DOUBLE DECKER POTATOES.
Connecticut Farmers Plants Bear
Tubers Above and Below Ground.


Tubers Above and Below Ground.
Samuel Wilson of Wolcott, near Wa
terbury, Conn, is raising potatoes both
above and below ground on the same
vine as 4 result of two years of ex-
perimenting.
A few weeks ago on looking over his
new potato plants he saw little bud
like protuberances growing out from
the bases of the leaves These buds
developed into well formed and good
sized potatoes of the same kind as those
growing at the roots of the plants.
The bush potato is cross between
the Beauty of Hebron potato and the
Delaware. Those above ground grow
from four to eight on a plant. one at
the base of each leaf Food experts
report the hybrid TO be far from nu-
tritious than the Irish or sweet POI
tato and much more easily grown.
