thrive and produce best in a light, dry, taut rich soil. Well decomposed stable manure is 

 the best, but if not to be had, cottonseed meal, raw bone meal or any other fertilizer 

 should be used to make the ground rich enough. If the ground was plar.ted the Fall 

 previous with cow peas, which were plowed under, it will be in good condition for 

 potatoes. Good size tubers should be selected for planting, which can be cut in pieces 

 not too small; each piece ought to contain at least three eyes. Matures in 95 to 140 days 

 Plant in drills from two to three feet apart. Corona Dry is particularly efficient in 

 the control of the ordinary potato bug. Dust the potato plants with Corona Mixture 

 when they are 6 to 8 inches high. Repeat when necessary or at intervals of two 

 weeks for the rest of the season. Write for prices on quantity lots.

 sorts this is more large- 

 ly used than any other.

 form, and an excellent 

 yielder. The flesh is 

 .vhite, and is very mealy 

 and of fine flavor. 15

 very handsome and pro- 

 ductive varietv of me- 

 dium earliness. tubers 

 oblong:, large and uni- 

 form in size; vines 

 strong, of a dark green 

 color, stocky and vigorous; skin and flesh

IRISH COBBLER. — A comparatively new 

 and very early variety, extensively grown 

 for market and shipping purposes. The 

 tubers are very handsome, almost uniform 

 in s'hape and size. Flesh white and excel- 

 lent, skin cream with buff and white net- 

 ting. It is a heavy cropper and has been 

 extensively planted in the East and West

BREEZE'S PEERLESS OR BOSTON.—

 duced, yet at present it is the leading kind

 dull white, sometimes slightly russeted; 

 eyes few and shallow, round, occasionally 

 oblong; grows to a large size; very pro- 

 ductive, and earlier than the Jackson 

 White. It is a general favorite in this 

 section. 15 lbs., $1.10; 60 lbs., $3.00; 150

VERMONT EARLY ROSE.— This is 

 without doubt the best potato for the table. 

 It is oval, very shallow eyed, pink skinned, 

 very dry and mealy when boiled. This vari- 

 ety should not be planted too soon, from 

 the fact that they make small stalks and 

 if cut down by frost they suffer more than 

 other varieties, but they want rich lig-ht 

 soil to grow to perfection. 15 lbs., $1.25; 

 60 lbs., $3.50; 150 lb. sack, $8.00, not pre- 

 paid.

FORMULA FOR SCALY 

 POTATOES. 



One pint of formaldehyde to 30 gallens 

 of water, soaking the seed potatoes in the 

 solution two hours before planting, allow- 

 ing them to dry thoroughly before cutting. 

 As the formaldehyde solution does not 

 lose its strength, keep on using the same 

 solution as long as there are potatoes to 

 be planted. This is very effective.
