THOS. GRISWOLD & CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE, 
MAINE GROWN SEED POTATOES. 
There is probably no crop grown that is benefited more by change of seed than the 
potato. This has been demonstrated extensively by ourselves and others in this vicinity 
and proven that the Northern Grown Seed produces much better results both in yield and 
quality of the potatoes, and growers realize this fact and are planting more every year of 
this Maine grown stock in preference to their native seed. We have thousands of bhshels 
of these potatoes contracted for and stored in frost-proof cellars in Maine to be shipped to 
us in the spring and expect they will reach us about April ioth. And can be reshipped to our 
customers direct from the cars as soon as they arrive. 
There is no doubt but what the potato crop in Maine is short this year, some growers 
report a shortage of 40 per cent, to 50 per cent, of last year and we look for high prices in 
the spring. The prices we quote are what seems to us fair prices at the time this catalogue 
is printed but are subject to market fluctuations.
