$1,100 IN GOLD 
FOR THE BEST ACRE OF POTATOES. 
If the prize of §500 offered by the American Agriculturist for the best acre of potatoes, 
goes to potatoes grown exclusively on the Stockbridge Potato Manure, we will give an addi¬ 
tional prize of §600, making the total obtainable $1,100 IN GOI.D. if the prize offered by 
the American Agriculturist is not taken by a crop raised on the Stockbridge Potato Manure, 
we offer the §600 for the next best crops of potatoes grown exclusively on the Stockbridge 
Potato Manure in this competition, divided as follows: 
Second Prize, W-i’-iS. Tnird, S175. Fourth, 8125. Fifth, SYS. 
These are the largest prizes offered in this competition. 
The Stockbridge System of Manuring 
Seeks to make all that is now known of the principles of plant nutrition ot practical use, and 
is founded on the knowledge of the deficiencies and tardy action in average soils, and the com¬ 
position and wants of plants, as shown by exhaustive analyses. Accepting the soil with all its 
functions and offices as the seed and root-bed of plants, it turns to the living, growing crop, and 
aims to supply it with the food it seeks in such lortn, kind, proportion and quantity as is spec¬ 
ially required throughout the season, and which the soil and air do not supply. 
The Stockbridge Manures are both complete and special. They are complete in that they 
contain all the required elements of plant food, and are special in that they contain these ele¬ 
ments in forms best suited to the crops or classes of crops to be grown, and have given almost 
universal satisfaction. 
The prize competition is in the hands of the managers of the American Agriculturist, 
751 Broadway, New York, to whom intending competitors should address inquiries. But for 
further information ivgaiding these fertilizers, send to us for catalogue, mailed free.
