POTATOES. 
Uf the many new Potatoes that claim public favor, we select a few of the very best tn cultivation for each 
season, having tested and rejected scores of varieties. 1 he drawings were made from specimens of our own 
growing, and show both the shape and comparative size. At the pound price we prepay postage. At peck, 
bushel and barrel rates the purchaser will pay Freight charges. We have the Potatoes we offer all in store! 
having built frost proof, airy cellars, arranged with bins, so that we can keep them at the proper temperature. At 
prices below we shall sell as long as our stock lasts, no matter what advance there may be. Of sonic varieties, we 
can give special prices for large quantities. Orders will be booked in the order they are received, and shipped in 
the same order. We shall commence shipping just as soon as danger from freezing on the way is over. When so 
•desired, we will pack two or three varieties in one barrel, without extra cost. No Potatoes sent by express unless 
we receive cash with order to prepay express charges. All orders filled directly from our bins. 
Our Gift.—We will give with each barrel of Potatoes ordered from us, one pound of Vick's Extra Early or 
one pound of the Dakota Red. The choice we leave to the purchaser. When two or more barrels are ordered 
Yic will send an equal quantity of each variety. 
EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES. 
Vick’s Extra Early. Having further tested this new 
variety on various soils, and in different locations, the : 
past season, we are firm in the belief that there is no 
earlier Potato in cultivation at the present time. The 
color of the tuber is white, with a russety coating. 
They are perfectly formed, uniform in size, eyes flush 
with the surface, with a very slight indenture. It 
requires high culture, and must be planted on good j 
soil, as both the tubers and tops mature and ripen j 
very rapidly, thus showing that they require an 1 
-abundant supply of nutriment in their growing season, j 
We especially recommend this Potato to market j 
gardeners and others who grow for early market, : 
as it is very attractive in appearance and will sell 
rapidly. Unsurpassed in quality; lb. $i.oo; peck | 
$1.50; bushel $5.00; barrel £10.00.
