POTATOES FOR SEED. 



German, 

 Kartoffel. 



'HE soil best suited to the Potato is a rich, sanrty loam, but it seems to ttiiivc in almost any soil or rliinate. The Potato being a gross 

 feeder, requires a liberal application of manure. If stable manure is to be used, it sliould be well rotted, and not allowed to come In 

 contact with the tubers. On no other crop are the results from the use of ])hosphales so manifest as on the Potato. Almost Invari- 

 ably the tubers are smoother, brighter and freer from rust and the destructive influence of wire worms. CJiiiffith & Tlkxer Co.'S 

 Plant Food is especially adapted 



for Potatoes, as it promotes growth and, 

 at the same time, prevents disease. 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, cover- 

 ing in light, warm soil about four inches, 

 and in cold, wet ground three inches deep; 

 draw the earth to the plants as they ad- 

 vance in growth. If an early crop is de- 

 sired, sprout the tubers, or cut potatoes, in 

 a light, warm room, from four to six weeks 

 Ijefore planting, then lift carefully and 

 plant out. By this process sprouts are ob- 

 tained that, as soon as planted out in the 

 open ground, will send out shoots and 

 grow more rapidl.v tlian if treated in the 

 ordinary way. The soil should be con- 

 stantly "stirred through the season to pre- 

 vent the surface from baking. 



G. & T. CO.'S EXTRA EARLY PRIZE. 



This Potato is in all respects a very su- 

 perior 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 Po- 

 tato on the market today.

BLISS TRIUMPH.— This beautiful vari- 

 ety combines the wonderful productive- 

 ness of the I'eerless, with all the good 

 qualities of the Early Rose, is much

 Rose.

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.

THE advantage derived from Second Seed over First crop 

 is that they do not sprout or shrivel, or lose any of 

 their vigor' tlirough the winter, having been checked 

 by frost before maturity; they lie dorniaut. ready to 

 grow vigorously when planted. They rarely send up 

 more than one sprout; this may ilivide into several V>raiU'lies: 

 tlu> consequence is all the growth got s into the Ivibers. They 

 ilo not form as many to the hill as matured seed, and they 

 grow full marketable size twelve to lifteen days earlier than 

 ordinary seed. 



The following varieties are .grown from second crop seed:
