POTATOES 
GROWN EXPRESSLY FOR SEED IN MAINE OR PRINCE EDWARD 
ISLAND 
Peck will plant 100 foot row. Ten bushels cut tubers will plant 
1 acre. 
The Potato 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. 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 3 feet apart, cover 
lightly with soil about 4 inches deep. 
Beauty of Hebron. Slightly flesh colored skin with pure white 
flesh; very productive and of the finest quality.

Dibble's Russet. This is the best main crop Potato in cultivation. 
The tubers are round to oblong in shape, of good size, with white 
flesh and covered with russet skin. The quality when cooked can¬ 
not be excelled. It also has great disease-resistant and blight- 
proof properties.

ductive, skin shaded rose color.
