\ PorATo TEsuNG.--By q happy coniuuc-
ton, as the astrologers would say, quite a
number of persons interested in potato culture
happened to be in New York early in Jan
uary, and Mcssrs. B. H. Bliss 4 Son, the
well known seedsmen, awaited themselves Of
the opportunity to give a potato feast to a
party which included those above referred to
and several of the agricultural press Mr..
Breeze was present, and with his new potatoes.
Mr. b. is the originator Of the early Rose,
and has some new varieties Of great promise
Single potatoes of one Of his varieties have
sold at enormous prices OF one Of these he
sold one tuber for $50. At the feast alluded
to, sundry valuable specimens were served
boiled and roasted but we noticed that calls
for a few raw were passed UNDECIDED. We
cannot give full report Of the discussion,
which elected a great many valuable facts,
but briefly give the results OF the speci-
mems tested, the Early Rose was unanimously
declared the best Brcezes prolific stood
number two by a small majority; Brezee's
King Of the Earlies number three; and Gil
max was number four. This vote was solely
on the merits Of the potatoes as they appeared
on the table, and had no reference to product
Wenoss. Breezes King of the Earies is said
to have been dug before fully matured, to
save II from being stolen. Climax had eyi.
IDENTIFY been badly kept, as it had the flavor
Of potato that had been exposed to the air
and light The early Rose was Of the high
est quality, and all the testimony was in ia.
yor of its great productiyeuess and oarliness.

the railway station and adjoining towns they

how valuable and comparatively cheap are
the aids which good reading brings to him.

New Potatoes.
or the several persons who have turned
their attention to the rasingof new varieties,
none have been more successful than the late
Rev. Chauncey +. Goodrich Of Utica New
York, who. during the FIRST fifteen years that
he devoted 20 this subject raised over six
thousand seedlings Out Of all these, not
more than one out Of a thousand was really
worth preserving, and Of the few which he
brought to public notice, the Early Goodrich
as an early variety, and the Harrison as o.
late or winter variety, are now most generally
esteemed Mr. Albert Breeze, of Horton
vile, Vermont Mr. u. S. IIciIron, of Utica,
New York, and Mr. A. W. Harrison, of
Philadelphia. have gone largely into expert
mcutiug in Che production Of new varieties
We append short history and description of
some Of the latest aud most popular wrie-
tics:-
