KITCHEN AND EXHIBITION SEED POTATOES. 
SPECIALLY GROWN AND SELECTED FOR SEED, AND TRUE TO NAME. 
Those marked with a * are good Exhibition varieties. 
It is absolutely necessary that full Rail Address should accompany all orders for Potatoes. 
We grow, at our farm at Eynsford, many acres all for seed on calcareous soil, and as change of seed off different soil is so essential for heavy and 
healthy crops, our seed potatoes will be found to give undoubted satisfaction both for exhibition and table purposes. Great attention and care is bestowed 
upon each variety to keep them perfectly true. All samples are hand-picked by experienced men who are well acquainted with the respective sorts. 
CULTURE.— Consider the condition of the soil— if rich, pulverize it by digging two, three, or four times. Plant early, before the strong eves 
d 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 von 
certainly cannot fail to have mealy, beautiful eating Potatoes when cooked. 6 J
