THE GARDENING WORLD 
March 4, 1905. 
ail'd until ready for exhibition, but others do not, and we do not 
think this is necessary. We should advise you to roll each 
tuber separately in a piece of tissue paper, which would preserve 
the surface of the skin from being bruised, and also help to main¬ 
tain the fresh colour of the Potato which it has when lifted from 
the ground. We do not see any necessity for a second washing. 
We should advocate the use of a soft sponge for the final wash¬ 
ing of the tubers, so as to remove every particle of soil, which 
may be a little difficult in the case of those having rough skins. 
Some exhibitors have used milk for the final washing for the 
purpose of giving the skins a cleaner and whiter appearance, 
but we doubt if this is really necessary. It is an art which re¬ 
quires a considerable amount of experience, so that if you do 
not succeed perfectly at the beginning you need not be dis¬ 
appointed, but continue to gain experience and also information 
from your friends who are exhibitors. It is the small details 
which often tell in finally getting the Potatos to present a clean 
appearance.
