 planting large potatoes are cut so that a good 

 sized piece will contain 3 eyes. The pieces are 

 planted in rows 2 to 3 feet apart and hills 1 

 to 2 feet apart in rows. Fall seed potatoes are 

 small and are planted whole, all varieties 

 listed mature in about 85 to 100 days.

 inches high for control of Potato Bugs.
