Charles H. Turpin, being duly sworn deposes and says, that he resides in Rochester, N. Y. and is a 
landscape photographer by profession ; that on the 28th day of July he made the photographic negatives of 
which the pictures marked respectively Views No. 1 and 2, are the positive reproductions ; that the same are 
absolutely accurate representations of their respective subjects ; that the subjects of said pictures are adjoining 
potato fields in the town of Penfield, County and State aforesaid, of apparently equal fertility, planted in hills 
of equal distance apart, and separated merely by an ordinary farm fence ; that deponent’s camera in taking 
said negatives was placed on the line of said fence ; that in taking View No. 1 said camera was pointed South, 
and in taking View No. 2, was pointed North ; that an interval of less than thirty minutes elapsed between the 
taking of said negatives ; that deponent is informed and verily believes that the field which is the subject of 
View No. 1, was planted on or about May 10th with the ordinary varieties of potatoes raised in that locality, 
and that the adjoining field which is the subject of View No. 2, was planted three weeks subsequently with 
improved varieties grown by GUNSON, HIGBIE & CO., especially for seed. C. R. TURPIN.
