137 JOHN A. SALZER SEED CO.'S CATALOGUE OF PLANTS AND SEEDS, LA CROSSE, WIS, POTATO COLLECTIONS. Our object in g^rouping a number of Potato sorts, each carefully and separately packed and labeled, in barrel collections, is to enable our gardener and farmer friends, at a low price, to THOROUGHLY TG5T a number of our sterling: sorts. After planting and harvesting one or more of our Potato collections our customers are in a position, from practical knowledge, to judge which sort or sorts ARE BEST ADAPTED TO THEIR SOIL, climate and market. This is of great value, for if, by buying a collection, you get a sort which increases the yield only lOO bushels per acre, it will have paid the cost of the collection many a time. .^a^^^^^^^^m^^^i^^^^^^^^^^g^ . The Great World-Beater Collection for $3.75. 1« King of the Earliest. It is only necessary to refer you to page 131, which will tell you that this is the earliest Potato on the globe. We have introduced this in our World- Beater Collection. It is a marvel. Price: Pk., by freight, §1.50; )4 bu., 82.50; bu., $4.00; bbl., $7.60; 3 bbls.,«20.00 2. Salzer's Earliest* Up to date this is the earliest Potato for general crops known. It is a marvel in beauty and earliness. Pages 131 and 132 will tell you all about it. Price: Pkg., 60c.; bu., «2.00; bbl., S3.75; 3 bbls., S10.50. 3. New Early Wisconsin Potato. Style oblong to long, though at times it runs more to oblong than long; color pinkish pale to white; quality unex- celled. Our stock of this variety is not very large this year. Not only has everybody who has tested same pro- nounced it the peer of all early Potatoes, but that great authority, the Rural New Yorker^ in March, 1892, headed the list of the new varieties which were tested on the trial grounds of the Rural New Yorker with Early Wisconsin, and reported the re* markable yield of 736 bushels and « pounds to the acre. We are proud to say that this Potato fully sustained all claims made by us as the most pro- ductive early Potato ever introduced. It's a Potato that stands—as did Saul among the Children of Israel—head and shoulders above all other Pota- toes. It*s a wonderful Potato—a great beauty, a great cropper, a great seller and a splendid eater. It is as Chas. Zimmerman, Union City, Mifch., says: *'l sent east for a bushel oi Potatoes and to you for Early Wisconsin. When they came I cooked some of both; those from the East were so poor I fed them to the cows; yours were magnificent- want no better." Price: Lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., Sl.OO, postpaid; by freight, pk., 60c.; bu., 11.50; bbl, f3.50. 4. Champion of the World. The greatest Potato on earth for a big crop. That's John A. Salzer Seed Co.'s guarantee. Nothing in America or Europe like it. We know it! Think of 1,687 bushels from one acre in 1896! It will go 2,000 bushels in 1897, and every Potato fit for a king. Splendid quality. For full description see pages 135 and 136. Price: Lb., 35c.: 3 lbs., «1.00, postpaid; by fireight, pk., 60c.; 3^ bu., «1.00; bu., «1,50; bbl., 553.50. THE GREAT WORLD-BEATER COLLECTION, ONLY $3.fS A BARREL. We have never before offered a collection so i-emarkable in its make-up, at so low a price, and we only do same in order to introduce our Potatoes everywhere, because where our Potatoes are once planted we have forever a permanent customer, from the fact that our Potatoes double and treble your yields. Think of itl Only ^3.75 a barrel. Dirt cheap, you say, and wonder how we can do so. Phis great collection is made up as follows:
