WHITE POTATOES. 
I do not handle White Potatoes in less than barrel 
lots, and I can usually supply the best Northern-grown 
seed. This year I am only handling one variety, as 
last season 05 per cent, of our sales were of this kind. 
The variety which I allude to is the Irish Cobbler. 
Our stoek is of the best Maine grown, of medium size; 
all large tubers which are undesirable for planting 
have been taken out by special arrangement. The Irish 
Cobbler is undoubtedly the best early market potato 
now before the public, and in this section fully 90 per
