large quantities to the interior and more southern sections
of the United States. The Davis Seedling--which is quite as productive,
and much superior in quality for table use--might be profitably grown as
a substitute.

PINK-EYED.

Tubers nearly round; eyes rather large and deep; color mostly white,
with spots and splashes of pink, particularly about the eyes; flesh
yellow.

The Pink-eyed is an old but inferior variety, hardly superior in quality
to the Vermont White. Though quite productive, it is generally esteemed
unworthy of cultivation.

POGGY, OR PORGEE.

Cow-horn.

A dark-colored variety, extensively cultivated in the British Provinces,
particularly in Nova Scotia; and, during the autumn, imported in
considerable quantities into the principal seaports of the United
States. It is of excellent quality, and by some preferred to all others,
especially for baking; for which purpose, on account of its size and
remarkable form, it seems peculiarly adapted. It is moderately
productive, and succeeds well if seed is procured every year or two from
the East; but, if otherwise, it soon deteriorates, even under good
cultivation.

Size above medium; form long, broadest, and somewhat flattened, at the
stem-end, and tapering towards the opposite extremity, which is often
more or less sharply pointed. It is also frequently bent, or curved;
whence the name "Cow-horn," in some localities. Skin smooth; eyes not
depressed; color dark-blue outside, white within when cooked. Not very
hardy; requiring a full season for its complete perfection. Unless where
well known, its color is objectionable; and it is generally less salable
than the white-skinned varieties.

QUARRY.

A large, white, roundish, English potato, not unlike the variety
universally known and cultivated many years since in this country as the
Orange Potato. Plant vigorous, and of strong, stocky habit; flowers
purple, generally abortive; flesh yellowish-white, of fair quality for
table use. A hardy, very productive sort, which might be profitably
grown for marketing and for agricultural purposes. The plants survive
till frost. Not early.

ROHAN.

Tubers very large, in form much resembling the Jenny Lind,--the
full-developed specimens being long, and the smaller or immature tubers
nearly round; eyes numerous and deep-set; color yellowish-white, with
clouds or patches of pink or rose; flesh greenish-white when cooked,
yellowish, watery, and strong fl
