IRISH POTATOES 
IRISH COBBLER—Virginia Grown, Selected; Maine Grown, 
Selected. 
SPAULDING NO. 4 ROSE—A strain of the Early Rose, but 
has a smoother skin and is of much better table quality, a 
better yielder, and keeps well. Virginia grown. 
RED BLISS TRIUMPH—While not as generally grown as 
formerly, this Potato is still a favorite with some growers. 
It is probably the earliest variety. It is very hardy; a strong 
grower and a fine yielder. Grows to a good size and has a 
smooth pink skin. Price on application. 
D. & B.’S SNOW—This Potato is somewhat like the Green 
Mountain and matures at about the same time. It may be 
used as a second early or late crop Potato. It yields abun¬ 
dantly of large pure white Potatoes of unexcelled table quali¬ 
ties, and is also a splendid keeping Potato. Recommended 
only for late planting. Ask for price in season. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN—A well-known, large, handsome, pure 
white Potato, for main or late crop; a prolific yielder and 
invariably of fine table quality, cooking dry and mealy. A 
standard variety for late crop; matures about 2 weeks later 
than the Irish Cobbler. Ask for price in season. 
IMPROVED PEACH BLOW—This well-known variety is the 
hardiest, largest yielding and best keeping variety of any 
Potato grown in this section. They should not be planted 
before June 15th. Ask for price in season. 
COLD-STORAGE POTATOES—We will have a nice stock 
of the leading varieties kept in cold storage for late planting 
from June to August. Ask for prices in season. 
SWEET POTATOES 
PRICES ON APPLICATION 
CULTURE—These should be planted in hotbeds in April 
and kept well watered. As soon as the plants are ready and 
danger of frost is past in May or June they should be trans¬ 
planted to rows 3 feet apart, setting the plants 16 inches apart 
in the row. 
Seed Sweet Potatoes are very perishable, and will not keep 
long after being taken out of storage, especially in damp or 
rainy weather. For this reason we cannot carry them in stock 
for any length of time, but get them in from day to day. We 
ship only good, sound Potatoes, in firm condition, but we can¬ 
not guarantee safe arrival of anything so perishable, though 
we are very careful in packing and shipping them. 
PORTO RICO, OR CUBAN YAM—This Potato has been 
grown extensively in the South for many years, and was in¬ 
troduced by us into this section some years ago. It has 
golden yellow flesh with pinkish skin, and is the largest 
yielding potato we know of. It is also by far the best keep¬ 
ing potato known. 
HANOVER YELLOW—The leading Yellow Potato in Han¬ 
over County, which is noted for its excellent Sweet Potatoes. 
It has a rich yellow color and cooks dry and sweet. 
PUMPKIN YAM, OR NANCY HALL—Has yellow flesh, 
hence, its name Pumpkin Yam. It cooks soft, juicy and 
sweet, yields well and keeps well.

TOBACCO 
CULTURE—Sow in February and March in a 
rich and perfectly clean bed, from which all seeds 
and insects have been destroyed by burning. Pro¬ 
tect from flies with plant bed cloth and trans¬ 
plant about June to highly fertilized soil, 3Vs to 
4 feet each way. Cultivate thoroughly and guard 
well against suckers and worms. 
Price of all Varieties: Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; lb. 
$1.25, postpaid. 
SWEET, OR LITTLE ORONOKO—This is a 
very superior Oronoko Tobacco ; the leaf is long, 
with a good breadth ; has a small stem and very 
fine texture; used for first-class plug fillers, and 
makes, when sun-cured, the best natural chewing 
leaf on account of its sweetness. It is a general 
favorite for the ‘‘Home-Spun” wherever known, 
especially liked by some for its earliness and 
ability to stand upon the hill for some time with¬ 
out becoming over-ripe. In all respects an ideal 
manufacturing tobacco. 
BIG ORONOKO—The leaf is large, broad, of 
handsome appearance, cures well and possesses a 
great deal of weight and body. For strips and 
dark wrappers it has no superior. 
LIZARD TAIL ORONOKO—This is said to be 
the heaviest of the Oronokos. It has a large num¬ 
ber of leaves to the plant which are of good width 
and length. It is a hardy grower and of good 
quality, is best adapted to rich clay or dark loam 
soils. Is quite popular in the dark-fired district 
for producing wrappers of that type and probably 
has no superior for that purpose.
