DunniclifT, of the Department of Agriculture, fi r valuable informrition re the varieties, which he found all true to name, except, he points out, tliat one that was sent here under the name of " Satisfaction " is " Centennial," and it now goes under that name here ; it is one of our \evy best. A preliminary experiment was made to find out best seed to plant, as follows : — A potato 6 oz. in weight, with sixteen eyes : The yield from one plant w^as 8 lb. 12 oz., the largest tuber weighing 13 oz., and smallest, \ oz.; a very uneven lot. A potato ^ oz. only in weight : The yield from one plant was 3 lb. 4 oz. ; largest tuber, 8^ oz. ; smallest tuber, ^ oz. : an uneven lot. A potato 2 oz. in weight, with five eye--, yielded 4^ lb. from one plant ; largest potato being 8 oz., and smallest tuber, \ oz. ; a very even lot generally. All the above were planted whole, none being cut. Further and more extensi\e experiments relative to the above, and also to cut and uncut seed, are in course of being carried out at the Farm here this Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New South Wales.
