Willard Potato. 



sap of the vine will raise up the bud from its proper position on the stock, 

 forming the same warty excrescence as though grafted by the other methods 

 previously referred to. We would here remark, in the case of out-door 

 vines, it is best, if it be possible, to leave a few green leaves to draw up 

 sap above the grafts. jfohn Ellis.

WILLARD POTATO. 



A SEEDLING from Early Goodrich, raised by Mr. C. W. Gleason of Mas- 

 sachusetts in 1863. In form and size it very closely resembles its parent, 

 while it is equal if not superior to it in productiveness. In color it is of 

 a fine rose-red, covered with numerous dottings of a dull white, with occa- 



sional splashings of a yellowish-white. The flesh is white. In earliness 

 it matures just after Early Goodrich, and ranks as medium-early. 



Grown side by side with the Early Goodrich this season, I find it to be 

 equally free from rot. I think tlie vines are rather larger than those of 

 Early Goodrich. In quality, equal to that variety. 



I give the above as the result of one season's experience with the Wil- 

 lard, with a crop of about forty bushels. James y. II. Gregory.
