IRISH POTATOES. 



The varieties named below were purchased of Henry A. 

 Dreer, Philadelphia, and planted March 16th, 1893. 



The land having been thoroughly prepared, was fertilized 

 with compost such as we use for corn, and after the potatoes 

 were planted the plot was covered with pine straw about 

 four inches deep. This was done immediately after the 

 planting was finished. As soon as the vines began to turn yel- 

 low, the potatoes were harvested, which was from the latter 

 part of June to the first of July, and they were then placed 

 in a cool room, spread out on the floor and sprinkled with 

 slaked lime.
