Potato Exneriments.

Experiments to find the earliest kind
of potatoes among Six Weeks, Polaris,
New Queen, Burpee's Extra Early, Ear
ly Vermont and Triumph prove: 1.
That Six Weeks has the shortest season
Of growth, but the others were six inches
above ground and hoed before it was
visible, although all were planted April
30 and equally sprouted in light room
before planting 2. That EARLY Yer
mont sets tubers as early as any, which
get large enough to eat as soon as 9TH
ers, but keeps growing after others are
dead and yields more than three times
as much, with the exception of Tri-
umph, which is not fit to eat till the
tops are dead. 8. Polaris is the best ear
ly for quality, Triumph for market and
Early Vermont for an all around earli-
est potato. 4. That, three years out Of
four, Early Vermont, planted very ear
ly and unsprouted, even though the soil
is clayey and the season rainy, will not
rot, but will come up soon enough to be
