Potatoes—cContinued 
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. Will have a 
supply of such certified seed stock of this staple variety. Please 
write for market prices. 
Katahdin. A late variety developed by U. S. Department of 
Agriculture in Maine. Produces a smooth tuber of excellent 
shape, fine quality and high percentage of No. 1 Potatoes. About 
the same season as Green Mountain and suitable for storage. 
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.

Radish 
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. Failed.
