Bank manager grows ‘very fine’ potatoes
A VERY fine sample of potatoes has been brought under “The Standard’s” notice by Mr A. E. Lasslett.
These potatoes, grown merely as a hobby for private use by Mr Lasslett at the State Savings Bank, Frankston, were of the Carmen variety, and two weighed about 2½ lbs each, whilst the whole plot is likewise good.
The seed was not prepared or inoculated in any way, which is further proof of what the soil is really capable of in this district.
MR Tom Perridge, the Tooradin sportsman, had another successful day at the Mornington gymkhana with his fine mare, Miss Maori.
