POTATOES. 
Patatas — Kartoffeln — Pommes de Terre. 
the soil best adapted to the production of fine and clean tubers is a naturally good friable loam, rather 
light than otherwise, and free from stagnant water. In such soil the produce is abundant and the 
quality good. Ihin sandy soils also produce well-flavored potatoes, but of course to obtain quantity 
ol produce, the assistance of manure is necessary. The worst soils for the Potato are those which are 
naturally wet and heavy.
