NEW SEEDLING-POTATOES. 



In fulfilment of our promise to introduce to the notice of our readers all 

 novelties in the horticultural world, we have from time to time figured many 

 new seedling-potatoes. 



Few are aware of the progress which has been made in improving this, 

 the most useful of vegetables. 



To raise seedling-potatoes is very easy ; but the chances are greatly 



Hill' 







against obtaining a new variety of value. Yet, in many cases, success has 

 followed well-directed experiment ; and the agricultural exhibitions of the 

 past year have shown how great the improvement of the new over old vari- 

 eties. Early Goodrich and Harrison are now too well known to need 

 description. Early Rose has made its mark, as its merits well deserve. 



We propose to figure during the ccming year many new varieties of 

 merit or promise ; and, the present monih, offer an illustration of Breese's 

 Prolific.
