Ten years ago nn association was formed tor the encouragement of potato culture, and the introduction and diffusion ol* improved varieties. An annuel exhibition .has been held, and the result, that not only bas the number of exhibition increased, but the quality of the potatoes shown has great lj improved. At the show all the leading growers were represented, and the excellence of the specimens made the task of awarding the prizes no easy one At a luncheon Mr Shirley Hibherd remarked that there was still a good deal of ignorance shown in putting potatoes on the table. It was the usual practice to bring them up in a porcelain . dish, with a closefiitting cover. ... In ten minutes the best .« potatoes, • however carefully cooked, were thus utterly destroyed. He recommended that they should be placed in a wooden dish or served in a porcelain dish with towels above and below ; to absorb the moisture. — -St James' Gazette.
