four or five inches in diameter. A dark
colored hyacinth glass is suitable and
pretty holder for the potato: but CON-
mon glass fruit-can or small earthen jar
will do. Fill the vessel with rain water
and stand the potato in the mouth of it,
allowing only two or three inches of the
potato to go down into the water. Set it
in warm, bright place to sprout, filling
up the holder with water as fastas it evap-
crates. Probably a great many sprouts
will start at once or in quick succession;

your vine will, by so doing, he much Ion ger
