How to Get a Stand

Pimento. This chemical when applied 
to the cut potatoes causes a 
complete quick sprouting by 
drying them out, consequent¬ 
ly you can use your own May 
dug potatoes after they have 
been out of the ground for three weeks, and by treat¬ 
ing with Ethylene Chlorhydrln you will get a perfect 
stand by Sept. 1st, and consequently a sure crop. The 
treatment is simple and inexpensive. Complete direc¬ 
tions for using come with the material.
