Joe Lyman, Randoipn. vt., writes: "We are perfectly satisfied with your ;. THE "ENORMOUS ; We tested this new seedling for two seasons in our trial grounds. Our iield notes read as follows: "Late, vines very healthy, stalks very stout and tall. Crop remarkable in quan- tity; potatoes very large, skin very ; Our experience led us to investigate its merits as tested by others, and the results were so uniformly in its favor, that we now intro- duce the Enormous to our customers as a variety that can be raised at a decided profit over the many now on the market. In 18t)5 Mr. Manum raised 604 bushels on a measured acre, on alight, dry, sandy loam, with a gravel sub-soil, and the next season averaged 533 on three measured acres. The land had been four years in grass; 400 pounds of potato fertilizer were used in the furrows when planted, and 200 with a little ashes applied in the rows afterwards, and cul- tivated in. It needs thin planting, not more than two good eyes each 15 inches. The Pennsylvania Agricultural College reports that the Enormous yielded the best of thirty varieties tested, at rate of 480 bushels per acre, of which per cent, were merchantable, large and smooth.
