Northern Grown Pure Strain Brand Seed Potatoes 
The best and most popular varieties now in cultivation, not certified, 
but produced from the most disease-free strains, making them much 
more vigorous and healthy than ordinary seed potatoes and usually equal 
to certified seed. From planting to shipping our potatoes are under our 
personal supervision. The quantity of good seed potatoes is smaller this 
season and we believe will cost more at planting time. The wise man 
will order early. A 25% deposit will hold your order.
