Solanum Commersoni Violet 



THE BLUE POTATO OF 

 URUGUAY FOR WET SOIL 



Obtained by Mr. Labergerie in igoi, by 

 special selection, from the wild Solanum 

 Commersoni, growing on the shores of the 

 Mercedes river, near Monte- 

 video, and introduced in 

 France, the first time in 1767, by 

 the French botanist, Mr. Com- 

 merson. 



The advantages of this new 

 Pot.ato are as follows. First : 

 It is more productive than any 

 other Potato. Second : It is an 

 excellent table variety, a sure 

 and heavy cropper, of good 

 flavor when cooked, baked or 

 boiled. Third: It is especially 

 adaptable to wet, very wet and 

 even to marshy, boggy soil ; 

 the wetter the soil the greater 

 the yield. Fourth : It resists 

 all diseases, even cannot be at- 

 tacked by the phytoph- 

 tora. 



Its yield has been de- 

 clared, by trials made by 

 the Academie des Scien- 

 ces, to be 36 tons, or 720 

 cw't. per acre. Certain 

 plants have produced 

 more than 12 pounds of 

 Potatoes per square foot. 

 Kpk. $1, pk. 51.75, bus. 

 $5. Price for large quan- 

 tities on application. 



The leading prizes 

 for collections of 

 vegetables, given at 

 the Summer and Fall

 Geneva, Morris- 

 town, Madison, N. J.,
