A new agricultural wonder made It's appearance
here last week IN the shape Of what Is called the
Peachb0w Potato 4 whole cargo Of them ar
I
from seed originated b. Mr.. John Il. Sears of New
York. II seems that Mr.. Sears las, Year had a
large quantity of there potatoes TO dispose of for
seed, and to induce farmers 70 purchhS" and plant.
he engaged To give go cents per bshel Tor all the
product. Many farmers in the river counties of
New-Jersey accordingly purchased. and some
$1,000 bushels We're raised the present season.
The merit of the new article Is IN It's great pr0duc-
tyencss, combined with lis being really desirable
edible. An acre IN Burlington County, planted
with three and half barrels oi seed. yielded 3E3
bushels of potatoes. and two acres IN Salem County,
planted with five barrels of seed. yielded 500 bush
els. The average product is $50 bushels per acre.
II is said the variety succeeds better in ewIeFsey
and Pcnnsy hania than in New-lorh. and that
where the farmers in the former within reach
of marl the product is very large and the quality
very superior. The cargo received here met with
quick sale at good prices, and il is quite certain
that the new potato has obtained so strong
foohold among the farmers, that no further coax
ing will be required to insure It's continued cult
