EARLY CANADA POTATO. 
< 
“One hundred pounds from one potato.” 
“The earliest potato I ever grew.” 
“Would not take $25 for my crop from $1 worth.” 
“The neighbors are all crazy after the seed.” 
“ Have been offered $3 per bushel for all I have.” 
“ I must have seed for another acre this year.” 
“Are ten days earlier than the Early Ohio.” 
“The finest eating potato I ever grew.” 
“The EARLY CANADA is the potato for this sec- 
tion.” 
“ Have just dug 6 bushels from 5 pounds planted.” 
“Grew fast and rank; bugs never touched them.” 
“EARLY CANADA is the wonder of my neighbor- 
hood.” 
Such are the reports coming in from the few we sold last year. 
Mr. F. E. Carrington, of Rock Co., Iowa, made $ 175-7 5 in two years from a $i investment in 
one of our new and improved varieties of potatoes. There are better chances for you to make money 
with the EARLY CANADA ; because, when he made his money potatoes were only worth from 1 2 to 
1 5 cents per bushel. It is the far-sighted farmers who are watching out for and improving such 
chances, who are making the money these days. 
Twenty Years Ago a fruit can factory consisted of several dozen men ana as many 
boy-helpers, who made the cans by hand. With twenty men and boys, the most that could be turned 
out with a hard day’s work was sixteen thousand cans ; while to-day the same number of hands, mostly 
boys, with modern machinery, will turn out two hundred thousand cans per day. 
Thirty Odd Years Ago the ironclads — Monitor and Merrimac - — revolutionized naval 
warfare, and shaped the destiny of this nation. To-day those same vessels would be like children’s 
toys in the presence of a modern warship. While such wonderful advances have been made in all 
branches of manufacture, warfare, etc., just as great have been made in originating and improving 
farm seeds. 
Thirty years ago the Early Rose Potato was considered a perfect wonder. The EARLY CANADA 
is as far superior to what the Early Rose was then as modern machinery is to the old ; besides, the 
new varieties being superior at the start, the old varieties are constantly deteriorating by long-continued 
cultivation. No farmer can afford not to try this wonderful potato, even if he had to borrow the 
money and pay 20 per cent, for the use of it. 
I grew a small piece of Early Canada potatoes last year by the side of several of the ordinary varieties grown in this vicinity, 
both early and late, and the Early Canada outyielded them all many bushels per acre. I dug thirteen sale potatoes from one hill, 
all smooth and handsome. They are the earliest variety I have ever grown, and I have been growing potatoes for twenty-five years.
