POTATOES POTATO CULTURE
We have sought out several of the best potato varieties for your gar- den. They are simple to grow and will have the taste you can only enjoy by growing your own.
Our potato eyes are cut from certified seed potatoes, which assures that they will be high yielding and top quality. We supply large seed pieces (eyes) that will produce vigorous plants. They are carefully packed and guaranteed to reach you in good condition. These eyes will be ready to plant when you receive them. Full planting instruc- tions will be included with your order.
We ship a package containing 25 eyes, which plants a 25' row. Shipments begin March 1st in the South and continue through April 30th in the North.
We also offer some varieties with whole potatoes. These certified potatoes should be cut about a week before planting and each piece should have two eyes or you can simply plant the potato whole. Complete instructions are provided.
