A NEW EARLY SWEET POTATO, 
EARLY GOLDEN, 
Tills variety originated in Virginia a few years since, by 
an old cultivator of the Sweet Potato. It is a sport of the 
old Early Retl, but. said to be far superior to that variety 
in earliness, productiveness, color, and quality. Slips 
planted May 10th, produced tubers large enough for the 
market July 25th. On account of its ear y maturity it is be¬ 
lieved to be better adapted for cultivation in the Northern 
States than any other variety. It matured its crop the past 
summer as far north as Canada. Specimens were exhibited 
last fall weighing six pounds. 
Price of slips, with directions for planting, by mail, post¬ 
paid, 50 cents per dozen; $1 for fifty; $1.75 per hundred. 
By express at purchaser’s expense, $1.25 per hundred, $lu.00 
per thousand.

MATFIELD 
FERTILIZERS! 
FOR 1881. 
These formulas originated over twenty-five years Ago by 
Dr. Joseph Hathaway, an eminent chemist of Boston, and 
the experiments made by him were attended with perfect 
success. Seven years since these formulas were placed in 
the hands of the Matfleld Fertilizer Co., by Dr. Hathaway, 
and during this period have been used by the farmers of 
New England and other sections, giving very great satis¬ 
faction, and many tests that have been made prove that 
the results obtained from the use of these manures for 
some crops exceed in quantity the production of the same 
crops raised with stable manure, and that they are much 
more economical to use than stable manure, is beyond 
question. 
A GENERAL FERTILIZER! 
OUR MATFIELD NO. 2. 
After repeated experiments in the hands of skilled and 
intelligent farmers for two years, we recommend to our 
customers with the full confidence that it will meet their 
wants and give entire satisfaction. For pamphlet contain¬
