Culture. — Any" good well -drained, fibrous loara 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 a 1000 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 

 feet apart and 3 to 4 inches deep. Apply the fertilizer, and run the 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 Potatoes are always 

 planted in check rows3 feet apart eacti way. Cover with coverer, small plow or other suitable tool. Cultivate often. Spray with 

 Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture as a protection from flee beetle, potato beetle and blight. 8 to 10 bushels will plant an 



acre.

Oreer's Early Standard. (See cut.) An extremely early 



new variety, which matures fully one week ahead of the 



Bovee. The tubers are produced abundantly and are of a 



uniform size. The plants are of dwarf, compact habit in 



growth, strong and healthy, free from blight and disease, and 



will also withstand drought. When the tubers are matured, 



the vines die down and never make a second growth. It 



invariably produces a large crop of smooth Potatoes, which 



are roundish in shape, beautiful white skin, very smooth and 



few eyes. The quality is superb, flesh being pure white, and 



cooks very mealy. J peck, 45 cts. ; peck, 75 cts. ; bu., ^2.35;
