AN AGRICULTURAL WONDER.

PINE SHAPE. 
ENORHOUS YIELDS. 
A new Potato that is certain to take the lead with growers who desire a first class early variety that is productive and sure to yield a 
good crop even in the most unfavorable seasons. Market gardeners and all others who grow potatoes cannot afford to overlook this wonderful 
variety. Its certainty to produce a big crop, fine appearance and enormous yield have called forth a testimonial from some of the most experienced 
Ix>tato growers in America, "The Rural New Yorker," the great agricultural paper of the East, says: "From time to time we have dug a

Minn., has given the best yield. It is a most shapely potato, being smooth, oblong and slightly flattened." 
3. BlOB, Bear Lake, Mich., writes: "Am very much pleased with your Algoma." .1. C. HnsKiNS, Avoca, Ark., writes: "Your Algomas are A 
No. 1. A tine potato.'' M. C. Htri.i., Lebanon, Mo., .says: "I ju.st dug one hill of Algomas containing twenty potatoea."

A fine potato, not as ejirly hut equal 
_ to Karly Ohio in quality, and far 
ahead in quantity. In yield it is as satisfactory as the main crop varieties, 
and is a hancisome and .salable market sort. Its name was suggested by its 
wonderfully vigorous habit of growth. Our personal experience on our 
trial grounds, at Mayfield, induces us to .safely recommend it as a variety 
worthy of a place in your garden. Lb. 30c, 3 lbs. 75c, pk. 50c, bu.

some tuliers and large yield it is not surpassed. Potatoes color 
differently in different soiLs and localities and this one came

other, where it was sent for trial. We recommend this as the 
best second earlv: to secure it order early, as our stock is limited.

Early Fortune. 
The Acme Tubular Potato Planter for only $1.15. 
Thl^ is undoiibt-edly the most improvf*!, stronRGst and yet the 
most simple plant-er on tho market at the present time. It plants 
uniformly in all kinds of soil. It Is far ahead of the common Acme, 
and experience proves to us that it is worth twice as much to any 
farmer. It does its work quickly, and equally as well as many of the 
potato planters sold at ten times its price.
