PROPAGATION OF SWEET POTATOES.

In order to demonstrate the ACCESSIBILITY
of occasionally having recourse to the tuber
in the propagation of sweet potatoes, and the
bad economy of continuing, year after year,
to plant vine cuttings from crops which have
been themselves grown from vine cuttings,
some trials were in 1905, and again in 1906,
carried out at one of the Cuban Experiment
Station.
In those tests, sweet potatoes of the same
variety were grown on adjacent plots, which
received identical treatment IN al respects.
In one case, however, the crop was grown
