ALOE and SUPROR SWEET POTAT 
Discovered and Produced Exclusively by 
Leland farms. 
LEESBURG, GEORGIA 
THE LEELAND BUNCH PORTO RICO VARIETY’ 
To all of our customers and prospective customers: 
When we started growing sweet potatoes several years ago we grew both the Bunch 
Porto Rico and the common running Porto Rico, and found that the Bunch more than 
doubled the yield of the running variety, in addition to having better quality and maturing 
earlier. We discarded the running variety entirely and have grown only the Bunch since 
‘that time. Practically all of our customers obtained similar results and are now growing 
only the Bunch. 
As a result of our annual program of hill selection we now have an even better 
variety—still a strictly Bunch-type variety—with a beautiful golden flesh and a rich 
copper-colored skin. We found one hill of this new variety growing in our seed plot in the 
fall of 1950, and it looked so promising that we multiplied it as fast as we knew how. We 
have given this new variety the name of LEELAND BUNCH. 
To get a comparison of the new LEELAND BUNCH variety with the regular Bunch 
variety we asked our customers who tried both varieties to report their findings. Over 
75% found that the Leeland Bunch out-yielded the regular Bunch in U. S. #1 potatoes; 
about 95% reported that they preferred the Leeland Bunch for better eating quality. In 
addition to these customer reports the Georgia Experiment Station has determined by 
analyses that the carotene (Vitamin A) content is double that of the regular Bunch. 
History has repeated itself and we have discarded a good variety of sweet potato in 
favor of a better one. We want to grow only the best for ourselves and we want to give 
the same opportunity to our customers. 
We are offering certified seed potatoes and plants of our LEELAND BUNCH variety 
for sale to the general public for the first time. Our basic prices for the new variety are 
the same as last year’s prices on the old Bunch variety. The small increase in prices on 
parcel post shipments is to take care of the increased postal rates which are now in 
effect. 
We ship only healthy, mature, stocky plants and pack them with peat moss in 
specially designed and treated containers to insure their arrival in the best possible 
condition. We guarantee our plants to arrive in satisfactory condition and will make 
immediate replacement of plants or refund in the event of loss or damage in transit. 
Because we have the exclusive source of supply of plants of the LEELAND BUNCH 
variety we advise you to place your order at an early date in order to insure delivery at the 
time you want them. 
Our prices on seed potatoes and plants are enclosed, together with an order blank 
and return envelope. 
We appreciate your business and will give your order our best attention.
