 all respects a very superior early sort. It proved to be early and

The soil best suited to ;the Potato is a rich, sandy loam; but it 

 seems to thrive in almost any soil or clmiate. 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 & 

 TURNER CO.'S PLANT FOOD is especially adapted for Po- 

 tatoes, as it promotes growth and at the same time prevents 

 disease. Plant as early in the spring as the ground can be thor- 

 oughly 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. 



IRISH COBLER (A New Sort). — Very productive, matures 

 early, shape chunky, eyes strong and deep set, skin betted, flesh 

 white, quality very superior. After years' experience we find that 

 it is a very superior variety. Don't fail to get it.

WHITE BLISS TRIUMPH, or PRIDE OF THE 

 SOUTH. — Extra early round white; identical with the Red 

 Bliss, only different in color. A very fine variety for early 

 market or family garden.

RED BLISS TRIU.MPH. — This beautiful variety com- 

 bines the wonderful productiveness 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. 



15 lbs. @:5c. lb. 



EARLY OHIO. — This is very early and productive, of 

 fine quality and an excellent keeper.

MAUVE, or HOULTON EARLY 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 

 produces 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. 



15 lbs. @ 5c. lb. 



EARLY NORTHER. — This superb Potato originated at 

 Caribou, Maine. It resembles the Early Rose in shape and color, 

 matures earlier than the Rose, and is much more productive. 

 Under our own observation the past season it yielded more than 

 the Rose, matured earlier, and was in all respects superior. 



15 lbs. @ 5c. lb.

 smooth; uniform, perfect shape; eyes shallow; light skin and white 

 flesh. Cooks dry and floury; of superb quality; a great yielder 

 and healthy grower.

 One of the best for early market. It is planted very largely in 

 this vicinity and the South.

 ripening as early as Early Rose, which it resembles, but frequently 

 exceeds in productiveness and excellence for table use, either baked 

 or boiled; 



15 lbs. @ 5c. lb. 



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.
