PARSLEY 
No really particular house¬ 
wife can do without Parsley 
for garnishing. Aside from 
this common use, good cook¬ 
ing cannot be done without 
it because of the delicious 
flavor it imparts to sauces, 
gravies, and soups. Parsley 
is the finest border plant we 
have for the vegetable gar¬ 
den, and it is the simplest 
thing in the world to grow, 
and always hard to get when 
you want it most. Was ever 
a truer word said? Grow 
Parsley. Don’t argue. It 
should be in every garden

BRECK’S POTATOES 
Potatoes are such a staple product of the soil that we are apt to forget the thrill that comes 
from digging new Potatoes right out of the garden and serving them “just plain boiled” 
with their jackets on. Home-grown Potatoes make us wonder why we ever eat the ordinary 
kind the rest of the year. Those who have the land are missing something if they don’t grow 
enough Potatoes for their own Summer and Autumn consumption. 
*The Certified Irish Cobbler and Green Mountain Potatoes supplied by us are shipped in 
full bags of 2 bushels or 120 pounds, with the blue tag attached by the Inspector from the 
Agricultural Department of the State of Maine, which certifies that the Potatoes have been 
carefully grown, sorted and inspected under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture 
for the State of Maine, insuring stock which is practically free from disease, of vigorous growth 
and true to name and type. We recommend planting only the Certified Stock of these 
two varieties.

EARLY VARIETIES 
*IRISH COBBLER. (Certified Stock.) 
The most popular and reliable early 
white sort. Quite round, with deep-set 
eyes. Distinct type. 
Early Ohio. A splendid sort about a week 
earlier than Early Rose. Red skin; dry, 
mealy. One of the best for early market. 
Early Rose. Standard early variety. Red 
skin. An old favorite in New England. 
LATE VARIETIES 
*GREEN MOUNTAIN. (Certified Stock.) 
Large, handsome, white, main-crop 
Potato. The standard Winter variety. 
Rural Russet. A selection of the well- 
known Dibble’s Russet. Strong, deep- 
rooted vine. Plants resist blight and 
drought. Tubers excellent keepers of 
unsurpassed quality. 
Carmen No. 3. Large; smooth; white. 
Spaulding Rose. Late. Potatoes large, 
smooth, of excellent quality; red skin. 
Northern Gold 
An early white Potato of better 
quality than the Irish Cobbler, and 
fully as early here in New England. 
In shape, very similar to the Green 
Mountain variety, but with larger and 
more distinct eyes and with a slightly 
netted skin. After repeated tests in 
several sections of New England, we 
can, without reservation, recommend 
it most highly as a variety superior in 
every way to Irish Cobbler for the 
home-garden. Pk. $1.00; bus. $3.00; 
2-bus. bag $5.50. 
SWEET POTATO 
Although Sweet Potatoes are but little 
grown in the northern states they succeed 
very well if given a light, well-drained and 
warm soil. Planting must be deferred until 
all frost danger has passed. 
Nansemond. Best sort for New England. 
Plants, $1.25 per 100; $10.00 per 1000;
