THE CONCAVE AND CURVED SEED POTATO KNIFE. 
Cut with a thin, straight knife a 
slice lengthways about *4 inch thick 
from the center of a potato and 
hold it between you and the light. 
Feeders from the eyes will be shown 
as in Fig. i. 
If these feeders are interfered 
with, either by cutting them off or 
shaving too close to them, the 
vitality will be greatly reduced. 
It is evidently desirable then, in 
cutting potatoes for seed, to con¬ 
form to the structure of the tuber. 
With the common straight knife 
this is impossible. 
The Concave and Curved Seed 
Potato Knife meets these require¬ 
ments fully. It will cut two or 
three eyes in a piece better than any 
other knife, and will cut to single 
eyes without coming in contact 
with feeders, leaving the pieces in 
good shape to handle cither by 
hand or with machine. 
The great superiority of this 
knife lies, not so much in the saving 
of seed as in the increase in yield, for it is a recognized fact that potatoes cut to single eyes and planted in drills will 
produce the largest crop, and this is the only knife that will cut them to single eyes without injuring the vitality. 
Full directions for using accompany each knife. Price, postpaid, 35 cents.
