TABLE OF SPRING PLANTED POTATOES, IN ROWS FOUR RODS LONG. 



The fall planted varieties were cultivated June 10, 18 and 24, and July 6 and 

 15, while the spring planted rows were cultivated June 18 and 24 and July 6 and 

 15. Hilling up was partially done July 6 and finished July 8. Observations of the 

 late varieties were taken three times, viz.: September 5, when the fall planted 

 were nearly full grown, while the spring planted were barely two-thirds grown. 

 September 18 the spring planted were nearly full grown, while the fall planted 

 were sufficiently ripe, the skin being firm. September 30, when the tops were 

 nearly killed by the frost of the preceding day, the spring planted were nearly, 

 though not sufficiently ripe. As shown in the tables below, the percentage of 

 small potatoes was greatest in the spring planted rows and while the total yield 

 of spring planted is greater than that of the fall planted, the figures are nearly 

 reversed if the merchantable potatoes only are taken into account.
