Early Ohio Potato 
Our seed Potatoes are strictly Maine grown, 
Special price on large quantities. 
Culture. — Any good soil will produce Potatoes, 
but quality is much improved whfen produced on good 
sandy loam. Make furrows of good depth, three feet 
apart, scatter a liberal dressing of fertilizer in the 
drill. Cover slightly with earth and upon this set 
the seed Potatoes in hills one and one-half feet apart. 
If a very early crop is desired, it will be necessary 
to sprout the Potatoes before planting. Cut the Po¬ 
tatoes in pieces of the size desired and place in a 
warm light room for four days before required for 
planting in the open ground. 
Use Bordeaux mixture for blight and arsenate of 
lead for the Colorado beetle, or if, as is often the 
case both these conditions prevail, use the two in 
combination. We recommend Pyrox (Bowker’s) for 
this purpose knowing it to be effective, and we be¬ 
lieve it will also increase the crop and improve the 
quality.
