TURNIP 



IMPROVED PURPLE OR RED TOP 

 GI.OBE TURNIP 



For early use, sow the small sorts as soon as the ground can be worked in the 

 spring, in drills 14 inches apart, the Rutabagas 30 inches. As the seed is very fine, 

 it should be covered but slightly, excepting in very dry weather. Select light, and 

 if possible, new soil and manure with plaster and ashes or phosphates. Should the 

 young plants be troubled with insects, a sprinkling of slug shot will be beneficial. 

 For fall and winter use the early kinds should be sown, from the middle of July to 

 the middle of August, and the Rutabagas from the middle of June to the first of 

 July, using from one to one and a half pounds of seed to the acre.

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 mani- 

 fest as on the Potato. Almost invariably the tubers are smoother, brighter and freer from rust and the destructive influence 

 of wire worms. Plant as early in tlie spring as the ground can be thoroughly worked in rows three 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. The soil should be constantly stirred through the season to prevent the surface from 

 baking. 



G. 85 T. CO.'S EXTRA EARLY PBIZE — This pota- 

 to is in all respects a very popular early sort. It 

 proved to be early and productive; also found its eat- 

 ing qualities first class. We consider it the best early 

 potato on the market today. 



IBISH COBBLEB — ^Very productive, matures early; 

 shape chunky, eyes strong and deep set, skin netted, 

 flesh white, quality very superior. After years' experi- 

 ence we find that it is a very superioq yariety. Don't 

 fail to get it. 



RED BLISS TRIUMPH. — ^This beautiful variety com- 

 bines the wonderful producti\ eness 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. 



SPAULDING ROSE. — The Early Rose led the'list for 

 over 30 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 pro- 

 duces 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. 



GREEN MOUNTAIN — This is a most excellent late 

 Potato; it does remarably well on poor soils, and is very 

 free from disease; it resists drought wonderfully well 

 and produces tubers of large size and attractive appear- 

 ance; flesh white. It is a good keeper, and when put 

 away in the fall will keep well until spring. Matures 

 in 14 days. 



PROSPERITY. — A middle-crop variety, one of the hand- 

 somest large Potatoes ever produced. The yield is immense 

 and even under unfavorable circumstances can be relied on 

 flesh very white; cooks dry and mealy.
