Seed Potatoes 
CULTURE—500 to 600 pounds will plant an acre. Any good, well-drained soil will produce potatoes under right climatic 
conditions and proper cultivation. For early potatoes that mature in 10 to 12 weeks from the time of planting, the soil 
should be particularly rich. A rich clover or alfalfa sod manured and broken the year before and planted to corn or some 
other crop that is cultivated well and often, is in best shape for growing a good crop of nice, clean potatoes. The first 
requisite for a crop of good potatoes is good seed, and the next is good soil—then proper cultivation. Cut the potatoes so 
that each piece will have two or more eyes, then plant in furrows 6 inches deep, 2 y z to 3 feet apart, and 12 to 15 inches 
apart in the row. Cover 3 to 4 inches deep, and about the time the potatoes are ready to come through run a harrow 
over the ground, which will level up the furrows, making asmooth ground upon which to work when the potatoes come 
through and are ready for cultivation. 
BLISS TRIUMPH— Tubers are medium size, round and 
uniform in shape, with but few small ones; eyes 
slightly depressed, color a. beautiful light red. Its 
beauty, productiveness and good qualities in gen¬ 
eral make it one of the best early market varieties. 
BURBANK— A large white potato of excellent qual¬ 
ity. Flesh white, very mealy, and fine flavor. 
Fine for main crop and a splendid keeper. 
EARLY OIIIOS— This is the earliest, surest, best and 
most profitable of the early varieties, and a de¬ 
cided favorite with those growing potatoes for the 
early market, as it can be marketed before it is 
fully grown. Our seed of these is direct from 
Minnesota, freshly assorted and true to name. 
PRICE, NOT POSTPAID: On any variety, lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 25 lbs., $2.00. If wanted by parcel post, add

are strong, well developed and slightly indented. The 
flesh is a creamy white, of fine quality and flavor. It

principal variety raised on the Western Slope for the 
early market.
