may not be known to every person who raises
potatoes to sell, that in the N Y markets, there
is one half difference in the price. This is not
always owing to the superiority of one variety
over another, but the fancy or preference ofthe

prefer the Carter, the black, Diceman's seeding,
blue noses, ladys fingers, &c, all of which have
their excellencies, and when brought to market
by themselves, will always be sure to find a
ready sale but when mixed one with the other,
many housekeepers will not buy them at all.
We had many orders last spring for particular
kinds of seed potatoes, and, in many instances
had much trouble. In one or two cases, we
were obliged to sort out the kinds wanted, in the
hold of vessel. We cannot too earnestly en-
