RICE’S CELEBRATED

Northern Grown Seeds

FOR 1916

RICE’S SEEDS ARE STANDARD GOODS, well
and favorably known. We do not pretend to compete in
price with unreliable or careless growers or dealers, as poor
seeds are dear at any price ; but we are equipped to produce
strictly high grade seeds at moderate cost ; we handle nothing
which we do not believe to be the best, and intend that our
prices shall be as low as is consistent with this quality.

Prices in this list are subject to change without notice.

Barrels, boxes and bags are charged extra at value.

10-lb. lots will be invoiced at 100-lb. prices.

TERMS : Net cash June 1st, 1916 without regard to
date of purchase, or a discount of one per cent per month
will be allowed if paid before that date. Cash or satisfactory
reference must accompany orders from unknown corres-
pondents.

We give no warranty, express or implied as to descrip-
tion, quality, productiveness or any other matter connected
with the goods we send out, and we will not be in any way
responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept
the goods on these terms they are at once to be returned.

Jerome B. Rice Seed Co.

SPECIAL NOTICE

For the first time in our experience we are
this year listing Peas, Beans and Corn by the
pound instead of by the bushel. The reason
for this is the honest difference of opinion
as to just what constitutes a bushel.

Wrinkled peas generally weigh about 56
and smooth varieties 60 pounds per bushel.
Beans vary from 54 to 60, while sweet corn
varies all the way from 42 to 52. In recent
years there has been much State Legislation
on the subject with the result that some
states now require all seeds to be sold by the
pound. Some name one weight for a bushel
and some another, thus adding to the confu-
sion until it is difficult for either buyer or
seller to know what to expect for a bushel.

We believe the simple and complete rem=
edy is to buy and sell everything by the
pound and, while it will be a little awkward
to all of us at first, we will soon become
accustomed to think in pounds instead of
bushels and will know exactly what quantity
we are thinking about.

Extra Early Varieties. PER BBL. OF

Acme. Similar to Early Ohio in every respect except
that it has red skin, and grows larger tubers ; fully

as early, and a heavier yielder $4 75

Burpee’s Extra Early. One week earlier than Early
Rose, and nearly twice as productive. Potatoes
are good size, very smooth, skin creamy white,
shaded with pink. The flesh is pure white, pos-
sessing the very best table qualities. A sure

cropper 4 75

Cambridge Early Rose. Now we offer you a new
Early Rose named after our own beautiful town.

It is earlier and the tubers larger than the old and
popular Early Rose, and under ordinary field cul-
ture will yield 250 to 300 bushels to the acre. We
know you will be more than satisfied if you give

this fine new sort a trial 4 75

Clark’s No. 1. Earlier than the Early Rose, and will
yield a heavier crop. It bears a close resemblance
to Early Rose in appearance. It cooks mealy, is
of excellent flavor, and is every way a capital
variety for either the farmer or market gardener.

Four hundred and fifty bushels have been raised

on an acre 4 50

Early Beauty Of Hebron. Very rapid and vigorous
grower, ripening a week ahead of Early Rose,
which it resembles, but far exceeds in productive-
ness * $4 75

Early Maine. Introduced by J. J. H. Gregory, of
Marblehead, Mass. Earlier than the Early Rose,
a better cropper and of the finest quality. Mr.
Gregory says in his recommendations of this new
sort: 4 ‘ It is high time it was sent abroad.” Largely

grown in Maine for the Boston market

Early Norther. A seedling raised from a seed-ball
of the Early Rose. In shape, color and season
of ripening it very closely resembles the Early
Rose, but in yield is more prolific. It is likely to

become as popular as the New Queen

Early Ohio. Now widely known and deservedly one
of the most popular sorts. It has the advantage
of being fit for use and sale even before fully ripe.
A few days earlier than the Early Rose, and similar
in color and habit of growth. Quality dry and

mealy

Early Rose, Our stock of this popular variety is in
its original purity, having renewed our planting
stock annually for several years past from Houl-
ton, Maine, where it is very popular, and about

the only variety planted for market

Early Six Weeks. Undoubtedly the earliest potato
grown ; similar to Early Ohio in every respect,
but claimed by the originator to be earlier than

this standard, well-known sort

Early Sunrise. The great claims for this potato are
its extreme earliness, and at the same time great
productiveness. Has produced potatoes fit for
the table eight weeks from the time of planting.

Always a favorite

Henderson’s Early Bovee. A new variety of the
llebron type which proves to be one of the earliest
and also one of the most productive early sorts. ..
Irish Cobbler. A new variety which becomes popu-
lar wherever tried on account of its earliness, hand-
some appearance and excellent quality. Tubers
are round and smooth skin, creamy white and
often netted ; flesh white. We do not hesitate to

recommend this variety

Maule’s Early Thoroughbred. Handsome appear-
ance, superb in quality and an enormous yielder;
in fact all who have tried it consider it a perfect

potato

New Queen. Of superb quality, good size, a rank
grower and take it all in all, we consider it a most
desirable early potato. There are certain sections
where potatoes of the Hebron type seem to do
better than those of any other kind. Wherever
the old Early Hebron made a good record when
first grown, there the New Queen will give the
best of satisfaction
