 reminds reatU-rs that the old potatoes on liand can 

 also be p\it t^i another use, and writes as follows : — 



" In resiMtnse to the advice given last August; 

 considerable quantities of new potatoes were 

 then iilanted which gave excellent returns, and 

 visitors to the Royal Horticultural Society's 

 Exhibition in Noveniber saw splendid examples 

 of potatoes grown from tubers ]jlanted in August. 

 But even better results can be assured if old 

 l)otatoes are planted during the next four weeks. 

 All that is needed is to choose the soundest 

 tubers and either plant them at once on any 

 freshly dug ground or set them up on end for a 

 fortnight to encourage ' sprouting,' and then 

 plant. New ])otatoes in Xovember and December
