THREE GRAND MAIN CROP POTATOES.—For description see next page. 
It does not pay to plant poor mixed seed potatoes, grown on blight-infested fields. Such seed never can give 
the best results, no matter how favorable the circumstances. 
It pays to plant good seed of the best varieties, even if such seed costs four times as much. We speak 
from our own experience. We have often seen a difference in yield of 100 to 150 bushels per acre between some of 
the best new varieties and the varieties commonly grown. The seed of the new varieties costs, perhaps, $4.00 per acre 
more than the other, and the value of the crop was $35 to §50 per acre more. The older varieties yielded well once, but 
had become infested with the germ of the blight and lost their vigor. 
Why not raise 3 °° bushels per acre instead of the usual 150 bushels? It can be just as easily done if the 
best varieties are used. They will cost but little more. 
Our Seed Potatoes are stored in dark, cool cellars and in pits, and keep without shrinking or sprouting, so that 
when planted they have all their vigor unimpaired. 
Prices. —At the prices quoted we pack and deliver the potatoes to freight depot in Rochester, and make no 
charge for boxes or barrels, but we do not pay freight charges. Our barrels hold three bushels each.

EARLY HARVEST. 
The Earliest , Largest and Handsomest White Potato. 
The Early Harvest has proved to be not only very early but of remark¬ 
able vigor and capable of yielding extremely large crops. The potatoes 
are pure white, with numerous eyes, and grow to a very lanje size for an 
early variety. We think this variety will produce more and better potatoes 
than any other early white potato, and, with the possible exception of the 
“ Early May.” than any early potato of any color. We offer these potatoes 
at a price that leave no excuse for planting ordinary seed of Inferior 
varieties. Pk. 40c.. bu. $1.00, bbl. $2,50. 
The Earliest Potato-" EARLY MAY." 
This new early potato was a surprise to us. It was planted later than 
any other variety on the farm but got ripe lendayb earlier than the other 
varieties hitherto considered the earliest potatoes. But what is more 
remarkable, it yielded over 250 InusheU per acre, while many other varieties 
blighted and proved nearly a failure. 
The potatoes are light rose color, smooth, with shallow eyes and very 
handsome, and are of very uniform size and shape. (See Cut.) The 
vines are vigorous and healthy. The quality of the potato Is of the 
last. This will prove a very profitable market variety, being two weeks 
earlier than Earfy Rose, Hebron and other early varieties. Don’t fall to 
plant it. % pk. 50c, pk. 75c., bu. $2.00, bbl. $5.00.
