POTATOES. 



One hundred and eleven varieties of potatoes were tested on the farm during 

 the past season ; of these, forty varieties were grown in such small quantities that 

 returns are not available this year. 



All were planted on 23rd May, in rows 3 feet apart, and 1 foot apart in the 

 row, and all were dug on 12th October. 



The following list of twenty-four varieties were selected from among the most 

 promising of those grown at the Central Experimental Farm ; the quality of nearly 

 all of them was found to be good, and a number of them have under the circum- 

 stances given fair returns.
