are well up, thin to 2 or 3 inches apart in the row. 
Cultivate frequently. Parsnip seed is slow to ger¬

Varieties of Potatoes 
Within the last few years the Bliss Triumph has be¬ 
come very popular as an early red potato. It is gradu¬ 
ally replacing the Early Rose to a great extent, be¬ 
cause it is a little earlier and much more productive. 
Another feature about the Bliss Triumph is that they 
can be dug earlier than Early Rose for new potatoes. 
The Eastern Grown Early Pride is the only variety in 
our estimation that really produces more than others 
in this section. When planted from Eastern grown 
seed we do not believe there is a better variety for 
this section.
