I am pleased to say your Improved Telephone Peas 
were wonderful, they grew to 6 or 7 feet high and 
had from 7 to 10 peas in a pod and were prodigious 
bearers; and the taste, well it still lingers in my 
mouth. Your other seeds are doing elegant; your 
grass seed is beautiful and grows so quickly. 
Yours truly,

Breck’s Seed Potatoes 
(Solanum Tuberosum) 
(Prices subject to market changes.) 
F. o. b. Boston. 
A deep, mellow loam, rich in humus, furnishes ideal 
conditions for growing Potatoes, but good crops are raised 
on both heavier and lighter types of soil. Early varieties 
may be planted as soon as the ground can be prepared. 
Cut the tubers into pieces the size of hens’ eggs; drop 
a piece of seed every 15 inches in furrows 3 feet apart, 
and cover to a depth of 3 or 4 inches. Cultivate at inter¬ 
vals of a week or ten days gradually throwing earth up 
around the stalks after the plants are 4 inches high. For 
potatoes, fertilizers are unquestionably better than barn¬ 
yard manure. 
All our seed stock grown in Northern Maine under the 
care and rigid inspection of Government Pathologists to 
insure getting Potatoes free from dangerous diseases and 
of the best seed quality.
