been turned away from each side of the rows, little need be done except to work it back again 
Culture: For early Potatoes in 
the latitude of Norfolk plant the 
first suitable weather in February, 
and heavy manuring is absolutely 
essential. A second crop may be 
planted in July and August. Fur¬ 
rows 4 to 6 inches deep should be 
made 3 feet apart, and unless po¬ 
tato fertilizer has been broad¬ 
casted, it should be drilled in the 
furrows at the rate of 40 lbs. to 
100 yards, mixing it thoroughly 
with the soil. Drop the pieces 
about 12 to 15 inches apart and 
cover 3 or 4 inches. If planted 
early in February, they should be 
covered with 2 furrows. Late in 
March, when the sprouts have 
started but are still under the 
ground, the rows should be drag¬ 
ged to remove the excess of cov¬ 
ering and put the surface in good 
condition. After the dirt has

Irish Cobbler. (75 days). The most popular early potato in 
the South. It is a round potato and the flesh is white and of 
good quality. Our strain of this potato is very pure, showing 
practically no white blossoms. 5 lbs., 35c; 10 lbs., 60c; 15 lbs., 
75c, not prepaid. 
Bliss Triumph, or Red Bliss. (80 days). Although less used 
than formerly, this old extra early is still a favorite in cer¬ 
tain sections, especially eastern North Carolina. It is a sure 
and heavy cropper. 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 65c; 15 lbs., 80c, not 
prepaid. 
Green Mountain. (90 days). For the main crop this large 
oval-shaped, medium late potato, is probably the most satis¬ 
factory, as it is of exceptionally good table quality, and 
enormously productive, having few small tubers. 5 lbs., 40c; 
10 lbs., 65c; 15 lbs., 80c, not prepaid. 
Peach Blow. (90 days). An old favorite, for fall crop only, and 
planted from the middle of July to the middle of August. 
The skin is slightly tinged with pink, of an attractive appear¬ 
ance, and one of the best keepers, but of rather poor quality. 
Our seed is Northern grown. 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 65c; 15 lbs., 
80c, not prepaid. 
Rehoboth. (90 days). This variety, better known as “Hobo,” 
is becoming very popular for fall crop. It looks somewhat 
like the Cobbler, is a heavier yielder than the Peach Blow, 
and is of better quality. 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 65c; 15 lbs., 80c, 
not prepaid. 
Showing effect of treatment on “Green Mountain" 
100 per cent Rhizoctonia infected. To left, untreated, 
19 per cent clean and 190 bushels to acre. To right, 
treated, 89 per cent clean and 243 bushels to acre. 
Semesan Bel 
Insure high germination, reduce disease, and increase yield by using 
Semesan Bel. 
Scab, Russet Scab, Rhizoctonia, and Black-leg are the bugbears of every 
potato grower. 
The old-fashioned, time-taking method of disinfecting seed potatoes with 
mercuric bichloride or formaldehyde is now a thing of the past. One pound 
of Semesan Bel will treat 16 to 20 bushels of cut potatoes. It also possesses 
greater disease control properties, especially in respect to control of Rhizoc¬ 
tonia and seed-borne Scab. The “instantaneous dip” method of applying new 
Semesan Bel saves time and labor. Semesan Bel does not harm the seed pieces. 
SEMESAN BEL PRICES: 4 ozs., 50c; 1 lb., $1.65, postpaid. Not prepaid, 
5 lbs., $6.75; 25 lbs., $31.00. 
“Use Semesan Bel, and insure greater germination on your potatoes. 
RHUBARB or PIE PLANT 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 8 to 10 lbs. will plant an acre. 
Culture: Sow from the middle of March to middle of May, in deep rich ground, in drills a foot apart and % inch deep, and when 
well up thin to 6 inches apart. In the fall trench a piece of ground at least 2 spades deep, manuring 
plants out 4 feet apart each way, covering with leaves or coarse manure. It is best not to gather many of 
season, and in our Southern country it is rarely successful except in shady situations. Perhaps the most profitable plan for 
Southern growers is to buy the roots—as offered below—setting them out in November, March or April. 
Mvatt’s Victoria. (85 days). Very large, and although somewhat later than other varieties, the best for general use. For 
the home garden Ihe roots will be Lund much better than seeds. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; ^ lb., 40c; lb., $1.50, postpaid.
