Raising Potatoes from Sprouts.

Brattleboro men are trying the raising
OF potatoes from sprouts and having
tried it in previous years are said to
be certain OF favorable results. G. H..
Pettee along in March placed potato
IN flower pot and after sprouts three
inches long had shot up, he broke. them
OH, placed each one in a separate recep-
tacle and continued to break off the
sprouts as they came out, although aft
er reasonable number had been used
he substituted another potato, as the
growing possibilities became weakened
with each cutting OF the same sprout
The transplanted sprouts continued their
growth and sent out strong roots, which
have now been set out in the open
ground Mr.. Pettee is authority for the
statement that one potato would furnish
enough cuttings for the potato supply
of an ordinary sized family. He tried
the same plan last year and, says it was.
an unqualified success.
G. Il. Allen, a seedman and florist,
grew potatoes in the same way AS years
ago, when new Seeding potatoes cost 81
a pound, and he used the cuttings for
the sake of seeing how many potatoes
could be raised from one pound of seed
lings. He has hundreds of potato
plants from cuttings now ready to be
planted in the field for this season.
