PURE EARLY ROSE. 
An Old Standard Favorite Sort. 
Every farmer and gardener knows the old 
Early Rose potato, and nothing need be said in 
its favor. It has no faults, except that ill treat- 
ment and neglect sometimes cause a poor or 
weak strain to be put on the market under the 
name of Early Rose seed potatoes. We have been 
at great pains, therefore, to get a true, strong 
strain of Early Rose grown in the far North, for 
our stock, and we can offer it as the purest and 
best that can be had. Early Rose will never go 
out of fashion as long as the original stock can 
be obtained. Lb., Sc; 25 lbs., $1.25; 100 lbs., $3.50.

true to name and free from scale, scab and other

to six inches apart in the rows. Used as a garnish 
for table, also in soups.

SWEET POTATO PLANTS 
You can grow sweet potatoes easily if you plant 
the right varieties and set them out after the 
ground is warm. Rich sandy bottom land is best, 
but any good garden soil will give good returns. 
We have always depended on the South for 
plants, but this year we offer 
Oregon grown plants for seasonable delivery, 
per doz., 30c; 100, $1.00, postpaid. 
P. O. B. Portland, doz., 25c; 100, 75c, 1,000, 
$7.00. 
Formaldehyde Treatment. 
Soak the tubers before cutting for one hour 
and a half in a solution of 1 lb. (or pint) of For- 
maldehyde to 30 gallons of water. Formaldehyde 
Is safe to use and is very effective for Scab. 
PEANUTS 
CULTURE. Select warm light or sandy soil, 
rich in lime; if not rich in lime, the soil must be 
made so by using air slaked lime or land plaster. 
Rather uncertain in this locality, but we have 
seen some splendid results in favored spots.
