EARLY OHIO 
Although the crop of Early Ohios was 
extremely short this year, we were fortunate 
in securing our stock from one of the more 
reliable growers. Smooth, firm skinned, shal- 
low eyes, with that oblong shape and dull 
red color characteristic of this old favorite.

SEED POTATOES 
From the Black-Land Non-Irrigated Sections of the Dakotas 
To give you better and cheaper seed potatoes for your money we now 
have our own potato buyers operating in the newer and better seed 
potato producing areas. They are men who are familiar with the best 
producing sections and with the best growers in those areas, men who 
go right into the pits and inspect the potatoes before buying them. ~- 
These men are experienced traders in the seed potato business; men 
who can judge the best lots and then buy them at rock bottom prices in 
the fall when the market is lowest. 

PONTIAC 
Pontiac is one of the 
newer potatoes. It is a 
cross between Kohtadin 
and Triumph, and by far 
the best yielder and best 
quality red potato in our 
section. Good for boiling, 
baking or frying. Be sure 
part of your crop this 
season is Pontiac and see 
the extra yield and finer 
quality you get. Our 
supply is limited.
