IN conse(Iience of the degeneracy ofthe potate and tits liability tit rutt out, or it lenst to become comparatively woritless, I have 'beeti expetimetiniog fopr six years in prodnaeiit g new varieities frotn seei, From the ravages of a small l.lack htg, my effirts for the first two years proved etirely fi. -tile. Tite third year by protetving the very small, tenidtr plants with thin bais of tow, for many biy;vs after they first spraon from the earth, I sueceeded it growingit a bout twenty, whici I also protected fIoimt the atiutmuitl frosts , as long as they nouli grow, by means of bliakits ni d boards.
