POTATOES. 
We handle none but the very highest grade of seed 
potatoes, grown strictly for seed purposes and for us by 
a potato seed grower, a specialist who has originated 
many of the leading varieties. He grows for us ex- 
clusively, no one else in the seed trade being able to get 
any of his growth of potatoes. This stock is better than 
any seed potatoes ever brought to Atlanta. It’s better 
than the potatoes we had last year, which were acknowl- 
edged to be far superior to any other sold here. Our 
seed potatoes are just what you need to make a success- 
ful crop this spring. We have none of the low grade 
commission house potatoes, gathered up and sold for 
anything the dealer has calls for. No cheap Western 
potatoes, which make a big vine and no potatoes. Ours 
is the finest of Maine-grown seed potatoes, shipped to us 
direct in solid car loads. 
Red Triumph — Beyond question the most valuable and 
popular potato for this section. The surest cropper of 
all early varieties, and its handsome appearance when

good eating and cooking qualities. It stands heat and 
drought, making a fair crop when other varieties burn 
up and make nothing. Bed-skinned variety. Peck, 50

subject to market changes.
