SEED POTATOES 
NORTHERN GROWN 
CULTURE—Potatoes thrive better on light sandy soil, yet under favorable conditions a good crop may be ob¬ 
tained on heavier soil. If stable manure is to be used, see that it is well rotted and not allowed to come in contact 
with the tuber. Make rows 3 feet apart and plant about 8 or 10 inches apart in the rows. Cover seed about 4 
Inches if ground is warm and dry; if cold and wet, cover 3 inches. Cultivate frequently to keep down the weeds. 
As the vines increase draw the earth around them, forming a slight ridge. When the bugs appear Spray with 
Paris Green. Plant from 8 to 10 bushels to the acre. 
NEW YORK EARLY ROSE —A leading variety for 
earliness, quality and productiveness. 
RURAL NEW YORKER —A valuable variety, of 
large size, very smooth and a great cropper; in quality 
unexcelled. This variety is yearly becoming more pop¬ 
ular as the best late long keeper, and we recommend it 
highly.

early; flesh white; cooks white and mealy.

cropper; one of the best for Winter keeping.

standard variety, so well known that it needs no de¬ 
scription. Our stock of this variety is the very best.

on the market; favorite with the trucker; very pro¬ 
ductive; matures early; shape is chunky, almost round; 
very strong and deeply set; skin is netted; flesh white 
GREEN MOUNTAIN —A splendid late-crop variety: 
an excellent keeper; very prolific.

better than the McCormick. Oblong in shape; color red;

ities unexcelled; will yield from 25 to 35 bushels to one
