SEED SWEET POTATOES 
VINELAND BUSH SWEET POTATO 
We make a specialty of Seed Sweet Potatoes, growing 
our stock exclusively in New Jersey, about nine miles from 
our Philadelphia warehouse, where we have unequalled 
facilities for handling and storing. New Jersey grown sweet 
potatoes are everywhere acknowledged to be the best in 
quality, being much dryer and sweeter than those grown 
in the South and West, while their keeping and shipping 
qualities are away ahead. We pack for shipment in boxes 
and barrels, with greatest care; but as they are very suscep- j 
tible to climatic changes, we cannot hold ourselves respon¬ 
sible for their condition after long journeys, and wish it dis¬ 
tinctly understood that customers take ALL RISKS 
after we deliver in good condition to the express company 
here. We do not ship until about planting time unless spe¬ 
cially ordered to do so. Our barrels contain 3 bushels. 
Full directions for bedding and sprouting the seed, setting 
■out and cultivating sweet potato plants, also harvesting and 
storing for winter, will be found in our new Leaflet-Essays 
on Sweet Potato Culture, which we will send free with 
all orders when requested to do so. 
The New Vineland Rush Sweet Potato originated on 
the farm of John Maytrott, the extensive sweet potato grower 
of New Jersey, from the well-known Early Nansemond and 
old Vineland Sweet Potato. It is a perfect bush, with no in¬ 
clination for spinning, resembling a bean bush very closely. 
The tubers grow directly under the stalk. They are most 
abundant bearers, good flavor, handsome, rich yellow color 
and excellent keeper*.
