there be too many stems at one root you would 
probably get a great number of Potatos, but they 
would be small. In some cases it would be advisable

behave on any particular soil. In field culture 27 in. 
are allowed between every two lines.

TESTIMONIAL 
TO 
Mr. WILLIAM DdAN^, 
Birmingham. 
The following gentlemen have formed themselves inta a 
Committee to get up a Testimonial and present ilie same to 
Mr. William Dean on his 70th Birthday: Messrs. Henry 
Cannell, Swanley; William Cuthbertson. Roihrsay; Andrew 
Irvine, Tighnabruaich ; John Laing, London ; W. B Latham, 
Birmingham; Paul L'ltz, Wolverhampton; George M'Leod, 
London; William Robinson, London; Robert Sydenham, 
Birmingham; Rev. D. R. Williamson, Kirkmaiden; J. Wright, 
London; and B. Wynne, London. 
Mr. Dean’s long and disinterested services to Horticulture 
are so well known that it is quite unnecessary to refer to them 
at length. His Seventieth year finds him vei y much incapaci¬ 
tated for work, especially during the autumn and winter months, 
and such a tesiimonial will be, not only a well-deserved recog¬ 
nition of a life-time s work, but a welcpme means of procuring 
a few additional comforts in liis old age. 
Subscriptions will be gladly received and acknowledged by 
any of Commitiee named above.
