ON POTATO-G RAFTING. 



. c 7 



I planted the above-named Potatos on April 15, when the graft 

 of Onwards on Hero showed sprouts decidedly greener than those 

 of the true Onwards ; and when I dug them np on August 9, 

 their haulm was not nearly so ripe as that of the latter, and their 

 produce, generally, for form, proved rounder than Onwards. The 

 Milky White grafted on the Fluke is the ouly other decided" con- 

 clusive evidence ; " and that is conclusive enough in the wrong di- 

 rection, the character, as well as the Potato, being quite spoilt. 

 In short, I may have gained (but I must wait another year to 

 prove it) an improvement by grafting the Onwards on York- 

 shire Hero ; and that I fear will prove, at the most, but a mere 

 pennyworth of Potato to a sack of trouble, though I shall be well 

 content if by the experiment I have added my mite to the science 

 of horticulture.
