Description
Excerpt from Potatoes, How to Grow and Show Them: A Practical Guide to the Cultivation and General Treatment of the Potato
The value of the potato, and the interest taken in its culture at the present day, must be my excuse for laying before the public my method of culture, which may be considered to have been fairly successful, it having Ob tained for me, during the last four years, the greatest number of prizes of any one exhibitor at the great Inter national Potato Exhibitions. Many Of the public who visited those exhibitions, and saw the splendid samples there shown, so superior to those they had been in the habit of growing in their own gardens, imagined that there is some secret, known only to the few, by which those samples were produced. But there is no royal road to success, the only secret being - good culture.
