Native Home of the Potato.

The impression is very general that the
only home of the potato is in South
America. This is an error, and arose no
doubt from the historic fact that it was
first brought to the notice of civilized
men from that country. No doubt it was
the cultivated tuber that Raleigh took
frc m there to Europe, and lack evidence
to prove that it was ever found there in
Its wild state Authors seem to have
taken little interest in the inquiry as to
where its native home is, but have abun-
dant evidence to prove that it grew wild
high up in the northern temperate zones.
More than thirty years ago, Mr. Forsyth,
of st. Louis, who had been for several
years hunter and trapper in the Rocky
Mountains, told me that he once camped
in sheltered valley in the mountains, a
considerable distance north of the line of
New Mexico, and that he soon discovered
that his camp was in the midst of a con-
siderable field of vines, which he readily
recognized as those of the potato and
with his hunting knife he dug a good
supply, which he boiled and found them
a rich accompaniment to his venison,
which was almost his exclusive diet when
IN the mountains. As this camp was on
fine beaver stream he remained in it some
time, subsisting largely on the wild pO-
tatoes, which he found both nutritious
and healthy. He described them as very
small, the largest not bigger than a hazel
nut and attached together by short
connecting cords, considerable
number in string. We sometimes see
several of the cultivated potatoes thus
connected.
About 1850 l was shown some potatoes
near Lisbon. Kendall county, in this
State, which 1 was assured, were grown
from wild potatoes found in the Rocky
Mountains, west of Tucson, brought by
volunteers on their return from the Mex
lean campaign. They had been grown
for several successive years, increasing in
size every year till now they were of a
fair size and good flavor 1 procured a
bushel, which | planted with fair results
but as they were not as good as the pink
eye, which was then the favorite potato
throughout this country, did not con
tinue their cultivation l investigated
the origin of that potato and became sat
isfed that its claim was well founded.
The late Col. W. B. Warren, of Jackson
vile, ILL.,, assured me that about sixty
years ago he found the wild potato grow
ing on the banks of the Ohio river, and
described them as much the same as
those observed by Mr.. Forsyth.
