Culture. Any good well drained, fibrousloam will 

 produce Potatoes under right climatic conditions. 

 For early Potatoes, which mature in 8 to 10 weeks 

 from planting, 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 for giving a good yield of nice, clean Potatoes. 

 Stable manure had better be applied to the land the 

 year before, while some good complete fertilizer, at 

 the rate of up to 1000 pounds per acre if applied broad- 

 cast, or 400 to 600 pounds if applied mostly in the rows, 

 may be used directly for the Potato crop. Open fur- 

 rows 3ft. apart and 3 to 4 inches deep. Apply the 

 fertilizer, and run the f urrower or small plow again 

 in the furrow to mix the fertdizer with the .soil and 

 leave a mellow seedbed. Then plant good-sized 

 pieces, each contaiuing not less tlian 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 Potatoes are always planted in 

 check rows 3feet apart each way. Cover with coverer, 

 sm ill plow or other suitable tool. Cultivate often. 

 Spray with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead llixlure as a 

 protection from flea beetle, potato beetle and blight. 

 S to 10 bushels 7vill plant an acre.

Mammoth Ruby King Pepper, ceiwari^'y ts now recogni'z"ed as oneyShlbesi 

 Red Peppers for market or family use. Every one who has seen our crops has been enthusiastic in 

 praise of the beautiful plants crowded with the large handsome fruits of a bright ruby red color. 

 The Peppers grow from AVi to 6 inches long by iV^ to AV2 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 

 unequalled by any other Red Pepper. We cannot too strongly recommend the Ruby King. So 

 mild and pleasant in flavor thev can be sliced and eaten with pepper and vmegar, like tomatoes, 

 and makes a verv pleasant and appetizing salad, while for stuffing and pepper hash no other vari- 

 ety can equal them. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 20c. K Lb. 60c. Lb i2.00. ,,^..r, T.,40
