Carman No. i Potato. Potato. French, Pomme de Terre. German, ^artoffel. Spanish, Patata. Culture.—To plant an acre, 8 bushels are required. If a very early crop is desired, start in small boxes of good soil; even stout paper bags have been successfully used. Place these in a hotbed or warm room from 4 to 5 weeks before required for outside. During this time shoots will start strong and vigorous, so that as soon as planted they will send out good roots and grow rapidly. In order to have best success in growing Potatoes, and to secure healthy, vigorous growth, and a crop free from rot, plant as early as the ground can be made ready. Select a good, rich soil, and plant in rows 3 feet apart and 1 foot apart in the rows. Keep the plants well hoed. If the potato beetle makes its appearance, the vines should be dusted with Paris green mixed with about 80 parts of plaster or flour ; or better still, mix the Paris green in water, one small tablespoonful to a pail, and apply with a watering pot. Be careful to sHr the mixture often, or the Paris green will settle to the bottom. Two or three applications will be found sufficient. New Queen.
