CULTURE. — Consider the condition of the soil — if rich, pulverise 
it by digginj? two, three, or four times. Plant early, before the strong eyes 
at the principal end start growing. Do everything possible so that the 
foliage is in no way injured. Take up early. Never clamp up tight until 
frosts set in — this prevents premature growth. Peel with a proper peeling 
knife. Do this every evening, and let them lie in water all night, and yon 
certainly cannot fail to have mealy, beautiful eating Potatoes when cooked
