1t is a Seeding of Western Penn.
sylvania, from the banksof Neshannock
Greek, in Mercer County-hence its
name. am native of Western
Pennsylvania and have been familiar
with this potato from boyhood. twas
first made known about fifty years
ago, and was so highly valued, that
many persons took it over the noun
tains in their sadle-bags, on horseback,
for seed. In that way, it was intro
duced into the vicinity of Pittsburg,
by VIM. Anderson, who took it from
the farm where it originated.
In the year 1892, settlement was
made on the waters of the Shenango,
Ncshannock and Mahoning, principal
ly by Scotch and Irish. The soil and
climate were favorable to the growth
ofpotatocs, and those from thatregion
