THE POTATO. 
A Select List of High-Class Potatoes. 
The number of fine varieties of Potatoes is so great, it has become a very serious matter what sorts to 
recommend our customers to grow. With the able assistance of our friend, Mr. Peter Me K inlay (whose name 
amongst potato growers is a household word, and whose extensive knowledge of every known variety, and whose 
sound judgment on the individual merits of Potatoes no one would think of questioning ) we passed in review all 
the sorts worthy of consideration, and made such a selection as, we have no hesitation in saying, is perfectly 
unique, inasmuch as each sort offered possesses all the qualities to be desired in a Potato, viz., handsome to the 
®y e , agreeable to the palate, and an abundant cropper. We may add, most of the varieties are from a famous 
Scotch seed farm, and this alone is a high recommendation, as it guarantees a thorough change, an indis- 
pensable condition to good potato culture ; no practice is so disadvantageous as that of growing from home-saved 
seed, year after year. 8> d
