It is absolutely senamery to give it an artldciiel heat to stir up and

where it is sown must be kept moderately moist, but as soon as the
weds see up, it may be watered more plentifully if there be an rain.
"when. in the *rinsing, or towards the end of the first fortnight
ettlry, the plants have remelted the height of four inches, and previous
to the appearance of the young tubercles, they are pricked out and
irallaPiellek in a belt and fertile mil, at the same distance at which
potatoes are usually set. It is proper to perform this operation during
Woody weather, or immediately after rain.
' It is important besides to plant the young pleat two inches lower
than the depth they occupied on the bed, thus the formation of new
roots will be promoted ; they spring from the neck of the plant, and
it is from those roots that the finest and most numerous tubercle* are

tubercles, they will km • greet portion of their power of production.
" Potatoes planted be thn way require to be earthed earls and without
excess; bemuse if the Reason at which the plants hare Men pat In the
open sir Is not too unfavourable to them, they will not be long ere
they grow extremely vigorous, and then the surface of the ground
which bears them is crowed in all directions with an infinity of tender
emir., which must be unavoidably, destroyed by earthing the potatoes
late, and at too great a height. Thereby the formation of the tuberelea
is put back of a fortnight or three weeks, and the crop is leavened.
"l finally, I must observe that potatoes thrive best as a rich sandy
land, and deeply ploughed.
I am, sir, yours very respectfully,
