Did  It  ever  occur  to  vou  that  Aroostook  County. 
Maine,  Seed  Potatoes  are  THE  BEST.  We  do 
not  mean  by  this  that  they  are  as  good  as  any,  but 
that  they  are  absolutely  the  BEST  grown  anywhere. 
The  reasons  for  this  opinion  are  set  forth  In  our  Cat¬ 
alogue  for  1892.  Mailed  free  upon  request.
