■Established over 50 Years f Mention this paper.X 
with the potato plant, I have iound that the tip or 
e a rank growth of vine and a lot of small potatoes, 
ys throw the tip away, cutting the remainder into 
;hy stalks to each seed used. They are not planted in 
hills, but in a continuous row, 12 inches apart, one piece in a place. In preparing land for 
planting, I throw it up into ridges as deep as a pair of 3,500 lb. horses can draw the plow 
after which I put on the Stock bridge Potato Manure, scattering it thoroughly all over 
the ridge and furrow. The piece is then harrowed lengthwise with a smoothing har¬ 
row which incorporates the fertilizer with the soil and leaves three or four inches of 
this mellow soil in tke bottom of the trenches on which the seed is dropped, and then 
covered by running the plow through the centre of each ridge. The potatoes are thus 
buried deep in the centre of the ridge. Just before the plants appear the field is har¬ 
rowed lengthwise of the ridge with a spike toothed harrow which levels the ridges and 
kills the weeds, leaving the stems of the plants uncovered givirg them a good start 
ahead of the weeds. This leaves the whole field as mellow as an ash heap. All after 
cultivation may be done by horse power. Our potato crop this year was the best we 
ever raised being

The Nomenclature Committee will meet in 
session at the Queen’s Hotel, Toronto, at 9 
A. M., the day before the Florists’ Conven¬ 
tion takes place in that city in August next. 
The object of this committee is to preserve 
the correct nomenclature of all cultivated 
decorative garden plants, hardy or tender, 
more especially the varieties of plants. If 
a certain plant is cultivated in your neigh¬ 
borhood under two or more different names, 
please notify this committee so that the 
synonomy may be attended to. And if any 
of your readers know of a case in which a 
plant has been sold under a false name, or 
one plant has been sold under two or more 
names, please advise me, or some other 
member of this committee, by mall.
