MAEHUALl.’S MATCHLESS SEEDS 
P O T A T O E S . 
GROWN EXPRESSLY TOR SEED. 
Ten bushels cut tubers will plant one acre. 
The potato, like the robust-growing vegetables, can be grown with varying success on soils of 
all kinds and in all conditions of fertility, 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—the latter in most 
cases being preferable. In highly enriched soils the plants are more liable to disease 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 three feet apart, cover lightly with soil, about 4 inches 
deep.
