Origin Of Potato

The potato is native of elevated
districts of tropical and sub tropical
America. 1t has been found growing
wild in the Andes of South America
Mexico and. the Rocky Mountain
region of North America. The po-
tato was cultivated and used as food
long anterior to the discovery of
America by Europeans. 1t seems to
have been taken to Europe by the
Spaniards in the 10Th century, and
spread from Spain into the Neither
lands, Burgundy, and Italy, but only
to be cultivated in a few gardens as
a curiosity, and not for general use
as a food.
1t appears to have been taken to
Ireland from Virginia by Hawkins
in 1865; and to England by Sir
Francis Drake in 1856, without at
tracing much notice, till it was a
third time imported from America
by Sir Walter Raleigh.-By Mr..
Whitaker, in Adventure Magazine
