A Big Consignment of Seed Potatoes
From Virginia.

From Virginia.
The largest lot of straight seed potatoes
ever brought into Savannah by rail at one
time, by one house, has just arrived by the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway,
and consists of twelve solid cars of Vir-
GINA second-crop seed potatoes.
This big block of seed is consigned to W.
D. Simkins, the largest dealer in fancy
seed potatoes in Savannah, and comprises
Barly Rose. Crown Jewel. Bliss Triumph
and other early varieties that are in favor
with the truck farmers of this section,
who plant for the early northern and west
ern markets.
The second crop of Virginia potatoes
which is planted almost entirely for seed
for the following spring, was almost a
failure this fall. and it was only by far
sightedness and the most strenuous eff
forts that Mr.. Sim1ins was able to secure,
probably the largest lot of selected seed
that comes out of Virginia this season as
many farmers in that state have not made
enough seed for their own planting.
Our farmers are certainly to be congrat-
ulated on Mr.. Simkins enterprise, which
has obtained for them the seed so we'll
adapted to our soil and which his sue
cessful experience for several seasons past
has demonstrated. answers the require
ments of those who want early crops and
large yields.
He will also OF course handle the best
and purest Maine seed potatoes, such as
the genuine 'Aroostock and Houlton," as
we'll as selected New York state stock.
Mr.. Simkins is also selling agent this
season for the well-known and reliable
fertilizers manufactured by the CONNER
cial Fertilizer Company. His advertise
ment in our special notice columns this
morning, will be found of interest to all
who plant or contemplate trucking this
-ad.

the governor OF the fortress would not

civil war in America have abundantly
proved that the cannon in fOTtrcs,cS.
