POTATOES. 



German, Kartoffel. • 



The soil best suit- 

 ed to the Potato is 

 a. rich sandy loam, 

 but it seems to 

 thrive i n almost 

 any soil or climate. 

 The Potato being a 

 gross feeder, re- 

 quires a liberal ap- 

 plication of ma- 

 nure; if stable ma- 

 nure is to be used, 

 it should be well 

 rotted, and not al- 

 lowed to come in 

 contact with the 

 tubers. On no other 

 crop are the results 

 from the use of 

 phosphates so man- 

 ifest as on the Po- 

 tato; almost inva- 

 rialby the tubers 

 are smoother, 

 brighter and freer 

 from rust and the 

 destructive influ- 

 ence of wire worms. 

 Griffith & Turner 

 Co.'s PLANT 

 FOOD is especially adapted for Potatoes, as they 

 promote growth and at the same time prevent dis- 

 ease. Plant as early in the spring as the ground 

 can be thoroughly worked in rows three to four 

 feet apart and one foot in the rows; covering in 

 light, warm soil about four inches, and in cold, 

 wet ground three inches deep; draw 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 room, from four to six weeks before 

 planting, then lift carefully and plant out; by thla 

 process sprouts are obtained that, as soon as plant- 

 ed out in the open ground, will send out shoots, 

 and grow more rapidly than if treated in the ordi- 

 nary way. The soil should be constantly stirred 

 through the season to prevent the surface from 

 baking. 



G., T. & CO.'S EXTRA EARLY PRIZE.— 



This new Potato which we have grown for several 

 years 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 extra early Potato 

 on the market today.

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 more 

 than the Rose, matured earlier, and was in all re- 

 spects superior. 



Pk. 50c. Bu. $1.50 Bhl. $3.25. 



HLISS 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 advance 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 beautiful light red. Its great beauty, productive- 

 ness and fine quality make it one of the best market 

 varieties.

EARLY OHIO.- This is very early and produc- 

 tive, of fine quality and an excellent keeper.

MAINE, or HOl'LTON EARLY ROSE.— The 



Early Rose led the list for over thirty years, and is 

 today one of the best early market potatoes. Our 

 stock of this is grown on new land, near Houlton. 

 Maine, is rugged and 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.
