"AMALGAMATION OF POTATOES "
There is an article under the above cap
tion in the "Journal" for this month, in
which yoa seem to endorse the statement,
or rather, the views of a certain Scotch
farmer, in regard to what he is passed to
term "breeding" of Potatoes -in and in,"
as being the cause of tirgenrra;inn, <kc..
Ac. It seems to me strange that vou and
* —' *
he should confour.J two processes of na
ture so entirely distinct, as propagating a
plant by cuttings and "breeding." the latter
term having only reference to rrprodurtion
bv seed.
Facts are stubborn things, and I would
not wish for one moment to call in ques
tion the s'atemcnt of facts of any ene; in
regard to results which he may have ob
tained by auy particular mode or process
planting or culture, but I must enter my
protest against the conclusions which he
arrives at, or the theory which he founds
thereupon, that the degeneration of pota
toes has been caused by what he calis
• breeding" too closely, and that simply
planhng two or more kinds in the same
hill, will cross the breed , as well might we
expect two horses of different character or
color to assimilate, or two cows to give
the same quantity and quality of milk, by
being fed in contiguous stalls.
I presume there are few who will not
admit that the breeding in and in, i, e.,
continually between parent and offspring,
will canse degeneration either in animal or
plant, hut in propogatmg from cuttings,
either-above ground or below, cither from
the stock as in grafting or budding fruit
trees, or from tlie root as in planting pota
toes, there is no production of offspring,
but simply a continuation or re growth of
the old plant: therefore, wh .'.ever benefi
cial ellec: Mr. Craig may have produced
i-r discovered by planting different varie
t. -s together, it cannot, m the nature of
tilings, be referred to any of the phenom
ena of breeding, and 1 think that aev prac
t.cal m3n will be quite willing to see before
he believes , that the result name! was any
thing more than the effect of season or
some accidental circumstance.
i'hal all plants wiil degenerate after a
long continuance of propagation by divis
ion, no one will deny, as we have too
many instances in proof; many varieties of
fruits, for instance, having become neariv
or quite extinct, or at best, worthless—and
the article under discussion, potatoes, must
be expected to obey the same law as they
have already done in som- instances. Va
rieties which were considered the best a
few years back, have rapid.y gone the wav
ol perishable things.
Now it does appear to me the plainest
and simplest thing in nature, that the
proper way to keep Bp the character of
the most important esculent ever grown,
and ilie on y way it can be be done, is to
reproduce continually and frequently from
seed , from actual seed, not from what we
are in the habit of calling, by courtesy,
"seed potatoes." By this means, each one
who does it may obtain an ariicie suited to
his soil, and by repeated trials, something
even better than we have ever yet had,
may be produced.
Very respectfully,
