Beauty of Hebron and early Essex, planted Apr. 29th. June 

 29th, dug a bushel of good sized tubers from 20 hills. They 

 were cultivated 4 times with horse hoe, one day's hard work 

 with hoe, and that was all until digging time. They were ripe 

 before the mildew came, so I had but very few rotten ones. 

 The yield was 148 bushels on the half acre, a fair yield for this 

 year, of excellent quality, and though I have raised many a 

 larger one, few, on the whole, have given me greater satisfac- 

 tion for the labor and mone}' expended.
