Culture. Any good well drained, fibrous loam will 

 produce Potatoes under right climatic conditions. For 

 early Potatoes, which mature in 8 to 10 weeks from plant- 

 ing, the soil must be particularly rich. A rich clover sod, 

 manured and broken the year before and planted to corn, 

 beans, peas, oats, etc., is in best shape forgiving a good 

 yield of nice, clean Potatoes. Stable manure had better 

 be applied to the land the j'ear before, while some good 

 complete fertilizer, at tlie rate of up to lOuO pounds per 

 acre if applied broadcast, or 400 to 600 pounds if applied 

 mostly in the rows, may be used directly for the Potato 

 crop. Open furrows 3 ft. apart and 3 to 4 inches deep. 

 Apply the fertilizer, and run tns furrower or small plow 

 again in the furrow to mix the fertilizer with the soil and 

 leave a mellow seedbed. Then plant good-sized pieces, 

 each containing not less than 2 or 3 eyes, 15 inches apart 

 in the furrows for early Potatoes, and 18 inches apart for 

 late ones. In some of the large Potato sections the Pota- 

 toes are always planted in check rows of 3 feet apar. each 

 way. Cover with coverer, small plow or other suitable 

 tool. Cultivate often. Spray with Bordeaux Arsenate of 

 Lead Mixture as a protection from flea beetle, potato 

 beetle and blight. 8 to 10 bushels will plant an acre.

 seen our crop has been enthusiastic in praise of the beautiful plants crowned with the large 

 handsome fruits of a bright red ruby color. The peppers grow from A^ to 6 inches long by iM to 

 4/^ inches through. Added to their beautiful color when ripe is the fact that they are remarkably 

 mild and pleasant to the taste — in this respect unequaled by any other Red Pepper. We cannot 

 too strongly recommend the Ruby King. So mild and pleasant in flavor they can be sliced and 

 eaten with pepper and vinegar, like tomatoes, and makes a very pleasant and appetizing salad, 

 while for stuffing and pepper hash, no other variety can equal them. Pkts. Sc and 10c. Oz. 20c.
