VEGETABLE SEEDS 
POTATOES — continued 
OHIO JUNIOR 
This variety, while not of recent introduction, is 
the earliest Potato cultivated. There are many 
new varieties offered annually which are claimed 
by their introducers to be earlier than the Ohio, 
but when tested under the same conditions, inva¬ 
riably prove to be seven to ten days later. The 
tubers are oblong-oval, round at the seed end, with 
full eyes that are almost even with the surface. 
An excellent keeper, very productive, of fine qual¬ 
ity, and has proved to be a most valuable addition 
to our list of extra early varieties. Pound, 25 
cents; three lbs., 60 cents; prepaid. Peck, 60 
cents; bushel $1.75; barrel, $4.25; by express or 
freight, not prepaid. 
SIR WALTER RALEIGH 
Every one is familiar with the Rural New 
Yorker, and how its popularity has grown until it 
has become the favorite variety with farmers and 
growers in almost every State in the Union. Sir 
Walter Raleigh is a seedling from this popular 
variety, and in our estimation is superior to it 
both in yield and cooking qualities. Local grow¬ 
ers who have grown it largely for market the past 
two years are high in its praise, and have discarded 
the Rural New Yorker entirely. The price is so 
low we hope every farmer who wishes a first-class 
Potato will give the Sir Walter Raleigh a trial.

Peck, 50 cents; bushel, $1.50; barrel, $3.75; by 
express or freight, not prepaid. 
CARMEN No. 3 
Late. Resembles Carman No. 1, except that 
the tubers are not quite as elongated ; eyes shallow 
and few in number. Tubers very close to plant, 
and average a pound each. Perfect keeper. Skin 
and flesh of extreme whiteness. Foliage heavy, 
strong and vigorous. Pound,25 cents; three lbs., 
60 cents; prepaid. Peck, 50 cents; bushel, $1.50;

THE WHITE BEAUTY 
The best for form, size,quality, and yield. The 
best all around general crop Potato ever offered. 
As a rule, potatoes of extra fine cooking qualities 
are very poor yielders, or do not obtain the size 
required for good market potatoes; but in thisnew 
variety we have all the strong points of a first-class 
potato. It resembles the old favorite White Star 
in habit of growth and season, while in quality it 
is much superior. Vine strong and upright ; eyes 
but slightly indented; skin white and heavily 
russeted ; never affected by blight. Pound, 25 
cents; three pounds, 60 cents; prepaid. Peck, 
50 cents ; bushel, $1.60 ; barrel, $4.00 ; by express 
or freight, not paid.
