ence and most valuable for market gardeners. A 
great beauty. Perfect table potato and a wonderful 
yielder Ready for market in six weeks, matures 
in 72 days, two weeks ahead of any other variety, 
and has yielded as high as 400 bushels to the 
acre. 
SPRAY YOUR POTATOES 
We know of no bug that does as much damage 
and still can be controlled as easily as the Potato 
Bug. 
No large grower would think of raising potatoes 
without spraying. Every patch of potatoes should 
be sprayed as spraying greatly increases the yield. 
You will find a complete line of Spray Pumps and 
Insecticides in another part of this catalog. Order 
these early so as to have them on hand when the 
bugs come. 
TRIUMPH. Red River Stock. This beautiful 
variety combines the wonderful productiveness of 
the Peerless with all the good qualities of the Early 
Rose. Tubers are medium size, round and uniform 
in shape, with but few small ones; eyes slightly 
depressed* color a beautiful light red. Its beauty, 
productiveness and good qualities in general make 
it one o the best early market varieties, especially 
for the South, from whence it is shipped to Northern 
markets, bringing highest prices on account of its 
appearance. 
EARLY OHIO. Northern grown, Red River 
stock. Extra early, and one of the best, if not the 
best, for the Western states. It is fit for table use 
before fully ripe, and can be shipped earlier than 
any other variety. 
EARLY OHIO. Kaw Valley stock.
