What You Get When You Order My Seed Potatoes 
You get genuine Seed Potatoes, grown expressly for planting purposes, grown from stock seed of carefully 
selected mother plants, bred to perfection for yield, purity and size. They are grown in the state of Maine, where 
the soil and climatic conditions are so naturally favorable that it is acknowledged by all authorities on Potato- 
growing to surpass any other state in the United States in the production of highest quality and highest yielding 
Seed Potatoes. 
You Get Many Extra Bushels to Every Acre 
Hundreds of my customers have proved this fact for themselves by planting an equal number of acres or rows 
with my Maine-grown Seed Potatoes and their own carefully selected stock or that secured from a neighbor, and 
in every case where the same variety was planted at the same time, in the same field, sprayed and cared for in the 
same manner, they report that my Maine Seed Potatoes have yielded double the quantity that the home-grown 
produced. Where their own produced 125 bushels to the acre, our Maine-grown Seed Potatoes produced 250 bushels; 
where their own produced 25 baskets to the row, our Maine-grown Seed produced 50 baskets in the next row. 
By reason of its northern latitude and the virgin soil in which the Potatoes are grown, they inherit those staple 
and vigorous qualities which make them grow better and yield better. By all means. Friend, be wise enough to 
spend a few dollars more per acre and plant my Maine-grown Seed Potatoes and thus double your yield, which will 
mean many, many more dollars made in the crop than you would save by planting your own.

— quality, and if, after you receive and examine the Potatoes, they are not

bushels have rotted and are rotting. This greatly reduces the actual crop and at any rate you want our Seed Potatoes 
so as to produce more bushels to every acre. Potatoes are one of the most profitable cro^s you can grow.
