SEED POTATOES 
Vick’s Seed Potatoes are grown for Seed purposes only. While part 
of the season was favorable to root growth, the long, dry spell interfered 
with its thorough development; but notwithstanding, our prices are 
lower than last year. 
Vick’s Seed Potatoes are in every way as represented; 
just as they appeared on our trial grounds last summer, and 
we are sure that under ordinary care and cultivation they 
will give the best of returns. 
Good Stock of anything is always scarce. Buj 
your Seed Potatoes early. 
We always ship Potatoes and other heavy 
goods by Freight, excepting when ordered 
sent by Express, or when the quantity is 
such that to send by Express is cheaper. 
Many people order small quantities, like a 
peck, to go by freight, thinking the charges 
will be less. This is seldom the case as the 
railroad companies make no rate for less than 
loo pounds; therefore, the freight on a bushel 
is just as cheap as on a peck. Packed for ship¬ 
ment, Potatoes weigh about: Peck, 20 pounds; 
half bushel,40 pounds; bushel, 70 pounds; barrel, 
185 pounds. Please state whether you want the 
potatoes by freight or express, and do not fail to 
name the station to which they are to be sent 
VICKTOR Extra Early 
I his Potato, introduced by us in 1903, has become a permanent favor¬ 
ite with all who have given it a trial. It is the earliest and best white \ 
potato grown. The plants are of strong healthy growth, producing tubers 
compactly. Tubers large, of uniform size, roundish and slightly flattened; skin 
white somewhat russeted. Either baked or boiled the flesh is dry and mealy 
Its extremely early ripening secures it from blight, and assures a large crop 
of sound tubers, which keep as well as the late varieties. Pound, 25 cents; 
three pounds, 6ocents ; by mail or express, prepaid. Peck, 75 cents ; 
bushel, $2.00; barrel $5.00; by express or freight, not prepaid. 
The WHite Ohio. 
A beautiful, extra 
. early White Potato; 
introduced by us in 1896 and a few years later lost owing to a poor season 
and failure of the crop. Three years ago we secured a small quantity from a 
customer who had grown it continuously from the time of introduction. It is 
identical in shape and size with its parent (the Ohio) but the color is a beau¬ 
tiful white, while theparent is rose. In many localities the rose color of the 
Ohio is an objection, many preferring a white potato. White Ohio is a 
beauty ; the tubers are oval, round at seed end, and the eyes almost even 
with the surface; fine quality and good cropper. It is a favorite wherever 
grown. Pound, 25 cents ; three pounds, 60 cents ; by mail or express, 
prepaid. Peck, 75 cents; bushel, $2.00; barrel, $5.00; by express 
or freight, not prepaid.
