MAIN CROWN SEED POTATOES 
WRITE FOR OUR PRICE LIST 
All varieties except the Russet and Jersey Red are grown in the State of Maine from selected 
seed, under state inspection, in the counties that are said to be the largest producing counties in 
the country. Seed produced in this climate has bred in it the protection that Nature provides where 
the growing season is short, crowding into it all the vitality needed to withstand the rigors of the 
climate. This seed therefore when planted in more moderate sections will produce sturdy, vigorous 
plants, and earlier and larger yields. It is good business practice for the potato grower to dispose of 
his entire crop and plant only new Northern Grown Seed. 
Cobbler 
IRISH COBBLER. A f ine early variety, producing large 
handsome tubers of uniform size and shape. A little 
later than Early Ohio but a heavier yielder. The 
tubers are nearly round in shape with strong, well- 
developed eyes. The flesh is white, cooks dry and 
mealy and of excellent quality; a very good keeper. 
SPALDING No. 4 ROSE. This variety was bred out of 
the old popular Early Rose, but is a much better 
Potato in every way, it is shorter, thicker and larger. 
Cooks very dry and mealy and a good keeper. A 
great yielder of tubers that will average large with 
very few small ones. 
IMPROVED EARLY OHIO. The favorite Potato used 
for early planting. They are rounded oblong in shape, 
of good size and uniform. The skin is light pink. 
Flesh is pure white, cooks dry and mealy, of fine 
flavor, a good keeper. Vines are hardy, grow upright 
and the tubers set in a compact clump. 
EARLY ROSE. This variety has been a great favorite 
for many years. Potatoes are oblong in shape, good 
size, light pink in color, with a thin skin. They cook 
mealy and are of the finest flavor. 
EUREKA EXTRA EARLY. An extremely early and quick 
maturing variety. A heavy cropper of big White 
Potatoes. The plant is dwarf and compact and very 
resistant to blight. Tubers are round, white, and of 
unsurpassed quality. 
EARLY SIX WEEKS. Another very early and fine qual¬ 
ity Potato, for those wanting a strain for early 
home and market use. The tubers are medium to 
large in size, oval shape, reddish color with shallow 
eyes. 
JERSEY RED. This is a medium late or main crop Potato 
similar in shape to the well known Early Rose with 
numerous shallow eyes. The skin is red, and thin. 
Flesh is snowy white. A heavy yielder, a good keep¬ 
er and cooks dry and mealy. Of unusually fine qual¬ 
ity. A profitable sort for the market gardener and 
a most desirable one for the home garden. 
CARMAN No. 3. A round white Potato of the Rural 
type and closely resembling it in yield and quality. 
The Carman is a heavy yielder and good table Pota¬ 
to. 
RURAL NEW YORKER. The standard late and main 
crop Potato for all sections. Always a reliable variety 
for the main crop and a heavy yielder. Tubers are 
round and oval in size, skin white. One of the best 
and longest keepers. 
MICHIGAN RUSSETS 
Cenuine Certified Stock

for commercial and home use. Vines of vigorous up¬ 
right branching habit with dark green foliage. Tubers 
rounded, oblong in shape, of good uniform size. Eyes 
very shallow and few. Skin finely russet, netted, 
which allows rough handling without damage and 
prevents shriveling from evaporation, thus making it 
an exceptionally good keeper. It outyields all other 
late varieties; 300 bushel yields to the acre are com¬ 
mon and often 400 bushels when grown under favor¬ 
able conditions. Eating quality equal to the best. It 
will do well in clay, and clay loam soils. Our stock is 
choice medium size Michigan grown from Pure in¬
