POTATOS AT WISLEY, 1909. 



One hundeed and two stocks of Potatos were received for trial, 

 and all were planted on April 14. The whole collection made good 

 growth, and the majority of the varieties cropped well, but owing to the 

 cold and very wet season, the crops were not generally heavy, and 

 there was more disease than usual. The ground had been deeply dug 

 and well manured, and no Potatos had been grown on the same ground 

 before. The Fruit and Vegetable Committee examined the collection on 

 two occasions, and by reason of their good appearance, heavy crop, and 

 freedom from disease, ordered the following to be cooked : —
