This photograph showcases a bountiful harvest of potatoes, grown using Hadfield's Special Potato Manure. The image, estimated to date back to the 1910s, depicts a scene of agricultural success in the picturesque countryside of Roseveare, Cornwall, England. The rolling hills and lush greenery serve as the perfect backdrop for the well-tended potato field. George Hadfield & Co. Ltd., established in 1820, was a renowned company based in Liverpool, known for its Bone, Fertilizer & Vitriol Works. Their Hadfield's Special Potato Manure was a prized product among farmers, as evidenced by the thriving crop in this photograph. The manure, made from a unique blend of animal bones and other organic matter, as well as vitriol, was believed to provide essential nutrients and improve soil structure, leading to healthier and more productive potato crops. The farmers in this scene can be seen proudly displaying their harvest, carefully placing the golden spuds into woven baskets. The warm, sunlit atmosphere and the sense of community among the farmers add to the charm of this photograph. This image is a testament to the importance of quality fertilizers and the role they played in the success of agricultural endeavors during this era. The use of Hadfield's Special Potato Manure was a trusted farming practice, and this photograph serves as a record of its effectiveness. The combination of the rich, fertile soil and the expert application of this manure resulted in a successful potato crop that would have provided nourishment for families and communities in the region.
