POTATOES FOR. SEED. 



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 th e tubers are smooth er, brighter and freer fro m rust and the de structive influence of wire 

 worms. GRIFFITH & TIRXER 

 CO.'S Plant Food is especially adapted 

 for Potatoes, as it promises growth and, 

 at the same time, prevents disease. Plant 

 as earlv in the spring as the ground can 

 be thoroughly- worked in rows 3 to 4 

 feet apart and 1 foot in the rows, cover- 

 ing in light, 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 TRII MPH.— This beautiful va- 

 riety combines the wonderful produc- 

 tiveness 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. 



Peck. BOc. Bns.. $1.75. Bbl.. $4.50. 



MAINE. OR HOILTON EARLY ROSE.— The Early Rose led 

 the list 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 

 those which made the Early Rose famous in its early years. Re- 

 member tnat this stock is not to be confounded wi'th the old 

 run-out Rose, grown in other sections.

 quality and productiveness.

IRISH COBBLER (A \ew Sort).— Very productive, matures 

 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 ohape and color, 

 matures earlier than the Rose, and is much more productive 

 Under our own observation the past season it yielded more than 



RURAL NEW YORKER. No. 2.— A valuable variety of large 

 size, very smooth and a great cropper; in quality unexcelled. 

 This variety is yearly becoming more popular as the best late 

 long keeper, and we recommend it highly.

BUR BANK. — This is an old and reliable variety, and is A No. 1

NEW Ql'EEN. — A grand Potato of recent introduction, closely 

 resembling Beauty of Hebron in appearance, color, size and 

 shape, but is 7 to 10 days earlier, and a heavy yielder. Our seed

 pure and true to name.

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 hill as matured seed, and they 

 grow full marketable size 12 to 15 days earlier than ordi- 

 nary seed. 



The following; varieties are grown from ~ 

 second crop seed: 



CROWN JEWEL.— This is a seedling of the Early Ohio. 

 Skin white, with a flesh tint; meat white and floury, cook- 

 ing evenly through. A very early bearer, and its keeping 

 qualities are equal to the best.
