Large Sweet Cheese 
(Sunnybrook Strain) 
PEPPER, Simon’s 
Jersey Giant. —This is 
the earliest of all large 
Peppers, almost as large 
as Chinese Giant and 
three weeks earlier; plant 
of dwarf branching hab¬ 
it, bearing 12 to 15 fruit 
of a deep green color, 
turning to brilliant red, 
flesh thick and of mild 
flavor. 
Pkt., lOc.; os., 35c.; 
K lb., $1.00; lb., 
$3.50. 
Large Sweet Cheese 
(Sunnybrook Strain). 
—The fruits measure 
2H to 3 inches in di¬ 
ameter and they are 2 
inches deep from stem to 
blossom-end. The skin 
is smooth and of a 
glossy deep scarlet color. 
The flesh is thick and 
sweet. It is very pro¬ 
lific and is quite piopular 
as a canning variety. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; 
M lb., 85c.; lb., 
$3.00. 
Simon’s Worldbeater (Special Stock). —This is, without doubt, 
the finest large pepper yet introduced. It is a cross between Chinese 
Giant and Ruby King, fully as early as Ruby King and similar in 
shape, but broader at blossom end, almost the size of Chinese Giant 
and far more prolific, some plants producing as many as twenty-four 
marketable peppers, exceptionally mild, can be eaten raw without fear 
of burning. Color of fruit green at first, turning to a beautiful shade of 
scarlet. Flesh thick, which enables it to hold up a long time and 
makes it an excellent shipper. For illustration from a photograph, 
see cut opposite. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; % lb., 85c.; lb., $3.00; 10 lbs., $27.50.

SEED POTATOES 
Postage extra. Consult “Postal Directions” on Inside front cover. 
German, Kartoffeln. French, Pomme de Terre. Italian, Patata. Spanish, Patatas. 
A sack of potatoes contains 150 pounds. One bushel weighs 60 pounds. Eight to ten bushels will plant one acre. 
Cultural Directions. —A good, sandy loam produces the best Potatoes, but they can be grown on all kinds of soil. ^ New or pMture 
land, with the turf freshly turned, produces the finest crop. Make furrows of good depth, 3 feet apart. Scatter a liberal dressing of 
phosphate or decayed stable manure along the drill, and set the seed about 10 inches apart in the rows. Cover with about 2 inches of soil, 
and begin to cultivate when the plants are well up. At each successive hoeing, bring additional soil about the plants. 
Dlbble^s Russet. —A productive late variety of recent introduc¬ 
tion that is destined to become very popular. The tubers are round, 
plump, immune to rust and blight, of a beautiful russet color, and 
of excellent quality. 
Green Mountain, or Improved State of Maine. —A medium 
late, large, handsome oval white potato. A prolific yielder, and 
always of fine eating quality. Is not susceptible to disease, and is 
gradually becoming the standard white potato for late planting. 
Jersey Red Skin. —This potato is not planted in the early spring. 
It will do well in most any soil, though light soil is preferable. Since 
this variety sets abundantly it requires plenty of plant food to produce 
potatoes of good size. Plantings are made of this variety from July 
until August. They are good keepers and are most excellent for table 
purposes, especially in the late winter and early spring. 
Irish Cobbler. —Pure white color and of excellent quality. A 
vigorous grower, early, ripens uniformly, and keeps well. Round 
in shape. 
Katahdin. —This new origination by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture is not so well known in the East, but for the last two 
years large acreages have been grown in the Middle West, with great 
success. Katahdin is white, rather shallow-eyed, oval and yet 
somewhat flat in shape. The vine is very vigorous, with dark green 
foliage resistant to mild forms of mosaic. It produces a high per¬ 
centage of No. 1 Potatoes, as reported from difl’erent states where it 
has been tested, and the keeping qualities of the tubers have proved 
to be very good. In time it will be a rival to the well-known Green 
Mountain. 
Spaulding Rose No. 4. —Medium early, flat, with pink skin. 
Very prolific and excellent quality. Good keeper. 
Price on all varieties, ^ pk., 35c.; 1 pk., 60c.; bu., $1.05; 1 bu., $2.00; 1 sack (150 pounds), $4.50.
