New Potatoes. 
Paterson’s Bovinia, or Cattle-feeder Potato, ought to have been called Paterson’s Giant: a medium

20 tons, and with extra culture, 40 tons per acre 
American Early Rose, an extraordinary heavy cropper, and a fine looking potato when cooked. 
Twice it was cooked and placed before the Fnait Committee of the Roy'al Horticultural 
Society, and each time was rejected on the gi'ound of its objectionable flavour. This potato 
grown at our own experimental grounds, soil sandy loam, when cooked, had the same 
objectionable flavour as those placed before the Fruit Committee
