BRECK’S SEED POTATOES

F. o. b. Boston. 
A deep, mellow loam, rich in humus, furnishes ideal conditions for growing Potatoes, but good crops are raised 
on both heavier and lighter types of soil. Early varieties may be planted as soon as the ground can be prepared. 
Cut the tubers into pieces the size of hen’s eggs; drop a piece of seed every 15 inches in furrows 3 feet apart, 
and cover to a depth of 3 or 4 inches. Cultivate at intervals of a week or ten days, gradually throwing earth up 
around the stalks after the plants are 4 inches high. For potatoes, fertilizers are unquestionably better than barn¬ 
yard manure. 
We furnish only Aroostook Grown Potatoes from hill selected seed stock, carefully inspected during growing 
season, sorted and graded to size.

Pumpkin 
(Cucurbit*) 
German, “Kurbis.”—French, “Courge.”

Plant 1 inch deep in hills 8 by 8 feet apart, late in 
May, in any highly enriched soil that is not clayey. When 
the plants are beginning to run, remove all but the two 
strongest from each hill. Farmers find field pumpkins a 
valuable addition to their stock feed, and commonly grow 
them in the cornfield, planting a few seeds in every third 
or fourth hill in alternate rows. One ounce of seed will 
plant about 30 hills; 4 pounds, 1 acre.
