POTATOES. 
Patatas—Kartoffeln— Pommes de Terre. 
The soil best adapted to the production 
of line and clean tubers is a naturally 
good friable loam, rather light than other¬ 
wise, and free from stagnant water. In 
such soil the produce is abundant and the 
quality good. Thin sandy soils also pro¬ 
duce well-flavored Potatoes, but of course 
to obtain quantity of produce, the assist¬ 
ance of manure is necessary. The worst 
soils for the Potato are those which are 
naturally wet and heavy.
