POTATOES 
Potatoes do particularly well on sod-ground or 
pasture-land, where the turf has been freshly turned. 
Tubers are usually cut into two-eyed pieces; plant 
in April in furrows of good depth about 3 feet apart. 
Scatter a liberal quantity of manure or fertilizer 
along the drill, and set the seed from 10 inches to a 
foot apart in the row. Cover with 4 inches of soil, 
and cultivate frequently after the plants are up.

Zuccini delicious Italian Cucumber 
-- Squash. American travelers through 
Italy, where this tasty vegetable is featured as a

this to be the most delicious dish they have ever

the north of Italy, and the seed-supply is so zealously 
guarded that it seldom goes out of the country. We

picked when it is hardly the size of a small cucumber.
