Potatoes for. seed. §g^: 



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 manure. If stable manure is to be used, it should be well rotted, 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 invariably the tub ers are smoother, brighter and freer from ru st and the de str uctive i nfluence of wire 

 worms. GRIFFITH & TIRNER ~~ " 



CO.'S Plant Food is especially adapted 

 for Potatoes, as it promises growth and, 

 at the same time, prevents disease. Plant 

 as early in the spring as the ground can 

 be thoroughly worked in rows 3 to 4 

 feet ai^art and 1 foot in the rows, cover- 

 ing in li.?ht, warm soil about 4 inches, 

 and in cold, wet ground 3 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 4 to 6 weeks 

 before planting: then lift carefully and 

 plant out. By this process sprouts are 

 obtained that, as soon as planted out in 

 the open ground, will send out shoots 

 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 EARLY 

 PRIZE.— This Potato 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 today.

BLISS TRIliMPH.— This beautiful va- 

 riety combines the wonderful produc- 

 tiveness of the Peerless, v,'ith 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.

MAINE, OR HOUSTON EARLY ROSE.— The Early Rose led 

 the hst for over 30 years, and is today one of the best early mar- 

 ket Potatoes. Our stock of this is grown on new land, near Houl- 

 ton. Maine, is rugged and pure, and produces as good crops as 

 ihose vvhich made the Early Rose famous in its early years. Re- 

 member tnat this stock is not to be confounded with the old 

 run-out Rose, grown in other sections.

 ahead of the Early Ohio. Shape chunky, eyes strong and deeply 

 set, skin netted, flesh white, quality very superior. The writer s 

 attention was called to this variety while on a tour of inspection, 

 and we concluded to place it in our collection. We believe it is 

 --something extra. Don't fail to get it. '

 ity, and an excellent keeper.

EARLY NORTHER.— This superb Potato originated at Cari- 

 bou. 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 respects superior

Second Crop Seed Potatoes. 



THE advantage derived from second seed over first 

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

 of their vigor through the winter, having been checked 

 by frost before maturity; they lie dormant, ready to grow 

 vigorously when planted. They rarely send up more than 

 one sprout: this may divide into several branches; the 

 consequence is all the growth .goes into the tubers. They 

 do not form as many to the h;ll as matured seed, and they 

 grow full marketable size 12 to 1.5 days earlier than ordi- 

 nary seed. 



The followins' varieties are s'rown from
