From Burlington, Vt. Received through Prof. William Stuart, of the Agricul-

Tubers grown from stock obtained through Dr. Edouard Heckel, of Marseille, 

 France. ' ' Heckel is not at all of the opinion that tiolanum commersonii should replace 

 our common potato; but if it is adapted to swampy locations it would become very 

 valuable to us, and possibly nonbitter hybrids might be produced for poorly 

 drained soils by cross fertilization." (L. Wittmack, Gartenflora, 54: 452, 1905.) 

 (See note to No" 10324.) 



17054. Solaxum cohmersoni. Aquatic potato. 



From Santa Rosa, Cal. Received through Mr. Luther Burbank, November 28, 

 » 1905, and February 10, 1906. 



Tubers grown from No. 10324. "Has rather small vines, produces an enormous 

 amount of flowers all summer and a reasonable amount of seed balls, which. how T - 

 ever, unless pollenized from some other variety never produce a seed. Owing to its 

 wandering disposition, not extra quality, and not being very productive it will never 

 become popular. I judge from what I have read in the French papers that the bluish 

 variety is better. ' ' ( Burbank. )
