good old-fashioned kind.

Maine-grown Early Rose Potatoes in any quantity.

growth, ripening a week ahead of Early Rose, which 
it far exceeds in earliness, productiveness and excel- 
lence for table use, either boiled or baked; a good 
keeper; pure white skin; flesh rich and delicate. 
Early Northers. Extra early; productive; shape 
of Early Rose and fine quality. 
Irish Cobbler. A wonderful Potato. It will 
oulyield all other early kinds and equal most of the 
later varieties. Color a pure creamy white. 
Early Ohio. Extra early, maturing about two 
weeks earlier than Rose. 
Queen. Early, productive, and of fine quality. 
Late Varieties 
Green Mountain. A late Potato which does 
well on all kinds of soils; very productive; oval in 
shape; good keeper; of fine quality. 
Carman No. 3. It is the handsomest large white 
Potato ever produced. It will out yield any other, 
and practically every Potato is of marketable size.

flesh of best quality. ’
