Potatoes—Continued 
Spaulding Rose. Large, oval, pink skin. This takes the place 
of the old Early Rose and is a much better yielding variety. 
Chippewa. An attractive potato, smooth, slightly flattened oval 
with shallow eyes, similar in appearance to Green Mountain, 
but earlier. Cooks very white and is good quality. Many grow- 
ers are increasing their acreage on this, for it is profitable and 
sells readily after the main digging of cobblers. 
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. Wiull have a 
supply of such certified seed stock of this staple variety. Please 
write for market prices. 
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.

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., 20c.; %4-lb., 40c.; Ib., $1.25.
