New Everbearing Strawberry, 
Grow Strawberries From Seed. 
Jj The Earliest, the Largest and most Productive 
None more Proof against Drought and Blight 
| MILLS’ FIRST CHOICE 
S For several years we have been looking 
for an Extra Early Potato possessing all the 
0 good qualities to be found in a Potato and at 
| the same time enormously productive and 
s producing a larger per cent of large tubers 
0 in a crop than any other variety in cultiva- 
Q tion. We have at last found what we think 
9 * will just meet the requirements and we have 
succeeded in securing a fair quantity to dis- 
jj tribute among our customers in 1908. There 
a are many other varieties of early potatoes 
0 now on the market but this one will be the 
M leader in every section where once grown 
0 and we know it will prove the most popular 
A Early Potato in the country. 
& The engravings of this new Potato have 
0 been carefully made, which will show the im- 
mense yielding qualities, perfect shape, large 
5 size and handsome appearance. They are 
0 always smooth, clean and free from prongs 
jj or scab. The tubers grow compactly in the 
9 " hill, eyes are shallow, very fine grain, cooks 
dry and mealy, even when first dug ; retain- 
Jj ing their excellent cooking qualities and keep 
m sound and perfect until late in the spring. 
4 . One point alone which makes them very 
Jj valuable is that they resist drought and blight 
K better than any other potato we ever saw. 
Jj Grown by the side of other early sorts, they 
5 produced J more of large tubers and matured 
0 ten days before the very earliest varieties. 
Jj In the north, south, east and west this new 
0 Potato will surely lead off in flying colors this 
summer. Not half enough can be said in 
Jj favor of this grand Early Potato, and we are 
« sure the seed will sell everywhere at enor- 
| mous prices when once known. 
0 We will not sell a Potato this year at any 
M price for we do not expect to introduce them 
5 until next year, but we shall send out sample 
0 lots free for testing with every one of our 
Jj Wonderful Strawberry Collections, 
^ offered on this page. 
9 We will buy every Potato you can grow 
from this sample lot if you will sell them for 
Jj we want all we can get next year when we 
0 offer them to the public. We do not expect 
to introduce them for less than $10.00 per 
0 bushel in 1909, and we know there will be 
fj an enormous demand for this Wonderful 
2 Early Potato when people hear of the great 
0 tests and reports made from the sample lots 
Q sent out this year. Don’t fail to get a start 
g while you have this opportunity, as long as 
0 the sample lot costs you nothing and we will 
S buy all you have at a big price if you will sell 
g them. This sample lot if given proper care 
0 and our instructions followed should produce 
at least 100 lbs. of the handsomest Potatoes 
Jj ever grown. 
jj Everybody wants a good Early Potato and 
5 this is your chance. 
| HOW TO GET THIS GREAT EARLY POTATO FREE 
ft For the purpose of getting this new Early Potato 
tested everywhere this year, a year in advance of it 7 s 
general introduction, we will send TEN EYES care¬ 
fully packed in a box with full cultural directions. Free 
to every person ordering one of our Strawberry Seed 
Collections, as offered in the next column on this page. 
They can be had no other way at any price this year. 
Here is something that will interest every person, no matter whether they live in the city 
or in the country ; the A\ onderful New Everbearing Strawberry. It grows freely 
from seed and will fruit the first summer. The seed can be sown early in the spring in the 
house or hot bed or later in the open ground in a seed bed in the garden and in a short time 
the young plants appear. The young plants grow very fast and in a short time should be 
transplanted in a bed in the garden, and if started early in the house or hot bed will com¬ 
mence to bloom by the first of July, and in from two to three weeks will begin to bear ripe 
fruit. From the time the first ripe fruit appears they continue to produce ripe fruit until 
as late as October. The berries are not quite so large as the garden varieties but they are 
much higher flavored and we think our customers will say they are far superior in quality. 
The berries are various colors ; red, white and black and a few of them will perfume a whole 
room so great is their delicate fragrance. 
They are enormous yielders, single plants having produced over half a pint of berries at 
one picking in October. They are a beautiful sight when growing, are very hardy and will 
grow anywhere easily from seed. People in the city or others can grow this berry in pots in 
the house and it will even fruit in the winter. 
Think of it! Did you ever hear of growing Strawberries from seed and have fruit the first 
year? Could you desire a greater novelty? They are as easily grown as pansies or sweet 
peas and you can have the fruit all summer. 
We have been very fortunate in securing a choice lot of seed of this Great Strawberry 
Novelty especially to offer in our Strawberry Seed Collection. Price of seed per pkt. 25c.
