POTATOS AT WISLEY, 1913. 



Sixty-five stocks of potatos were received for trial. These were 

 planted on April 21, in soil that had been deeply dug and moderately 

 manured during the previous winter. In nearly all the stocks the 

 growth was vigorous, in spite of a long period of drought ; they all 

 produced good crops, with little disease. In comparison with some 

 of the well-known varieties in commerce, there does not seem to be 

 much advance in the new varieties sent for trial. The Fruit and 

 Vegetable Committee examined the collection on three occasions, 

 and by reason of their good crop and handsome appearance ordered 

 the following varieties to be cooked, viz. : 



' Great Scot.' ' Surprise.' 



' Irish King.' ' Raynes Park White.' 



' Southern Star.' ' Western Hero.' 



F.C.C.=First-class Certificate. 

 A.M. = Award of Merit. 

 XXX = Highly Commended.
