VEGETABLE PLANTS 
For the last three or four years I have been doing a large business in vegetable plants, selling many 
hundred thousand. My specialties in this line are 
sweet potato plants, early cabbage plants, early 
tomato plants, cauliflower, eggplants, peppers, etc. 
I pack plants to ship almost any distance; you need 
have no fear about ordering on that account. 
Sweet Potato Plants 
There is probably no section where better Sweet 
Potatoes can be grown than here in the eastern 
shore of Maryland. All customers are advised to 
buy plants. We expect to have a very fine stock 
at the proper season. 
All my Sweet Potato plants are grown from vine 
slips in coldframes without artificial heat, thus 
insuring my patrons the most vigorous and healthy 
plants to be had. 
Big Stem Jersey. (See illustration.) This is a 
very popular variety, especially with those who wish 
to get their crop in market before others begin to 
dig. It is a heavy yielder, good quality, either for 
market or home use, and the most largely grown of 
all varieties in this section. Plants 60 cts. per 100, 
postpaid; $2 per 1,000, by express, receiver to pay 
charges. 
Gold Skin. This is a beautiful yellow Potato, 
usually growing very chunky. It has a peculiarity 
of being almost a golden yellow inside, and is some¬ 
times described as being all heart. The quality 
is very fine, and this is in every way a very desirable 
Potato, either for home use or market. Price of 
plants same as Big Stem Jersey. 
Red Nansemond. This variety has a blood-red 
skin, but inside is yellow and dry. It cooks very fine, 
and many think it one of the best on the market. 
Red Nansemond is especially popular where a dry 
Potato is desired. This is also an excellent keeper. 
Price of plants same as Big Stem Jersey. 
Big Stem Jersey. Of good quality for home use or market
