fruiting potato plants are now being
raised.
With them have been planted num-
Der Of potato tubers in the usual way
and the latter have grown much more
rapidly than the plants which have de-
veloped from the seeds. The object in
seeking to produce potato seed again
is that crossing Of strains can be secur-
ed in this way, leading to more
wholesome condition of the plant.
When propagation is only by the roots
there is no chance for crossfertilization
and the same strain of potato will in
time give out. The experiment is
being conducted under the direction of
Assistant Professor John w. Hotson,
Of the department of botany.
