SEED POTATOES 
Maine-Grown 
CULTURE — Potatoes do particularly 
well on sod ground or pasture land, 
where the turf has been freshly turned. 
Tubers are usually cut into two-eyed 
pieces; plant in April in furrows of good 
depth about 3 feet apart. Scatter a lib- 
eral quantity of manure or fertilizer 
along the drill, and set the seed from 10 
inches to a foot apart in the row. Cover 
with 4 inches of soil, and cultivate fre- 
quently after the plants are up. Plant 
late crop July 1st to August 1st. Eight 
to 10 bushels will plant an acre. 
We can supply the two new varieties 
of Potatoes: Chippewa for early, and 
Katahdin for later. Both varieties 
have unusual merits, and were origi- 
nated by U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. 
Write for prices.
