V. COW-HORN POTATO. 



Pu 3 B. Fig. 1. 



This is a small elongated potato of purple color, and usually slightly bent or curved. It 

 is not in common use, but is esteemed as a very good baking potato. I have not been able 

 to analyze it, but I have given a figure which represents the variety perfectly. It is a 

 very good spring potato ; and those who are fond of cultivating singular kinds, will add 

 this to their number.
