B. G. Culver of that city with the
propagation Of vine which he calls
the potamato. It grows potatoes under
ground. in the usual fashion, and bears
tomatoes at the top. This result has
been arrived at after series of expert,
ments lasting through twenty-one
years, and is pronounced to be sue
cess, though the method employed is
not stated. It is thought to be by
bridizing the seed ball of the potato
with the other plant. Of course if
each part Of the double function of the
new plant is performed as productive
ly as are the single ones there is gain
of 100 per cent, and on the principle
that "he who makes two blades OF
grass" ETC., the Doctor must be called

mains to be seen. Such experiments
