SEED POTATOES 
NORTHERN-GROWN CERTIFIED SEED 
For many years we have made a specialty of supplying our trade with 
northern-grown Seed Potatoes. Our stock is especially grown for seed, by 
experienced growers in the cold North and Northwest, and is Certified Stock, 
U. S. Standard No. 1, high quality, true to type and free from disease. Seed 
Potatoes that are northern-grown, moved south only from 100 to 300 miles, 
frequently produce double the crop of home-grown seed. 
We begin shipping Seed Potatoes as early in the spring as weather condi- 
tions will permit, usually the latter part of March. However, we urge our 
customers to place their orders early, while our stock of all varieties is com- 
plete. Owing to the perishable nature of Seed Potatoes the market is subject 
to radical changes, and it is impossible for us to quote prices at the time our 
Catalogue goes to press. Price-list sent on request.

EARLY VARIETIES 
WARBA. A comparatively new variety. Earlier than Cobbler, a heavy yielder 
and disease-resistant. Has smooth white skin and pink eye. Very desirable for 
the home-garden. 
SPAULDING’S EARLY ROSE. (Certified.) A seedling of the Early Rose, with 
pink skin, pure white flesh, much stronger foliage and a better Potato than the 
Early Rose in every way. 
EARLY OHIO. (Certified.) A sort that is well known by market-gardeners who 
are after a first-early Potato for home trade; the tubers are almost round, with 
pink skin and of excellent quality. 
IRISH COBBLER. (Certified.) An extra-early, round, white Potato. Vines 
yield heavily and the tubers are of extremely fine quality. An excellent all- 
round variety, either for the home-garden or growing commercially. About a 
week to ten days later than Early Ohio, but usually much more productive. 
CHIPPEWA. (Certified.) About 10 days later than Irish Cobbler but superior 
' in smoothness and whiteness. In tests it has outyielded Cobblers on both muck 
and upland soils. 
LATE VARIETIES 
KATAHDIN. (Certified.) A handsome, shallow-eyed, glossy, white-skinned 
variety, originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, which matures a 
little later than Green Mountain, but earlier than the Rurals. It has very few 
tubers of unmarketable size and has all varieties beaten in uniformity of shape, 
size, and in general appearance. It does well on light, friable soil, but is not 
adapted to heavy soil subject to drought conditions. 

—E— 
RUSSET. (Certified.) An exceptionally heavy yielder. Table quality of the very 
best, with smooth, velvety, russet skin and shallow eyes. It is very fine-grained, 
| cooks as white as flour, and is of splendid flavor; an excellent keeper and re- 
| tains its good eating qualities until late in the spring. It is one of the hardiest 
varieties known. Its great productiveness, handsome color and resistance to 
diseases make it a very popular Potato and one especially suited to our locality. 
CARMAN No. 3. (Certified.) Extra large, oblong, slightly flat, white. Vines are 
extra-good growers and yield an immense quantity of tubers of uniform size. 
One of the best late varieties; of excellent quality; good keeper. 
IMPROVED GREEN MOUNTAIN. (Certified.) In the Improved Green 
Mountain we have a better Potato than was the old Green Mountain at its 
best. The tubers are uniform in shape, oblong, with two good ends, slightly 
flattened, creamy white skin, and pure white flesh of excellent quality. 
SEBAGO. A high-yielding, smooth, white, shallow-eyed variety and of high 
table quality. Especially desirable where blight occurs frequently or where 
spraying is omitted. Very late.
