We handle seed potatoes only and can furnish first class stock of either home grown or northern, Red 
River stock. We ship potatoes whenever the wheather seems favorable, but as these are perishable, we 
cannot assume any responsiblity for freezing or other damage in transit. t 
We list on our Pink List those varieties which we can supply at the date given on the Pink List. We 
are always pleased to make special quotations on large quantities at any time. - " f 
Culture. — Potatoes can be grown in any soil provided it is well drained, but if grown on sandy ? ; rick 
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 9 rows, 
If planted .1% feet by 3 feet there will be about 9,700 hills in one acre, and it will take between .600 anH 
700 pounds, according to the size of the sets to plant it. At 3 by 3 feet one-half the quantity is sufficient. ' 
EARLY SIX WEEKS. Earliest potato in existence 
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, 
twoiweeks ahead of any other variety, and has yielded 
as high as 400 bushels to the acre. 
TRIUMPH. Red River stock. This beautiful va- 
riety 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, productive- 
ness, and good qualities in general make it one of 
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. 
RURAL NEW YORKER No. 2. The standard white 
market potato. It is very large, usually smooth, ob- 
long, inclining to round, and rather flattened. Skin 
and flesh white, quality excellent; season inter- 
mediate. Tubers of great uniformity in size; almost 
every one marketable. 
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 j grower, a good keeper and 
ripens uniformly. - 
BURBANK. A large, long, white potato of excel- 
lent quality. Fine for main crop and a splendid 
keeper. One of the first introductions of the famous 
Wizard. - - - A 
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. 
INCREASE THE YIELD BY USING 
BUG DEATH 
One very important advantage that Bug Death has 
over other insecticides is that it will not burn the 
foliage. It can be applied liberally, even when the 
plants are small and tender. 
The first application should be made when the 
plants are quite small, to get ahead of the little 
blue beetle, which is one of the worst of the Potato 
pests. 
A second and a third application should be made 
later. Bug Death does not injure the foliage, but 
it promotes healthy growth, and the yield is much 
larger than where the leaves have been burned 
with the insecticide. 
Try Bug Death on at least a few rows, of your 
potatoes, and note the increased yield. '
