POTATOES 
Grown Expressly for Seed in Maine or 
Prince Edward Island 
Peck will plant 100 foot row. Ten bushels cut 
tubers will plant one acre 
The Potato can be grown with varying suc¬ 
cess on soils of all kinds and in all conditions 
of fertility, but the soil best suited to it is a 
sandy loam. Manure is applied either in rows 
or hills, or broadcast over the hills and 
ploughed in. In highly enriched soils the 
plants are more liable to disease than when 
grown in soil that is naturally good. Plant as 
early in Spring as the ground can be had 
in fair working order, in hills or ridges, about 
3 feet apart, cover lightly with soil about 
4 inches deep. 
Beauty of Hebron. Slightly flesh colored 
skin with pure white flesh; very produc¬ 
tive and of the finest quality. 
Bovee. Extra early; fine quality; flesh white. 
Dibble’s Russet. This is the best main crop 
Potato in cultivation. The tubers are 
round to oblong in shape, of good size, 
with white flesh and covered with russet 
skin. The quality when cooked cannot be 
excelled. It also has great disease-resistant 
and blight-proof properties. 
Early Rose or Spaulding Rose. Very early; 
fine quality; very productive, skin shaded 
rose color. 
Green Mountain. Oval shape; white skin 
and flesh; heavy yielder and good for 
Winter use. 
Irish Cobbler. One of the best extra early 
varieties. 
Katahdin. A cross between Green Moun¬ 
tain and Irish Cobbler. Matures about a 
week later than the Cobbler variety. Eyes 
very shallow and the fact that it matures 
earlier than Green Mountain makes it a 
most desirable variety.

in January or February in hotbeds, keeping 
well ventilated. In May they may be sown
