 GROWN

CuLTtjKE. 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 tubers are smoother, brighter and 

 freer from rust and the destructive influence of 

 wireworms. Plant as early in the spring as the 

 ground can be thoroughly worked, in rows 3 feet 

 apart and 1 foot apart in the rows, covering in 

 light, warm soil about 4 inches, and in cold wet 

 ground 3 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. 



Green Mountain. This is a most excellent 

 late Potato that does remarkably well on 

 poor soils, and is very free from disoase. 

 It resists drought wonderfully well and 

 produces tubers of large size and attractive 

 appearance with white flesh. A good 

 keeper, and when put away in the fall will 

 keep well until spring. Matures in 140 days. 

 G. & T. Co.'s Extra-Early Prize. This 

 Potato is in all respects a very popular 

 early sort. It proved to be early and pro- 

 ductive and its eating qualities first class. 

 We consider it the best early Potato on the 

 market today. 

 Irish Cobbler. Very productive and ma- 

 tures early. Shape chunky; eyes strong 

 and deep set; skin netted; flesh white, of 

 very superior quahty. After years of expe- 

 rience we find that it is a very superior 

 variety. Don't fail to get it. 

 Prosperity. A middle-crop variety, and one 

 of the handsomest large Potatoes ever pro- 

 duced. The yield is immense, and even under 

 unfavorable circumstances can be reHed on. 

 Flesh very white ; cooks dry and mealy. 

 Red Bliss Triumph. This beautiful variety 

 combines the wonderful productiveness of 

 the Peerless with all the good quahties of 

 the Early Rose. It is much more produc- 

 tive, and matures its crop at least a week 

 in advance of Early Rose. 

 Spaulding Rose. This leads the list for Rose 

 Potatoes, and is today one 

 of the best early market 

 " , " — ^ sorts. Our stock of this, 



* •* grown on new land near 



i Houlton, Maine, is rugged 

 .\ and pure, and produces as 

 good crops as those which 

 made the Early Rose 

 famous in its early years.
