FIG. 10. POTATO FRUIT. NATURAL SIZE. 



The plants in the two plots were up about the same time, but 

 owing to the wet season and late planting on undrained land, were 

 not vigorous. They were cultivated three times and sprayed twice 

 with Paris green. Tip burn and Paris green injury combined to 

 kill the plants very early. All plants on the two plots died at prac- 

 tically the same time. 



Each potato planted produced from six to twenty tubers, but 

 these were quite small, few being of marketable size. The tubers 

 from the low protein plot were somewhat larger than those from 

 the high protein plot.
