keeper. We sell more Irish Cobblers than any other.

I wish we could spare the space to print a hundred or more out of 
thousands of testimonials we receive. They would readily convince every 
reader of this catalogue that the right place to send for best Sped Potatoes 
is Schell's. Mr. D. ii. Richter writes, "We are lifting the largest and 
finest crop of potatoes we ever grew, they are running 350 bushels to 
the acre. This is the result of planting your seed Potatoes. ' 
"I have the finest Irish Cobblers and Karly Ohios in America; they averaged 400 
bushels per acre." — Mr. Fk.\nk IIokstick. 
POTATO SEEDS FROM 
SEED BALLS 
Potato seeds are curious and wonderful. 
The product of a packet of seeds will be a 
vast number of colors, shapes and sizes. 
There will be white, yellow, pink. red. blue, 
purple and black Potatoes. Extraordinary 
freaks sometimes develop — such as a Potato 
having vines that run on the ground like a 
cucumber vine, the joints taking root and 
producing Potatoes at ever>' joint, etc. ^ 
Potato seeds grow as readily as tomato 
seeds. Plant them early in the spring; when 
they are 3 or 4 inches high, transplant 2 feet 
apart. 
It is not an uncommon thing for one seed 
to produce so to 150 small perfect Potatoes 
the first season. Pkt. 1& cts., 4 pkts. 50c. 
Every year we bring a whole trainload of our high-yielding Seed Potatoes direct from Maine. I urge you to place your order 
E^t once to be forwarded as soon as weather conditions make it safe to send them, I will reserve them for you,
