HOW TO GROW POTA- 
TOES. — You can grow Potatoes 
anywhere in good, rich, loose, 
well-drained soil if weather con- 
ditions are right. It requires 10 
to 12 bushels to plant an acre, 
which should produce from 200 
to 300 bushels. A Potato can be 
cut in two, three, or four pieces 
and each piece should contain 
two or three eyes. Plant these 
pieces IS inches apart in the 
rows. First work the soil thor- 
oughly, make rows 2 to 3 feet 
apart for hand or horse cultiva- 
tion; open a furrow 4 inches 
deep in each row; then put in 
your fertilizer (mix thoroughly 
with the soil) and plant the 
pieces in these furrows. Culti- 
vate often and spray every ten 
days or two weeks with Pyrox 
to kill the bugs and prevent 
blight. To plant a row 100 feet 
long, 80 pieces are required.

POTATO SEEDS FROM SEED BALLS 
Potato seeds are curious and wonderful. The seed produces an amazing diversity 
of Potatoes. It may not be generally known that every seed will bring a different 
variety — each one more or less distinct from each other. Such is the case. The 
product of a packet of seeds will be a vast number of colors, shapes and sizes. 
There wil! be white, yellow, pink, red. blue, purple and black potatoes. There will 
be shades innumerable. Extraordinary freaks sometimes develop — such as a 
Potato having vines that run on the ground like a cucumber vine, the joints taking 
root and producing Potatoes at every joint, etc. 
Potato seeds grow as readily as tomato seeds. Plant them early in the spring; 
when they are 3 or 4 inches high, transplant 2 feet apart. 
The Seeds arc exceedingly prolific. It is not an uncommon thing for one seed to 
produce 50 to 150 perfect Potatoes the first season. Pkt. 15 cts., 4 pkts. 50 cts. 
SPRAY WITH PYROX to kill Potato bugs and prevent blight. This wonderful 
sj)ray, PYROX, has been the means of saving thousands of acres of Potatoes from 
tne ravages of these two plagues. PYROX is two sprays in one, and it sticks to 
the foliage like paint, rain won't wash it off. Zt kills the bugs and prevents the 
blight — the disease of the plant. Ask for special booklet. Lb. 40 cts., 5 lbs. $1.75, 
10 lbs. $3. 25 lbs. $6.25, 50 lbs. $11, 100 lbs. $20, 300 lbs. $57 (10 lbs. make 
50 gals., enough for one acre, once over).
