The Red Triumph is one of the most
popular varieties for those who expect
to grow for market as the potato Is
mere uniform and usually brings
better price in competition with other
varieties. The Irish CObbler and White
Star are often varieties of white pota-
toes besides the Peerless.
Eight, ten and twelve bushels OF

nlantings are made on 31a and 4 feet
rows and the pieces dropped about Il

are harvested.

VALUABLE LOAD OF HAY.

An incident that gives an idea of
the enormous growth of Toronto
since Sanford Fleming, the Scotch
man who played so important a part
in the developing of Canada, first set
foot on its streets nearly seventy
years ago, is told by Mr.. Lawrence J.
Burpee in "Sandford Fleming, En-
pire Builder"
Andrew Sanderson, farmer in
the township of York, took load Of
hay one autumn to Toronto to sell
in the open market. Finding no sale,
and unwilling to take the load back
with him over very heavy roads, he
offered it to the proprietor Of Elgln's
hotel on Yonge street on very easy
terms. The hotel keeper could i'll
spare the cash. and after some bar
gaining he offered Sanderson in pay
ment for the hay the vacant lot on
the northeast corner Of King and
Yonge streets. which Sanderson re-
luctantly accepted. That lot was
sold not long ago for a million and
a quarter dollars.
