SEEDLING No 
30 
A New, Second Early, Round White Potato, 
Produced from a Seed Ball. 
The result of years of hard and painstaking work. The final choice out of hundreds of seedlings. From 
the first start from the seed ball five years ago this seedling showed great superiority over all the other seedlings. 
The difference shown being more pronounced each succeeding year. 
Seedling No. 30 has been tested by many of the leading potato growers in different sections and their 
reports are unanimous as to its outyielding all the ordinary varieties by the side of which it was tested. 
My father was the largest grower of potatoes in the town 
of Penfield, where I was born and reared. Well do I remember 
the "Clinton,'’ a long white variety; the "Fluke,” also a long 
white potato, but which grew smaller than the "Clinton,” we 
grew for baking; the "Seedling Mercer” of the Hebron type; 
the "Peach Blow,” a round white potato splashed with pink and 
deep eyed. Those varieties which were the leading ones grown 
in our neighborhood when I was a boy all ran out long ago as 
all varieties do run out. The only way to increase or to even 
keep up the yield is to have new varieties. 
One of the main features of our business has been the 
originating and introduction of new varieties of potatoes. The 
new varieties which we are bringing out year by year, are 
largely outyielding the old varieties and are superior to them 
in every way, just as the newer varieties of cherries, straw- 
berries, etc., are superior to the wild varieties from which they 
originated. 
Our stock of Seedling No. 30 is so limited that we offer 
them in 3 lb. lots only and in order to give every farmer a 
chance to test them without running any risk, we give the fol- 
lowing unqualifiied guarantee :
