The Abc Of Potato Culture Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The ABC of Potato Culture It is just eight years ago this month since the first edition of this book was printed. In revising it now I am really surprised to see how many things there are that I want to change a little. My experience has come from many seasons' work in the iield, and much study. Really, the best of my life_has been spent in this line; but still there are some points that I wish I had two or three more years' experience on before writing these pages. Thus it will always be, how ever; and long before this edition is sold out, readers will find it behind the times on some point, doubtless. There will be little found in these pages that the writer has not given to the public in substance, through the columns of the papers for which he has written, such as The Country Gentleman, Ohio Farmer, Practical Faimer, Rural New -yorker, National Siockmcm and Farm Journal. The object of this book is to get it together into compact, convenient shape for reference, and corrected to date.

This special edition of 'The ABC of Potato Culture' was written by T.B. Terry, and first published in 1893, making it well over a century old. The book covers topics including Soils and Their Preparation, All About Plowing, Manures and Their Application, What Varieties Shall We Raise?, Selection and Care of Seed, Cultivation, and more.

Excerpt from The Potato in Field and Garden Although a subject of general interest, the literature dealing with potato culture is very limited, and most of it is hardly In accordance with modern practices. It is only fair, however, to give credit to the large seed firms for the useful information they have circulated on the subject, as well as for the substantial aid they have given growers by the introduction of new varieties of potatoes which possess so many valuable features. My thanks are due to them for the illustrations Of types of potatoes which they have kindly supplied; also to those implement makers who have placed their illustrations at my disposal.
