POTATOES WITH A STRANGE 

 HISTORY 



These are potatoes grown on a vine 

 on whose stalk a tomato top had been 

 ingrafted. The potato leaves were 

 unable, apparently, to supply just the 

 right kind of material in abundance for 

 the making of the best varieties of 

 potatoes, but they made a creditable 

 effort nevertheless. Considering that 

 no tomato vine had ever grown a potato 

 at all before, the result might be said 

 to be notable. These were produced 

 about 1880.
