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 mani- 

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

 ence of wire worms. GRIFFITH & Tl'RXER CO.'S PLAXT 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 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. & 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. Peck, 60c. Bushel, 91.75. Bar-

 wonderful productiveness of the Peerless with all the good

MAIXE, or HorLTOX EARLY ROSE. — The Early Rose led 

 the list for over 30 years, and is today one of the best early

 good crops as those which made the Earlj- Rose famous in its 

 early years. Remember that this stock is not to be con- 

 founded with the old run-out Rose, grown in other sections.
