POTATOES. 



German, Kartoffel. — French, Pomme de Terre. — Spanish, Patata. 

 Ten bnsbels exit tubers will plant one acre. 



Our seed Potatoes are not the small tubers riddled from large bulk stock, as are often sold for seed purposes, but Northern 

 grown, free from disease, and have been several times int>i)ected during growth by ourselves. It is our aim to have true, pure 

 tubers, yleldiug heavy crops, immune from disease, and, above all, excellent flavor and quality when cooked. These are the chief 

 points to be found in the eorts here listed. 



The Potato, Tike all robust-growing vegetables, can be grown with varying success on soils of all kinds and in all conditions 

 of fertility, but the soil best suited to it is a sandv loam. In breaking up go^d pasture land, the decaying sod answers 

 sufficiently well for potatoes the first year in lieu of manure. Manure Is applied either In rows or hills, or broadcast over the 

 hills and ploughed in — the latter in most cases being preferable. In highly enriched soils the plants are more liable to disease 

 than when erown in soil that is naturally gof^d. Plant «w e . rly in spring as the ground can be had in fair working order, in 

 hills or ridges, about three feet apart, cover lightly with soil, a bv)ut four inches deep.
