POTATOES 
It is of the utmost importance that new blood be frequently introduced in order to raise large and paying 
crops of Potatoes. When a really good new sort is offered it at once becomes popular, for the reason that it 
produces greater crops than the old varieties. In the course of years, it in its turn is supplanted, and so on the 
changes go, and what was the * best going " a few years ago ceases to be grown by progressive farmers and gardeners. 
We have secured a supply of the two great new Potatoes, Findlay's Star and Eldorado, both originated by Mr. A. Findlay, the great Scotch 
potato hybridizer, and who has certainly done work that is of great importance to the world. Sucn an interest was evinced in Europe by the 
appearance of these two varieties (that there proved to be not only blight and disease proof but enormous croppers as well, and of the very 
highest quality), that in 1902 the price for one Potato of the " Findlay's Star" was $100, and in 1904 a single Tuber of Eldorado brought £50 
(or ^250.00). This is surely the Romance of the Potato. 
NOROTON BEAUTY — The most productive of all the verj' early varieties. Handsome, round, and uniform sized 
tubers — white with pink eyes. Has given the very greatest satisfaction in every way to the most critical growers. Its 
table quality is superb, a grand keeper, lb. 20c.; 5 lbs. 85c.; post-paid (peck 7oc; bushel 82.30 here). 
ELDORADO — Eldorado is white-skirmed, slightly russetted, oval-shaped, of very vigorous growth, highest table quality, 
blight and disease proof. All these qualities make it so desirable that no grower should fail to plant some. lb. 20c.; 
.5 lbs. 90c.; post-paid (peck $1.60 here.) 
FINDLAY'S STAR — Mr. Findlay, the introducer, saj's: — " A very hea^'y cropper and the most disease resisting and weather 
defjnng potato I have known." Findlay's Star has produced many times under ordinary field culture over 600 bushels 
per measured acre, and in some cases produced as high as 1 ,000 bushels per acre. lb. 15c.; 5 lbs. 70c.; post-paid (peck 
$1.00 here). , k t«=

XrAIS.i:>nxr will sow one acre. 
CULTURE — Sow early in spring in deeply dug or trenched ground that has been enriched 
the previous fall, in drills 18 inches apart, thinning out to 6 or 8 inches. In heavy clay soil that 
is wet and sticky in early spring and that later is Dkely to get very hard, we have found it a good 
plan to sow seed in the fall, so late that there is no chance of the seed germinating. In this way 
it starts very early. For exhibition purposes it is a good plan to make a line of holes, 1 to 1)^ 
ft. deep, with a pointed picket, filling these with a rich sandy compost; then sow a few seeds on top 
of each, andlyouiwiUjlmve extraordinarily large smooth roots.

cognized as the best exhibition variety. oz. 40c.; i oz. 25c.; pkt. 15c
