POTATOES
Potatoes like rich soil but no fresh manure.
Work a potato fertilizer into the rows with
the hoe. Set the cut tubers in drill about six
inches deep, with a piece every 15 inches. It
is a g-ood plan to fill in the drill with three
Inches of soil, then to apply fertilizer and fill
In the rest of the soil. Tubers should be cut
Jnto pieces with two eyes and each piece
phould be as large as possible. Early potatoes
are planted in April, later crops in June.
The familiar potato bug can be kept away by
the use of Arsenate of Lead or Pyrox, and for
blight Bordeaux -Mixture or Pyrox.
The price of potatoes is subject to change
as the season advances, although we adhere
to the catalogue prices as much as possible.
Potatoes are shipped at purchaser's risk.
All our potatoes are sold by weight (60
lbs. to the bushel).
Plant 10 bushels cut tubers to the acre.
