MAINE OR NORTHERN GROWN SEED POTATOES. 



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 wire worms. GRIFFITH & 

 TIRXER 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 w-orked in rows 3 feet apart and 1 foot in the rows, covering in light, 

 warm soil about i 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. 



G. A T. CO.'S EXTRA EARl.V 

 PRIZE.— This Potato is in all respects 

 a very superior early sort. It proved 

 to be the earliest and most productive 

 •f any we tried; also found its eating 

 qualities first class. We consider it 

 the best early Potato on the market

BLISS TRIl'MPH. — This beautiful 

 variety combines the wonderful pro- 

 ductiveness of the Peerless with all the 

 I good qualities of the Early Rose; is 

 1 much more productive and matures its 

 I crop at least a week in advance of the 

 I Early Rose. Peck, 50c. Bushel. $1.75. 

 ! Barrel. $4.50. 



MAINE, or HOILTOX EARLY 

 ROSE.— The Early Rose led the list 

 for aver 30 j'ears, 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 

 ]^ure. and produces as good crops as 

 those which made the Early Rose fa- 

 mous in its early years. Remember 

 [■. that this stock is not to be confound- 

 !- <ed with the old run-out Rose, grown 

 ■ in other sections. Peck, 50c. Bushel,

Second Crop Southern Grown Seed Potatoes. 



SINCE we have been advertising the Second Crop Seed we often have been asked what it signified, and for the benefit 

 of those who do not seem to know we will state that they are the product of the first planting in the spring, planted 

 again as soon as dug and the result from that planting stored away in the fall for next season's nse. 

 The advantage derived from second seed over first crop is that they do not sprotit 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 wheH 

 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 which grow to full marketable size 12 to 15 days earlier than ordinary seed. 



The results from the planting of this seed have been so remarkable that our sales in consequence have grown much 

 beyond our expectations. 



THE FOLLOWING VARIETIES ARE GROWN FROM FIRST CROP NORTHERN STOCK: 

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

 white, with a flesh tint; meat white and floury, cooking evenly 

 through. A very early bearer, and its keeping qualities are equal 

 to the best. Peck. .'Oc. Bushel, $1.50. Barrel, $.'J.75.
