'■'■The Aspinwall Potato Planter works with almost human ingenuity. It is as indispens¬ 
able to the large potato grower as the reaper is to the wheat farmer. IT IS A SUCCESS. 
We can gladly recommend it as a first-class implement. Potato growing in the future pro¬ 
mises to be conducted as wheat growing now is—on a large scale. Those ivho refuse to avail 
themselves of improved implements will fall behind .'"— Rural New-Yorker, April 2, 1887.
