" I am sending you to-day a small lot of the native wild potato, of which it is 

 extremely difficult to get tubers, on account of the very short growing season 

 we had this year. The tubers could not start growth at the accustomed time 

 on account of prolonged drought in early summer, and it appears that they 

 suffered later on through the extremely wet weather of the latter part of 

 summer." ( Schultz. )
