of roOts produced from the seeds Of the
potato apple. Il
In the cultivation Of the potato the root
or tnber is alone used for seed. as the
plants from these are far more vigorous
and productive than those grown from the
true seed. or such as are found produced
BY the blossoms. For the producing new
varieties, however, recourse is bad to the
apples, and the seed from these planted in
beds will produce roots, from which new
varieties. may be grown at pleasure, and
il is in this way that most Of the best
modern sorts have been produced. To
attempt to enumerate all the varieties
known, would be a hopeless, not to say
useless task; as more than $50 are emu
merated in the Transactions of the High
land Society, many OF which are only
distinguished by su nice shades of diff.
ference as TO be wholly overlooked by the
common observer. In this country the
