THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1916 



Potatoes. 



Culture. — Use 8 to 12 bushels of seed potatoes per acre. Cut to two or three eyes. Plant in rows 3 feet apart, and drop 

 15 to IS inches apart in row. Cultivate constantly and thoroughly. Ridging with loose soil is often practiced, but it is 

 not always necessary. Store in frost-proof cellar in winter. Potatoes are planted both early and late. 



Eureka Extra Early Potato 



The Favorite Extra Early 



None More Quick to Mature 



More Proof Against Drought and Blight 



So Free from Second Growth 



As to its origin and liistory, tlie originator 

 says of it: "Eureka Extra Early was a 

 chance hill fomid growing in a field of 

 Early Morn potatoes, season of 1895. In 

 looking over the field a single plant was 

 noticed distinct from the rest, which died 

 while the others were still green. 



"It has never failed to produce a large 

 crop of extra early potatoes. The plant is 

 dwarf and compact, maturing in advance 

 of the Early Rose and Freeman. It never 

 has had the blight. The tubers are round, 

 slightly flattened. White skin, free from 

 disease. Flesh, white and mealy; no cores 

 or black specks. Quality unsurpassed. 



"One point alone which makes it valu- 

 able is that it has never taken second 

 growth, and resists drought better than any 

 other potato we have ever grown. North, 

 South, East and West, Eureka Extra 

 Early always came ofT with flying colors. 

 We again advise early orders, for while 

 our stock is large, the demand for Eureka 

 is simply astonishing. Lb., 30 cts.; 3 lbs.,
