WALTER S. SCHELLS QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET- GARDENERS 
Pure IMame-Grown Seed Potatoes 
GROWN ESPECIALLY FOR ME IN THE STATE OF MAINE 
Inspected by the government and guaranteed perfect stock 
Mr. J. W. Clemson. market-gardener, said: "Your Maine-grown Ohios came to maturity ten days earlier 
than seed of the same variety I got from New York State. Both crops were grown under the same conditions 
exactly. Yours were fine." 
Mr. George Davis, market-gardener and farmer, said: "I am convinced by actual test that it pays me to 
plant your Maine Seed Potatoes instead of my own. Planted side by side, the same day, on the same soil, 
cultivated in the same way, yours produced nine baskets to the row, and mine only three — I will plant all your 
seed next season." 
Every large Potato-grower knows that Maine produces the best Seed Potatoes in the world. 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 at once the best and most valuable seed known. 
My Seed Potatoes are grown in Maine 
by special contract with one who has 
made Seed Potato-growing a business for 
many years, and who has tne enviable repu- 
tation of producing the handsomest, cleanest, 
truest type of northern grown Seed Potatoes 
that ever came to the middle and southern 
markets for planting. 
This high quality gave my customers most 
satisfactory results in past years. A number 
of my customers found by actual test that 
the Maine Seed Potatoes, planted under the 
same conditions as their own home-grown 
Potatoes, seemed to withstand the blight far 
better because of their vigorous qualities, and 
yielded far more to the acre, and better 
Potatoes. 
Mr, W. H. Lenker. Linglestown, Pa., a large 
wholesale grower, said: "Those were the finest 
Irish Cobbler Potatoes I ever saw." He is a 
good judge of what Potatoes ought to be. 
W. J. Schubauer, one of our largest market- 
gardeners, said: "Enter my order for fifty-five 
barrels of your Maine Seed Potatoes. I had a 
fine crop from your seed last year." 
David Hepford, market-gardener, says: 
"Your Seed Potatoes are the finest I ever saw." 
H. L. Reichert says: "They can't be beat. 
I have planted your Seed Potatoes for six years, 
and always had a big crop." 
Lifting the crop with an Iron Age Digger. We sell them; write for
