POTATOES. (Kariofi.) 
Prices Subject to Variations of the Market. 
A good, sandy loam produces the best potatoes, but they can be grown on all kinds of soil. New or pasture land, with the turf freshly 
turned, produces the finest crop. Make furrows of good depth, three feet apart. Scatter a liberal dressing of phosphate or decayed stable 
manure along the drill, and set the seed about ten inches apart in the rows. Very small potatoes should not be used for seed. Large tubers 
may be cut in two or three pieces, leaving only one or two eyes on each. Cover with about two inches of soil, and begin to cultivate when 
the plants are well up. At each successive hoeing, bring additional soil about the plants. A change of seed is ‘the best antidote for disease. 
Nine bushels are sufficient to plant one acre in drills, 
By mail three pounds of any of the undernoted sorts for $1.00.
