MORE ABOUT POTATOES 

 Alice G. McCloskey 



Sometime during the year I want every boy and girl to place a potato 

 on the desk and to write to Mr. Tuttle answers to the following questions. 

 In your letter make a drawing of the potato that you have selected. 



1. How do potatoes differ in size and shape? 



2. How can you tell that the potato is an enlarged part of the stem 

 instead of a root ? 



3. Ask your teacher how you can find out for yourselves whether there 

 is starch in potatoes.
