The potatoes which are now grown in this country were de- 
rived from several sources, from England, and of late years from 
Bogota” in 1847, from Chili” in 1850, etc. 
Potatoes were grown in Virginia in 1609,” and are also men- 
tioned in 1648™ and 1650.” In 1683 Worlidge* says pota- 
toes are much used in Ireland and America, but their introduction 
into New England is said not to have been until 1719,” at Lon-
