POTATOES 
GROWN EXPRESSLY FOR SEED IN MAINE OR PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND 
Peck will plant 100 foot row. Ten bushels cut tubers will plant 1 acre. 
The Potato can be grown with varying success on soils of all kinds and in all conditions of fer¬ 
tility, but the soil best suited to it is a sandy loam. Manure is applied either in rows or hills or 
broadcast over the hills and ploughed in. In highly enriched soils the plants are more liable to dis¬ 
ease than when grown in soil that is naturally good. Plant as early in Spring as the ground can be 
had in fair working order, in hills or ridges, about 3 feet apart, cover lightly with soil about 4 
inches deep.
