SEED POTATOES 
Culture. —Any good, well-drained, fibrous 
loam will produce Potatoes under right climatic 
conditions. For early Potatoes, which mature 
in eight to ten weeks from planting, the soil 
must be particularly rich. A rich clover sod, 
manured and broken the year before and 
planted to corn, beans, peas, oats, etc., is in 
best shape for giving a good yield of nice, 
clean Potatoes. Stable manure had better be 
applied to the land the year before. Sawco 
General Garden Fertilizer, at the rate of up to 
1,000 pounds to the acre if applied broadcast, 
or 400 to 600 pounds if applied mostly in the 
rows, may be used directly for the Potato crop. 
Open furrows 3 feet apart and 3 to 4 inches 
deep. Apply the fertilizer and run the furrower 
or small plow again in the furrow to mix the 
fertilizer with the soil and leave a mellow 
seed-bed. Then plant good-sized pieces, each 
containing not less than two or three eyes, 
15 inches apart in the furrows for early 
Potatoes, and 18 inches apart for late ones. 
Return the soil with a coverer, small plow or 
other suitable tool. About ii bushels or 4 bar¬ 
rels will plant an acre. A barrel contains 2^4 
bushels (150 pounds). 
SEMESAN Bel. It controls diseases of seed pota¬ 
toes, producing sprouts of healthy vigor, from which 
grow increased yields of clean, healthy plants and 
tubers. 4 ozs. 50 cts., lb. $1.75, 5 lbs. $8, 25 lbs

Early White Albino. This wonderful new early Potato is a
