OverviewExcerpt from Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue of Potatoes for Seed This is one of the most important subjects to be considered in the propagation of potatoes, and there is such a diversity of opinion regarding the manner and method of cutting, that many pages could be filled in giving the different experiences of the professors in this art. While we do not attempt to decide this question to the satisfaction of every one, we shall give our own views, and claim that in our method an enormous quantity of the tubers now annually planted may be thrown into the market causing a reduction in the prices charged for this common and necessary crop. Without discussing the respective merits of planting whole potatoes, or half a dozen pieces, each piece containing three and four eyes, in a hill, we shall state, what has been proven by so many cultivators, that two good eyes are ample for one hill, and the yield of large, marketable potatoes is larger than when more are planted. With the aid of the cut and remarks on page 3, we trust our readers may be enabled to understand our method.
