We ask attention to the following extracts from letters of 

 those celebrated horticultural authors, Charles Downing, Esq., 

 and F. R. Elliott, Esq. 



Charles Downing, Esq., says [March 17, 1869) : 



" I have nothing to add to my former views of the Chinese Potato. 

 It is still free from disease, perfectly hardy, remaining in the ground 

 during winter, very prrductive, and, to my taste, equal, if not superior, 

 to any potato I have seen. Those of three years' growth often weigh 

 eight, ten and twelve pounds each." 



F. R. Elliott, Esq., writes [Feb. 25, 1869): 



"About the Chinese Yam, I only wonder our people do not take 

 hold of it. Once fairly understood, the Potato would be nowhere." 



The Descriptive Pamphlet, bj the late Wm, R. Prince, M.D., 

 LL.D., will be sent to those enclosing Ten Cents. 



3Iake remittances in ChecJcs or Post-Offlce Orders, if
