BERMUDA.

The ..:9ermudian publishes a number of par agraphs
which ii.:2ow that Bermuda is " coming out tit rong
as a po to to-producing country, and that she !is now
actively competing with native growers in flit) New
York n market, one of the cheapest and most extensive
vegetable, markets in the world, in the articles of po-
tatoes, 'Croions, and tomatoes. This is certainly' a new
turn to West India industry. One of the par, 'graphs
mentions the superior quality of the potato, as yell as
the abuxtdant return from seed planted. A small por-
tion of t be crop has reached other colonies (Triiiidad,
for exam ple), and the improvement in the quality of
the arti.c le, which was formerly good, but rattier waxy,
has het :n the subject of general remark. We sin-
cerely trust this potato-growing enterprise nu iy be
success fill ; and though we doubt the possibility of
the Burmudians .finding a sufficiently remunel -alive
market in the sea board cities of the United S Cates,
where !?;ices at times rule very low, they may cer.:
tainly I :cant upon all the West India colonies as cus•
towers, ,at rates which will insure them a very consi-
derable .annual revenue from this edible. Teer 3 are
several iimtances of planters reaping fifteen to s aven-
teen bin Lela from one bushel of seed, arid ten
bushels I,:ora one of seed may be mentioned as a, com-
mon occlirrence.
