SECOND SIZE POTATOES. We have put in a cut of a plate of "second size" potatoes, not to show the form but the size, which one may plainly see by comparing the tubers with the tape line- Xow just a little about planting second size stock. We have planted second size several times and have sometimes been able to see no difference in the crop and sometimes there has appeared to be a slight difference in favor of the large tubers. Many growers prefer the seconds because it costs less for seed, claiming they are equally good. We think this is true when applied to a' single crop, provided the second size seed was grown from large tubers. To continue planting the small tubers over and again from the same stock we think would be disastrous. For this reason we plant only choice large tubers to grow seed stock, (except it be in some special case) desiring to give all possible strength to the crop produced. Bear this in mind when ordering. The second size potatoes offered are the few small tubers one always gets in any crop; not small because poor stock was planted. When second size stock is sold out, which is usually before the No. 1, we will fill orders with the same value of No. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original J.
