SEED POTATOES 
NORTHERN-GROWN CERTIFIED SEED 
For many years we have made a specialty of supplying our trade 
with northern-grown Seed Potatoes. Our stock is especially 
grown for seed, by experienced growers in the cold North 
and Northwest, and is Certified Stock, U. S. Standard No. i, 
high quality, true to type and free from disease. 
We begin shipping Seed Potatoes as early in the spring as 
weather conditions will permit, usually the 
latter part of March. However, we urge 
our customers to place their orders early, 
while our stock of all varieties is complete, 
as it frequently happens that we are unable 
tosupply certain varieties late in theseason. 
Owing to the perishable nature of Seed 
Potatoes the market is subject to radical 
changes, and it is impossible for us to 
quote prices at the time our Catalogue goes 
to press. If Price-list is not enclosed with 
Catalogue, write for prices, stating quantity 
and variety wanted. 
There is no crop so much bene¬ 
fited by the introduction of fresh, 
new seed as the Potato. ORDER

EARLY VARIETIES 
LATE VARIETIES 
EARLY SIX WEEKS. (Certified.) A very early Potato, some¬ 
what resembling the Early Ohio. 
SPAULDING’S EARLY ROSE. (Certified.) A seedling of the 
Early Rose, with pink skin, pure white flesh, much stronger 
foliage and a better Potato than the Early Rose in every way. 
EARLY OHIO. (Certified.) A sort that is well known by market- 
gardeners who are after a first-early Potato for home trade; the 
tubers are almost round, with pink skin and of excellent quality. 
IRISH COBBLER. (Certified.) An extra-early, round, white 
Potato. Vines yield heavily and the tubers are of extremely 
fine quality. An excellent all-round variety, either for the home-

Irish Cobbler 
Potatoes 
HIRUCONo. 9. (Certified.) Grown from Hiruco stock seed, direct 
from originators. This smooth-skinned Rural type Potato was 
produced from a seed-ball in 1905. Since its inception it has 
been widely distributed among particular growers and in the 
latter years has been cultivated in New York State by more 
growers entering their crops for inspection than has any other 
one variety. In 1919 the originators selected this variety on 
which to do special work for their leader, believing it to have 
the greatest combination of good points of any Rural type 
Potato. This variety has always excelled in its eating quality, 
heavy-yielding ability, shallow and well-placed eyes, the latter 
making it cut to much better advantage for seed than do many 
of the other well-known varieties. The extensive selection 
has increased the setting ability and freed this source of the 
diseases which are so common. Its smooth white skin makes it 
have a beautiful appearance and therefore satisfies a wider 
range of markets than a rougher skinned tuber. 
RUSSET. (Certified.) It is an exceptionally heavy yielder, table 
quality of the very best, and with smooth, velvety, russet skin and 
shallow eyes. No Potato can surpass it in uniform and handsome 
appearance. It is very fine-grained, cooks as white as flour, 
and is of splendid flavor; an excellent keeper and retains its 
good eating qualities until late in the spring. It is one of the 
hardiest varieties known. Its great productiveness, handsome 
color and resistance to diseases make it a very popular Potato 
and one especially suited to our locality. 
CARMAN No. 3. (Certified.) Extra large, oblong, slightly 
flat, white. Vines are extra-good growers and yield an im¬ 
mense quantity of tubers of uniform size. One of the best 
late varieties; of excellent quality; good keeper. 
SIR WALTER RALEIGH. (Certified.) The tubers vary 
from round to oblong in shape, uniformly of good size, white¬ 
skinned and of excellent quality. A good keeper, and, like 
Carman No. 3, a very heavy yielder.
