SWEET POTATO SLIPS 
Setting the plants is rarely done as carefully as this important operation demands. 
Careless setting will often damage the crop one-half, by the loss of a stand and the 
slow, weak growth following poor or in proper setting. The bulk of the crop is set just 
after a rain, and often when the soil is more or less damaged on account of its being 
too wet. The secret of good setting is found in putting the plants deep into the soil, 
with the roots in close contact with moist earth, and firmly: pressing the earth about 
the roots throughout their length. This requires 7,000 to 11,000 plants per acre, respec- 
tively. When planted in beds, these vary from 36 to 42 inches apart and the plants 
are set from 12 to 20 inches apart, in the row, requiring 7,000 to 13,000 plants to set 
an acre. 
WHITE TRIUMPH.—This variety is 
best known in our community is a large, 
oval shaped, white potato and is grown 
more for early stock food, especiaJly hogs, 
than any other variety, but is not consid- 
3red a good potato for home use. 
GOLD COIN.—A golden yellow, very at- 
tractive and raised very extensively for 
the market, as its color and the fact that 
it will keep like a rock makes it a most 
desirable shipping potato and is the potato 
for the market gardener to plant. Good 
yielder. 
BUNCH YAM.—Has a good yellow color, 
not much vine, sometimes called forked- 
leaf yam, a very popular potato all over 
the South, a good keeper and for both 
table use and keeping. 
NANCY HALL.—tThe best eating potato 
that we know, but the poorest keeping po- 
tato that we raise unless it is the Yellow 
Nansemond. This potato looks very much 
like the Gold Coin and yields fairly well, 
maturing as most all yellow. varieties, 
about September and October. 
PORTO RICAN YAM.—Not only a good 
eating potato, but a very fine keeper; it is 
late maturing and yields well. 
We begin shipping about April 15th, slips will be sent from growing station. Prices, 
Parcel Post Paid, 100, 65c.; 500, $2.25; 1,000, $4.00; By Express, 500, $2.00; 1,000, $3.50.
