POTATOE 



German, Kartoffel. 



The soil best suited 

 to the Potato is a 

 rich sandy loam, but 

 it seems to thrive in 

 almost any soil or 

 climate. The potato 

 being a gross feeder, 

 requires a liberal 

 application of ma- 

 nure; if stable ma- 

 nure is to be used, it 

 should be well rot- 

 ted, and not allowed 

 to come in contact 

 with the tubers. On 

 no other crop are the 

 results from the use 

 of phosphates so 

 manifest as on the 

 potato; almost inva- 

 riably the tubers are 

 smoother, brighter 

 and freer from rust 

 and the destructive 

 influence of wire 

 worms. Griffith & 

 Turner Co.'s Plant Food is 

 especially adapted for Potatoes. The best fertili- 

 zers are plaster, lime, super-phosphate of lime 

 and bone dust, for heavy and wet soils especially, as they promote growth and at the same time prevent disease. 

 Plant as early in the spring as the ground can be thoroughly worked, in rows 3 to 4 feet apart and one foot in the 

 rows; covering in light warm soil about 4 inches, and in cold wet ground 3 inches deep; di-aw the earth to the plants 

 as they advance in growth. If an early crop is desired, sprout the tubers, or cut potatoes, in a light, warm ro.om, from 

 four to six weeks before planting, then lift carefully and plant out; fay this process shoots are obtained that, as soon 

 as planted out in the open ground, will send out roots, and grow more rapidly than if treated in the ordinary way. 

 The soil should be constantly stirred through the season to prevent the surface from baking. 



G., T. & CO.'S EXTRA EARI.Y PRI7.K. 



— This new Potato which we tried last year is in all 

 respects a very superior early sort. It proved to be the 

 earliest and most productive of any we tried, also found 

 its eating qualities first-class. We consider it the best 

 early potato on the market to-day.

EARLY NORTHER.-This superb Potato orig- 

 inated at Caribou, Maine. It resembles the Early Rose in 

 shape and color, matures earlier than the Rose, and is 

 much more productive. Under our own observation the 

 past season it yielded 50 per cent, more than the Rose, 

 matured earlier, and was in all respects superior.

BROWNEEE'S WINNER POTATO. — 



Tli is fine new potato is a very desirable addition to our 

 list. It is medium early, medium long, flattened oval in 

 shape; in color of skin similar to Early Rose, but not so 

 dark; eyes slightly depressed, and in most specimens 

 showing a slight pink color in the depth of the eye. A 

 smooth, handsome potato of good form and excellent 

 cooking qualities.

BIJSS TRIUMPH. -This beautiful variety com- 

 bines the wonderful productiveness of the Peerless with 

 all the good qualities of the Early Rose, is much more 

 productive, and matures its crop at least a week in ad- 

 vance of the Early Rose. Tubers are of medium size, 

 round and uniform in shape, with but a very few small 

 ones; eyes slightly depressed; color a beautifui light red. 

 Its great beauty, productiveness and fine quality make it 

 one of the best market varieties.

 pure and produces as good crops as those which made the 

 Early Rose famous in its early years, Remember that 

 this stock is not to be confounded with the old run-out 

 Rose, grown in other sections.

THE FREEMAN POTATO. -This new extra 

 early variety was introduced four years since under the 

 claim of being the greatest potato introduced since the 

 Early Rose. It has made a wonderful record, giving 

 enormous yields in all sections where grown. It is of 

 handsome shape, with beautiful russet skin, and is fully 

 equal to the old Snowflake in eating qualities. It will pay 

 every market gardener to plant the Freeman. Our crop 

 is grown from select stock, and will be found pure and 

 genuine.
