The Freeman Potato. 
No other potato since the Introduction of tliv Early 
Hose has caused half as much sensation as the Free¬ 
man Potato; and where there are to-day hundreds 
extolling the Freeman sis “the best of allthis time 
next year there will be many thousands. 
TheFreman Potato Is unquestionably the strongest 
grower ever seen, and has already shown such unus¬ 
ual development both in early ripening quulity ana 
enormous productiveness that no praise is too gr< at 
f ir It. They are very handsome, perfectly smooth, 
eyes even with the surface, oval in shape, russifc in 
c )lnr, ilesh very white, line grained and of the VFK« 
PEST II a vo r. Amo a g their greatest merits is their 
EXTREME EAR LI NESS and LONG-K KEP1N (l qual¬ 
ities. From the time they are as large as hens eggs, 
until new potatoes come In next year, they burst oj en 
when boiled with their jackets on snow-wlmo and 
floury. Planted .Time 1st. they were fit to use July 
18th. THIRTY NINE DAYS FROM PLANTING. 
The Freeman Is certainly the greatest of all potatoes: 
and I am.able to offer It at prices wit .in the reach or 
all. and hope every one will give It a trial this season.

A FEW TESTIMONIALS. 
Mi inn. Cedar Co.. Ia. Oct. 12. Mr. A. T. Cook. Dear 
Sir:--I received 100 potato eyea from you last spring ana 
grew from them 376 pounds bushels.) They arc the 
best in quality, and the nicest, smoothest potatoes 1 ever 
saw. Yours truly, John O. Mason. 
Mr. T. B. Terry, the most noted potato grower in Amer¬ 
ica, has cut all his seed j>otatoes to one eye for more than 
20 years: lie will plant nothing but Freemans. He says:— 
“We planted the Freeman on good ground, but no ma¬ 
nure or fertilizer of any kind was used. The growl h was 
wonderful; the hills bulged up like half a pumpkin, the * 
potables were large, 20 filled alialf bushel basket. They j 
have but few eyes, are almost perfect in shape, smooth J 
and nice; their eating quality is perfect, and either baked 5 
or boiled, are as good as any one could ask for. It is a J 
wonderful potato.” 2 
Mr.. T. Greiner, (Joseph.) the well known agricultural * 
writer says:— I do not remember ever having seen a lot ^ 
of tubers equalling the Freeman in color, size, shape and * 
in beauty. The growth was so early and wonderfully j 
strong, in pleasing and favorable contrast with any of j 
the «) or 60 varieties in the lot. The yield was tar larger 1 
than that of any other early sort.

in love with them. They — ~ —-. , 
I ever saw. in form about perfect, and In quality equal to 
any I ever tasted. 
Mr. H. Stewart, Highlands. N. C. writes ;-Tlie Freeman 
yielded &t the rate of 100 bushels per acre. They are 
smooth, and handsome, and excellent quality. 
I have received only the most favorable reports 
from all sections, from sending potato eyes. It Is 
much the best aud cheapest way to obtain new vari¬ 
eties. I cut the eyes from large potatoes, leaving a 
good sized piece of potato with each eye, one eye be¬ 
ing sufficient for a large bill. 1 send them carefully 
boxed, and postpaid:—with full directions for plant¬ 
ing and cultivating to best advantage to secure a 
large yield. 2-9T- All eyes warranted to reach you In 
good condition for growing. Orders booked as re¬ 
ceived, find sent soon as the weather will admit; or. 
dersfrom the South, sent any time requested. 
NOTE—should any prefer whole Potatoes, I 
will send20 nice tubers of the Freeman forli.oo, 
and a proportionate number for larger orders.
