The authors of this book are especially fitted to write 
upon the potato. Professor Gilbert, as professor of 
plant breeding at Cornell, has made a careful study of 
potato breeding and varieties for several years. For- 
merly teacher of farm crops and director of agricultural 
extension work at the University of Maine, he has 
become thoroughly familiar with potato growing in the 
East, particularly in the famous Aroostook County 
region. Dr. Barrus is considered one of the best 
authorities on potato diseases in the country. The 
chapters he has contributed to the work deal with 
disease and its control.. Mr. Dean wrote the chapters 
on field practice. He is a successful commercial 
grower, and has given much attention to the different 
systems of potato growing throughout the United 
States.
