244 THE VEGETABLE CULTIVATOR. 



this potato may be advantageously raised on the 

 same piece of ground in the course of the year. 



2. Broughton Dwarf, so called from a village in 

 Cheshire, where it was first raised. It has for a 

 long series of f years been called the early frame, to 

 which it is entitled, and is nearly equal to the ash- 

 leaved kidney for producing two crops in the course 

 of the year, on the same piece of ground. 



3. Foxe's Seedling, round shape, a prolific bearer, 

 growing to a larger size than either of the two 

 first sorts : when cut it has a yellow cast, and is 

 much cultivated for the London markets. 



4. Manchester Red, similar in quality to the 

 Broughton Dwarf, though not so much cultivated 

 for the London market, and in the western part of 

 England. 



5. Early Champion, a very excellent early po- 

 tato, and a good bearer ; its only fault is that the 

 larger roots are apt to get hollow in a moist sea- 

 son, if left till autumn, but its other good qualities 

 fully make amends for this defect. This and Foxe's 

 Seedling take the lead at market. 



6. Early Manley, a very excellent potato, a 

 great bearer, and one of the first for a principal 

 crop, for use late in autumn and early in winter. 

 The above six varieties, if true, ought never to 

 blossom. 



7. Shaw's Early, very similar to the Early Manley 

 and Champion, one of the first rate for general use. 

 The three last sorts are recommended to the cot- 

 tager and market gardener, as they come early, and 

 are generally of a large size. 



8. White Lancashire Kidney, is very mealy, and
