Tlie fungoiLS diseases are certainly on the increase and nnlcss more aitention is 

 friven to treating the .seed and s])raying the vines (he quality, as \vfll as (luantity. of 

 the potato crop is bound to deteriorate. 



Each Aariety is grown for several years to thoroughly test it, after wliicli the 

 inferior kinds are dro]>ped to make room for the newer sorts. A few of tlie standard 

 kinds are grown longer for the purjiose of c-oini)arison.

 received from the seedsmen named:
