MAINE AND NORTHERN MICHIGAN 
GROWN SEED POTATOES 
WRITE FOR OUR PRICE LIST 
All varieties except the Russet and Jersey Red are grown in the State of Maine from selected 
seed, under state inspection, in the counties that are said to be the largest producing counties in 
the country. Seed produced in this climate has bred in it the protection that Nature provides where 
the growing season is short, crowding into it all the vitality needed to withstand the rigors of the 
climate. This seed therefore when planted in more moderate sections will produce sturdy, vigorous 
plants, and earlier and larger yields. It is good business practice for the potato grower to dispose 
of his entire crop and plant only new Northern Crown Seed. 
Cobbler 
IRISH COBBLER. A fine early variety, producing large 
handsome tubers of uniform size and shape. A little 
later than Early Ohio but a heavier yielder. The 
tubers are nearly round in shape with strong, well- 
developed eyes. The flesh is white, cooks dry and 
mealy and of excellent quality; a very good keeper. 
SPALDINC No. 4 ROSE. This vriety was bred out of 
the old popular Early Rose, but is a much better 
Potato in every way, it is shorter, thicker and larger. 
Cooks very dry and mealy and a good keeper. A 
great yielder of tubers that will average large with 
very few small ones. 
IMPROVED EARLY OHIO. Rounded oblong in shape, 
of good size, cooks dry and mealy, of fine flavor, 
a good keeper. Vines are hardy, grow upright and 
the tubers set in a compact clump. 
EARLY ROSE. A great favorite for many years. Pota¬ 
toes are oblong in shape, good size, light pink in 
color, with a thin skin. 
EUREKA EXTRA EARLY. An extremely early and quick 
maturing variety. Tubers are round, white, and of 
unsurpassed quality. 
EARLY SIX WEEKS. Very early, medium to large in 
size, oval shape, reddish color with shallow eyes. 
KATAHDIN. Developed by the U. S. Dept, of Agricul¬ 
ture for resistance to mild mosaic, a virus disease, 
transmitted from one crop to another through tuber 
infection which cannot be controlled by fungicides 
on the foliage or seed treatment. KATAHDIN, under 
observation for the last 12 years, has been found 
highly resistant to this disease, not a plant has been 
found infected with it in the field. The tubers are 
smooth, of elongated round shape with few very 
shallow eyes, retains this desirable shape under 
very adverse soil and climatic conditions. A very 
prolific yielder consistently produces a very high 
percentage of No. 1 potatoes. Its tendency to set 
tubers early is an advantage over other varieties. 
Cooking, eating and keeping qualities are excellent. 
CARMAN No. 3. A round white Potato of the Rural 
type and closely resembling it in yield and quality. 
JERSEY RED. This is a medium late or main crop Potato 
similar in shape to the well known Early Rose with 
numerous shallow eyes. The skin is red, and thin. 
Flesh is snowy white. A heavy yielder, a good keep¬ 
er and cooks dry and mealy. Of unusually fine qual¬ 
ity. A profitable sort for the market gardener and 
a most desirable one for the home garden. 
RURAL NEW YORKER. Always a reliable variety for 
the main crop and a heavy yielder. Tubers are 
round and oval in size, skin white. Good keeper.

for commercial and home use. Vines of vigorous up¬ 
right branching habit with dark green foliage. Tubers

and often 400 bushels when grown under favorable 
conditions. Eating quality equal to the best. It will
