POTATO-Certified 



Pomme de Terre Patatas 



GROWN EXPRESSLY FOR SEED 



Culture. — The potato can be grown with varying 

 success on soils of all kinds and in all conditions of 

 fertility, but the soil best suited is a sandy loam. 

 Manure is applied either in rows or hills, or broad- 

 cast over the hills and plowed in, the latter in most 

 cases being preferable. Plant as early in the Spring 

 as the ground can be had in fair working order, in 

 hills or ridges, about 3 feet apart, and the sets 1 foot 

 apart in the rows, covering about 4 inches deep. 

 3 to 4 bbls. to the acre, 1 pk. for 100 ft. of row.
