It is Just as Easy to Grow a Good CBQP — OF — POTATOES, CARROTS, TURNIPS, MANGOLDS, FLOWERS, FRUIT OR CORN, AS A POOR ONE, PROVIDING YOU GO ABOUT IT THE RIGHT WAY. VTEXT to having good seed, the most important consideration is the MANURE. Experience has proved that the best results are obtained by plant ing it with a good and liberal dressing of BONE MEAL, which is the most lasting of all Manures, not only increasing the yield in the first crop, but the good effects lasting in the ground to the third and fourth crops.
