LETHERMAN’S SEED HOUSE, Canton, Ohio 
Main Grown Seed Potatoes 
WRITE FOR OUR PRICE LIST 
All varieties except the Russet and Jersey Red are grown in the State of Maine from selected seed, 
under state inspection, in the counties that are said to be the largest producing counties in the country. 
Seed produced in this climate has bred in it the protection that Nature provides where the growing season 
is short, crowding into it all the vitality needed to withstand the rigors of the climate. This seed there¬ 
fore when planted in more moderate sections will produce sturdy, vigorous plants, and earlier and larger 
yields. It is good business practice for the potato grower to dispose of his entire crop and plant only new 
Northern Grown Seed. 
Irish Cobbler. 
IRISH COBBLER. A fine early variety, produc¬ 
ing large handsome tubers of uniform size and 
shape. A little later than Early Ohio but a 
heavier yielder. The tubers are nearly round in 
shape with strong, well-developed eyes. The 
flesh is white, cooks dry and mealy and of ex¬ 
cellent quality; a very good keeper. 
SPALDING No. 4 ROSE. This variety was 
bred out of the old popular Early Rose, but is 
a much better Potato in every way, it is shorter, 
thicker and larger. Cook very dry and mealy 
and a good keeper. A great yielder of tubers 
that will average large with very few small 
ones. 
IMPROVED EARLY OHIO. The favorite Po¬ 
tato used for early planting. They are rounded 
oblong in shape, of good size and uniform. The 
skin is light pink. Flesh is pure white, cooks 
dry and mealy, of fine flavor, a good keeper. 
Vines are hardy, grow upright and the tubers 
set in a compact clump. 
EARLY ROSE. This variety has been a great 
favorite for many years. Potatoes are oblong 
in shape, good size, light pink in color, with a 
thin skin. They cook mealy and are of the 
finest flavor. 
EUREKA EXTRA EARLY. An extremely early 
and quick maturing variety. A heavy cropper 
of big White Potatoes. The plant is dwarf and 
compact and very resistant to blight. Tubers 
are round, white, and of unsurpassed quality. 
EARLY SIX WEEKS. Another very early and 
fine quality Potato, for those wanting a strain 
for early home and market use. The tubers are 
medium to large in size, oval shape, reddish 
color with shallow eyes. 
JERSEY RED. This is a medium late or main 
crop Potato similar in shape to the well known 
Early Rose with numerous shallow eyes. The 
skin is red, and thin. Flesh is snowy white. A 
heavy yielder, a good keeper and cooks dry and 
mealy. Of unusually fine quality. A profitable 
sort for the market gardener and a most de¬ 
sirable one for the home garden. 
RURAL NEW YORKER. The standard late and 
main crop Potato for all sections. Always a 
reliable variety for the main crop and a heavy 
yielder. Tubers are round and oval in size, 
skin white. One of the best and longest keepers. 
CARMAN No. 3. A round white Potato of the 
Rural type and closely resembling it in yield 
and quality. The Carman is a heavy yielder 
and good table Potato.

riety for commercial and home use. Vines of
