REPORT OF MR. AXCUS MACEAY 

 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 16 



481 



A few of the early varieties did not germinate evenly and the yield was poor. The 

 medium early potatoes have given the best returns for the past two years. There was 

 no rot in any of the varieties. 



The cultivation of the land before planting was the same as for field roots. They 

 were plai-tted on May 20, on clay loam, and dug October 3.
