Reports from actual field t^sts for the past twenty years verify Prof. Bailey s experiment. The following letter from Prof. L. H. Bailey, Horticulturist of the Cornell Experiment Station and Professor of Horticulture in Cornell University, was published in the American Garden for No- vember, 1889. Influence of Latitude upon Potatoes. The following test, which is one of many researches which the writer has undertaken for the purpose of determining how far latitude influences vegetation, is interesting in this connection. Last spring a half bushel of Pennsylvania-growu Early Rose potatoes was secured from a potato ware- house of Philadelphia, and another half bushel was obtained from George W. P. Jerrard of Maine. These samples were placed in a moist, light cellar, side by side, and allowed to remain three weeks. Fig. 1 illustrates average tubers from each jot after having been three weeks in the cellar. It may be well to remark here that when the tubers arrived there was no difference in their appearance as regards vitality. The samples were planted side by side, and given the same treatment. Although the Jerrard tubers were so badly sprouted that we cou!d scarcely cut them, they gave a much greater yield than ihe Pennsylvania tuber-. From the first the difference in the appearance of the tops was very marked; those from the Jerrard tubers being much the larger, and at har
