Gfim Exr^Essiy Foi^ seed. 
Ten bushels cut tubers will plant 
one acre. 
The potato, like all 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 broad" 
cast over the hills and ploughed in—th® 
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 four inches deep.
