About 12 mouths ago, Mr P' Le Quesue, of the Waikato Hotel, Hamilton received eight samples of potatoes from the Government through Mr Ross, Stock Inspector, amongst which were four potatoes—* Sernia's Pride,’—which were planted on the 220 d September, and dug on the 18th March, 1901. The re suit being 711b of potatoes, which was published in this paper and found its way into the ‘ La Nouvelle Chrnuique de Jersey,’ a copy of which was forwarded by the publishers to Mr La Quesue, with a footnote saying perhaps Mr Le Quesne will see his way to send us a few of the said potatoes, which might prove of great importance in our Island. About the middle of June Mr Le Quesue posted 71b of the seed to the proprietors of 1 La Nouvelle Ghrouique ’ with instruotiosu to do the best they could with them, at the same time catling their attention to the fact that our seasons being so different, he feared they would be to la'e to plant this year. Mr Le Quesne received another copy of ‘La Nouvelle Ohron que,’ dated August 3rd, 1901, containing a local as follows :—• Potatoes from New Zealand : Yesterday (Friday) we received from one of cur fellow-countrymen \M l ' R- LeQuesne, of the Waikato Hotel, Hamil'on Fast, Now Zealand) a box containing 33 potatoes grown by Mr Le Quesne himself. They are of oblong form and have already pretty long sprouts. Next year they »ili be planted in Jersey, and it will perhaps be the means of assuring to the island a potato which will be a source of prosperity to the Island. Let us not forget that it was with two or three potatoes that Mr Hugh De La Kaye first started, and to-day the Island is filled with Royals. Our thanks to Mr Le Quesne for his gift. They may be seen at our oliice.’ As the Royal does not appear in our colonial eat dogaes, perhaps some of Mr LeQucsne’s Island friends may see their way to send him a few as they would,no doub', be very acceptable here.
