DANIELS’ SENSATION. This grand Main Crop Potato is one o! the heaviest-cropping and best varieties we have 
ever grown. It is of a good, robust constitution, the haulm growing about two feet high. The tubers are of good size, thick 
pebble-shape, with very shallow eyes, almost level with the surface ; the skin is white and slightly netted — a sure indication 
of good cooking qualities — the flesh being white, mealy, and of the finest texture. Its splendid cropping and good culinary 
qualities, combined with its very handsome appearance, have made this variety a great favourite alike with the cook and 
exhibitor. Scotch grown Seed. Per 14 lb. 5s. ; 56 lb. 17s. 
HINTS ON POTATO CULTURE. 
Cultivation.— The varieties quoted in our list are the best in cultivation. It is most important that frequent changes of seed should be made, as 
Potatoes deteriorate if repeatedly saved from the same soil and district. For early work, “ Duke of York,” the well-known variety introduced by 
ourselves is still pre-eminent, and the increasing demand for this kind proves its superiority over all others as a first early. 
Much depends upon the selection and treatment of the “ sets ” ; it is therefore necessary to secure good moderate sized Potatoes which should 
be set up on end in shallow boxes or trays, and allowed to sprout before being planted, as when this is done much advantage is gained both in the 
development of the plants aqd in the weight of the crops. Potatoes like a good open position in the garden, and the most suitable soil is a medium 
to light one in a well-drained position ; the ground should be deeply dug and manured in the Autumn. Where stable manure is available a good 
dressing should be given at the time of planting, placing a layer on the bottom of the trenches ; well-decayed leaf-mould, or the remains of an old 
mushroom bed are also excellent for this purpose. 
When planting it is important that an abundance of room be left between tho rows and the sets in the row ; allow a distance of two feet between 
rows for the early, and three feet for the late strong-growing sorts, and twelve to eighteen inches between the sets in the rows. Where the land is 
naturally low and wet it is a capital plan to elevato the rows by forming ridges and so planting the sets on about a level with tho natural soil ; it is 
also good to keep the surface soil constantly stirred with the hoe until the earthing up commences. 
When tho young growths begin to push through the soil care must be taken to protect them from the frost by continually earthing up the soil 
round them (neglect of this lias often resulted in tho loss of a complete crop of Early Potatoes), and when it is desired to grow exhibition specimens 
only, one haulm should be left to a plant, all the weakest ones being drawn out as they appear. Slight dressings of soot or of “ Norwich Fertilizer 
during the growing season will be of much advantage. Immediately the growth is completed, the crop should be lifted ; choose fine weather for 
the work and store them after having had a few hours’ sun on them. 
Whero small quantities only are grown it is much better to store Potatoes in a cool dry place where they can be easily got at, as they are not so liable 
to develop disease as when stored in a pit or trench. 
M r IMPORTANT NOTICE.— Seed Potatoes procured during the Winter and early Spring, when not required for immediate planting, should be 
taken out of the bag or package in which they are received and laid out in a dry, airy place protected from frost, or they will begin to 
sprout and a weakly growth will be the result.
