134 On raising Potatoes* 



the ensuing season, and spread upon the corn ground after 

 it is broken up ; by which means you will obtain a three- 

 fold advantage from the manure, as it will not only be an 

 advantage to the corn crop, but will add considerably to 

 the ensuing crop of oats or wheat, or even both. 



Upon the other bed of earth I raised turnips and ra- 

 dishes enough for the use of my family, and more than 

 a bushel of beets ; which being transplanted from my 

 garden did not attain to a remarkable size, as they were 

 very short ; a transplanted beet seldom if ever growing 

 a greater length than they are at the time of transplanting. 

 In addition to the turnips and beets, I had one hill of 

 pumpkins, from three seeds, which bore one hundred 

 and four pumpkins of different sizes. Seventy of these 

 came to perfection, the smallest of the seventy being 

 about the size of a common iron tea ketde. 



Respectfully yours, Sec. 

 John Linton.
