INSTRUCTIONS TO SALESMEN. 
All potatoes at listed price in this catalogue are delivered freight paid to the railroad station nearest to purchaser's residence, and such station 
must be in every instance designated on order blank, in blank space for this purpose. 
Orders will not be accepted or filled for a less quantity than the smallest quantity quoted on such variety. Half bushels sold at peck rates, 
unless otherwise noted. Where a barrel of potatoes are ordered of two varieties— one-half of each— 35 cents will be added to the regular barrel rates 
of such varieties to cover extra cost of putting up. We cannot accei)t orders for more than two varieties in a barrel. No extra charge for bags or 
barrels. Weight of potatoes, 60 pounds to the bushel ; 165 pounds to the barrel. Safe arrival at point of destination guaranteed. 
Our prices are not to be confounded with catalogue prices. Our rates are for seed, delivered freight paid, while buying through catalogues, 
purchaser always pays freight or express, assuming all risk of transportation, and in many cases cost of packing, etc., all of which means about as 
much more as the first cost of the potatoes. 
While we aim to furnish the best of the older sorts of potatoes, our specialty is new and valuable sorts, which we have tested to the extent of 
establishing their su|>crio:ity beyond a question. 
Change of Seed, and Northern Grown Seed.— The importance of changing seed, and point of origin cannot be emphasized too strongly. 
Minnesota potatoes have a national reputation— healthy stock, productiveness, cooking, marketing, and keeping qualities. While our Eastern and 
more Southern competitors are doing all they can to sell their own stock, they frankly concede that Northern and Minnesota grown potatoes are 
superior in every respect. Seed should be changed every season. Our experienced growers, even when planting the same varieties e;ich year, prefer to 
come to us for their stock rather than use their own. The yield is much heavier, the stock purer, freedom fi om diseases guaranteed, and the crops 
bring more in the market. 
HOW TO GROW POTATOES. 
Big crops, large, smooth, handsome potatoes and of fine quality, is all told in the "A. B. C. Potato Culture," a book written l)y T. B. Terry, of 
Ohio. Mr. Terry has devoted his time and land to the potato for years, and in this work he tells all about how he has attained his magnificent suc- 
cess raising jiotatoes. Mr. Terry's articles on farming and farm crops are always in demand by the leading agricultural jiapers of the country. 
Every farmer should have this book in the house. We give one with everj' order for seed potatoes to the amount of $5.00. We consider the 
book easily worth $5.00 if not obtainable for less. Make sure your order foots to $5.00 and that the salesman enters the book on order blank.
