 his potatoes in Odober, and hang them up in a

 Ibeds, fpread and dry them on paper, and prefervc

 them in rows one foot afunder, in ground well pre-

 tranfplant them in land well dunged and made fine, 

 and dig them up in autumn.

 and your crop next year will be large both in fize 

 ^pd quantity.
