remarkably long and narrow ; the shoots very luxuriant and 

 irregular, and not easily trained. 



The Gentleman, who gave me the cuttings of the Aromatic 

 Apple, desired me to notice to the Society, the Potatoe, in 

 which they are inserted, as it is the Potatoe that is univer- 

 sally cultivated for winter use in Cornwall, and from its excel- 

 lent qualities, is well deserving the attention of the Society. 

 This winter Potatoe is frequently planted in the same 

 ground that has borne an early crop of Potatoes . 



It is the practice of those who cultivate Potatoes in Corn- 

 wall, to get fresh seed every year, or every other year from a 

 granite soil, well knowing that the great increase in the pro- 

 duce, well justifies the additional trouble and the expense. 

 I have the honour to remain, 

 Dear Sir, 

 Your faithful humble servant, 



Christopher Hawkins.
