EXPERIME^•T STATION BULLETINS

At the time of harvesting, seed is selected for the following year by choosing 

 typical specimens from the hills that gave the best results. In this way the running 

 out of the variety is largely prevented, and if the method was practiced hj the general 

 grower a better grade of potatoes could be secured. 



To maintain its vigor, the seed should be kept from sprouting, which can be easily 

 done by ])lacing it in a cool, dark cellar, or burying it on the north side of a building 

 until planting time.
