not ship until about planting time, unless specially ordered to do so. Our barrels contain three 
bushels—good measure. Full and concise directions for bedding and sprouting the seed and setting

THE NEW VINELAND BUSH SWEET POTATO 
We have been fortunate in securing from Mr. John Maytrott.one of the largest Sweet Potato growers 
of New Jersey, bis entire stock of this wonderful new and distinct Sweet Potato, which is much superior 
to the Vineless Sweet Potato introduced a few years ago. We visited Mr. Maytrott’s farm during the 
growing season, and are thoroughly convinced that he has originated a most valuable variety, and that 
all claims he makes for it can be fully substantiated. He writes about it as follows : 
“The Vineland Bush Sweet Potato originated on my farm from tho well-known Early Nansemond 
and Vineland Sweet Potato. It is a perfect bush, with no inclination for spinning, resembling a bean 
bush very closely. The tubers grow directly under the stalk. They are most abundant bearers, good 
flavor, handsome, rich yellow color and an excellent keeper. They can he grown fifteen inches apart in 
the row, the rows being thirty inches wide. They are simply perfection and a great improvement over 
all other vineless potatoes heretofore sold.” 
OF INTEREST TO DAIRYMEN. Mr. Maytrott further writes: “ From 2,000 plants I harvested 
86 baskets of prime potatoes, 35 seconds and 27 culls, making a total of 148§ bushel baskets. I then had 
the tops, which average 3 pounds each, which made 6,000 pounds of green forage, which was eaten with 
great relish by my cows. The milk was rich and had a sweet, pleasant flavor. All other stock, except 
horses, thrive on it. By planting tlie potatoes as I have said, one acre will contain about 1-1,000 plants. 
With proper care you will have a fine crop of potatoes and about twenty-one tons of Green Forage.”
