POTATOES 
German, Kartoffel. French, Pomme de Terre. 
Spanish, Patata. 
Ten bushels cut tubers will plant one acre. Seed 
Potatoes weigh 165 pounds to the barrel, net. 
Our seed Potatoes are northern grown and 
free from disease. It is our aim to have true, 
pure tubers, yielding heavy crops, and, above 
all, excellent flavor and quality when cooked. 
These are the chief points to be found in the 
sorts here listed. 
The Potato, like all robust - growing vege- 
tables, can be grown with varying success on 
soils of all kinds and in all conditions of fertil- 
ity, but the soil best suited to it is a sandy 
loam. 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 grown in soil that is 
naturally good. Plant as early in spring as the 
ground can be had in fair working order, in hills or ridges, about three feet apart, cover lightly with soil, about four inches deep.
