The Rocky Mountain Seed Co., Denver, Colo 
Seed Potatoes 
CULTURE—500 to 600 pounds will plant an acre. Any good, well-drained soil will produce potatoes under 
right climatic conditions and proper cultivation. For early potatoes that mature in 10 to 12 weeks from the 
time of planting, the soil should be particularly rich. A rich clover or alfalfa sod manured and broken the 
year before and planted to corn or some other crop that is cultivated well and often, is in best shape for growing 
a good crop of nice, clean potatoes. The first requisite for a crop of good potatoes is good seed, and the next is 
good soil—then proper cultivation. Cut the potatoes so that each piece will have two or more eyes, then plant in 
furrows 6 inches deep, 2/ 2 to 3 feet apart, and 12 to 15 inches apart in the row. Cover 3 to 4 inches deep, 
and about the time the potatoes are ready to come through run a harrow over the ground, which will level up 
the furrows, making a smooth ground upon which to work when the potatoes come through and are ready for 
cultivation. 
EARLY OHIOS —This Is the earliest, surest, best and most 
profitable of the early varieties, and a decided favorite 
with those growing potatoes for the early market, as it 
can be marketed before it is fully grown. Our seed of 
these is direct from Minnesota, freshly assorted and 
true to name. 
RURAL NEW YORKER —This is the most popular, and by 
far the best potato grown in the Greeley district. It is 
large, oblong, smooth and very attractive, and com¬ 
mands top prices wherever sold. 
BLISS TRIUMPH —Tubers are medium size, round and 
uniform in shape, with but few small ones; eyes 
slightly depressed, color a beautiful light red. Its 
beauty, productiveness and good qualities in general 
make it one of the best early market varieties. 
RED McCLURE —This is grown very largely on the West¬ 
ern Slope and in the mountains, where it seems to 
thrive best. It is very hardy and vigorous, oval in shape, 
and attractive in appearance. Cooks mealy and dry, and 
Is of fine flavor. 
IRISH COBBLER —An extra early variety, maturing only a 
week or ten days later than the Early Ohio. The tubers 
are round, uniform in size and shape; the eyes are 
strong, well developed and slightly indented. The flesh 
is a creamy white, of fine quality and flavor. It is a 
vigorous grower, good keeper, and ripens uniformly. 
Because of Its earliness and prolific growth, it is the 
principal variety raised on the Western Slope for the 
early market. 
BURBANK —A large white potato of excellent quality. Fine 
for main crop and a splendid keeper.
