MONEY MAKER. POTATOES. Good Seed Potatoes are scarce tlits season and prices are liable to advance. The potatoes we offer this season were specially grown for seed in the north of Michigan, at foot of Lake Superior. They are grown on new ground and are entirely free from rot, scab and all disease. They are true to name, clean and smooth; the very best for seed. Potatoes grovvn in this section last season were not successful crops, owing to the dry, unfavorable weather. New seed stock, such as we offer, will this year be more desirable and advantageous to use than ever before. They will ensure earlier and better-sized crops than could be had by using any potatoes grown about here last year. The prices we quote are not really high considering the very fine stock we offer. We recommend that those of our customers who want new seed potatoes send us their orders early, as our stocks are limited and cannot be replenished. We have listed a few varieties. These are the newest and leading sorts of the many kinds of potatoes now claiming: public attention. The prices are liable to variation as the season advances and our stocks be- come exhausted. Of late years great attention has been paid to the im- provement of existing- sorts of potatoes and the introduction of new kinds, but this has been chiefly upon the part of those who are interested in them as an article of sale. There is, however, no more economical investment than the money paid out for improved varieties. Changing your seed will be sure to improve your crop and bring much better quality and heavier yield In this way you will be repaid a hundred fold. The prices at which we have listed our potatoes are reasonable for this season, and we can recommend them as being true to name, northern grown, from carefully selected first-class stocks. Single pounds sent by mail for 30 cents per pound, or 4 pounds for $1.00. Barrels contain 160 lbs. of potatoes, PRICE & KNICKERBOCKER'S EARLY SUNRISE POTATOES. The earliest of all.
