Potatoes — Continued 
Spaulding Rose. Large, oval, pink skin. This takes the place 
of the old Early Rose and is a much better yielding variety. 
Gold Coin. Large, oval, cream white, second early and good 
for main crop. 
Green Mountain. Vines strong and vigorous; tubers white, 
smooth and medium large. It is important that the seed is not 
only certified, but from a good, high-yielding strain and from 
fields with least possible disease affected plants. Will have a 
supply of such certified seed stock of this staple variety. Please 
write for market prices. 
Rural Russet. A vigorous, healthy variety, remarkably re¬ 
sistant to blight and one of the heaviest croppers. The potatoes, 
which have a slightly russet skin, are white, somewhat flattened, 
with shallow eyes. Cooking quality excellent. 
Note. The Irish Cobbler for early and Green Mountain for 
late crop are now more extensively used than any other sorts. 
Consequently have received more attention in building up high- 
yielding quality strains. We can recommend them strongly.

Rettig — Rabanos—Ravanello 
Sow early varieties in the spring as early as the ground can be worked, in drills ten inches apart, 
covering the seed half an inch deep; thin the plants to an inch apart in the row, as they are more 
tender and succulent when grown quickly. A rich, moist, sandy soil should be selected, and frequently 
watered in dry weather. For a succession, sow every two weeks until midsummer. 
Saxa Extra Early. Special strain for under glass. The earliest forcing sort; ready in eighteen to 
twenty days. Bright red, globe-shaped, small leaved; select stock. Does well outside for very early 
planting. Per pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; 54 _ lb., 25c.; lb., 75c.
