Irish Potatoes—Continued 
RED BLISS TRIUMPH —While not as generally grown as 
formerly, this Potato is still a favorite with some growers. 
It is probably the earliest variety. It is very hardy; a strong 
grower and a fine yielder. Grows to a good size and has a 
smooth pink skin. Price on application. 
D. & B.’S SNOW —This Potato is somewhat like the Green 
Mountain and matures at about the same time. It may br 
used as a second early or late crop Potato. It yields abun¬ 
dantly of large pure white Potatoes of unexcelled table quali¬ 
ties, and is also a splendid keeping Potato. Recommended 
only for late planting. Ask for price in season. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN —A well-known, large, handsome, pure 
white Potato, for main or late crop; a prolific yielder and 
invariably of fine table quality, cooking dry and mealy. A 
standard variety for late crop; matures about 2 weeks later 
than the Irish Cobbler. Ask for price in season. 
IMPROVED PEACH BLOW —This well-known variety is the 
hardiest, largest yielding and best keeping variety of any 
Potato grown in this section. They should not be planted 
before June 15th. Ask for price in season. 
COLD-STORAGE POTATOES— We will have a nice stock 
of the leading varieties kept in cold storage for late planting 
from June to August. Ask for prices in season. 
SWEET POTATOES 
Prices fluctuate very much, frequently from day to day. Write 
us for prices in season when ready to plant. 
CULTURE —These should be planted in hotbeds in April 
and kept well watered. As soon as the plants are ready and 
danger of frost is past in May or June they should be trans¬ 
planted to rows 3 feet apart, setting the plants 16 inches apart 
in the row. 
Seed Sweet Potatoes are very perishable, and will not keep 
long after being taken out of storage, especially in damp or 
rainy weather. For this reason we cannot carry them in stock 
for any length of time, but get them in from day to day. We 
ship only good, sound Potatoes, in firm condition, but we can 
not guarantee safe arrival of anything so perishable, though 
we are very careful in packing and shipping them. 
PORTO RICO, OR CUBAN YAM— This Potato has been 
grown extensively in the South for many years, and was in¬ 
troduced by us into this section some years ago. It has 
golden yellow flesh with pinkish skin, and is the largest 
yielding potato we know of. It is also by far the best keep¬ 
ing potato known. 
HANOVER YELLOW— The leading Yellow Potato in Han¬ 
over County, which is noted for its excellent Sweet Potatoes. 
It has a rich vellow color and cooks dry and sweet. 
PUMPKIN YAM, OR NANCY HALL— Has yellow flesh 
hence its name Pumpkin Yam. It cooks soft, juicy and 
sweet, yields well and keeps well.
