A single eve, with a portion of the tuber attached to furnish nourishment to the bud until sustenance can be secured from. 101.— Urtderground 'part of 'potatoplant in mellow soil. newly foi-med rootlets, may produce one, occasionally more, strong upright stems. A mosi interesting study of manifold reproduction may be made eve^i in the winter time by planting in a fertile soil a piece of potato containino; a sinorle eve. As soon as the rootlets begin to start, divide each eye and piece into two parts and replant. In a few days after the rootlets have again started, divide the two pieces into four and replant. This operation may be performed again and again,'until many plants suitable for transplanting in the open may be secured from a single eye. Demonstrate that the potato contains starch. This can be done by applying a drop of dilute iodine to a freshly cut surface of the tuber : the starch grains turn blued)lack. Five cents worth of iodine 286.
