C s.p Bot. mag. 1921 2533 2539 2542 2530 2535 History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 2547 2549 in his Herbal, published in 1597, gives a figure of the potatoe, under the name of Potatoe of Virginia, whence he says he received the roots; and this appellation it appears to have retained, in order to distinguish it from the battatas or sweet potatoe (Convolvulus battatas) till the year 1640, if not longer. "The sweet potatoe," Sir Joseph Banks observes, "was used in England as a delicacy long before the introduction of our potatoes; it was imported in considerable quantities from Spain and the Canaries, and was supposed to possess the power imported in considerable quantities from Spain and the Canaries, and was supposed to possess the power of restoring decayed vigor. The kissing comfits of Falstaff, and other confections of similar imaginary qualities, with which our ancestors were duped, were principally made of these and of eringo roots." Gough says the potatoe was first planted by Sir Walter Raleigh on his estate of Youghall near Cork, and that they were soon after carried into Lancashire. Gerrarde and Parkinson, however, mention them as delicacies for the confectioner, and not as common food. Even so late as Bradley's time they are spoken of as inferior to skirrets and radishes The use of potatoes, however, became more and more known after the middle of the 18th century, and has greatly increased in all parts of Britain within the last thirty years. It is also very general in Holland, and many parts of France and Germany, and is increasing rapidly in Russia. In Spain, and the East and West Indies they are not much cultivated, owing to the heat of the climate; but in all the temperate parts of North America, Australasia, and South America they are grown by the colonists. In China they are cultivated, but not extensively, owing to the slow progress which every thing new makes in that country. Indeed, no root hitherto discovered is so well adapted for universal use as the tubers of the potatoe; for, having no peculiarity of taste, and consisting chiefly of starch, their farina is nearly the same as that of grain. Hence, with the flower of potatoes, puddings, and such preparations as do not call the gluten of wheat-flower into action, may be made equal to those of millet or rice, and excellent bread with a moderate proportion of good wheat-flour. made equal to those of millet or rice, and excellent bread with a moderate proportion of good wheat-flour. Potatoe starch , independently of its use in the laundry, and as a hair powder, is considered an equally delicate food as sago or arrow-root. As starch and sugar are so nearly the same, that the former is easily converted into the latter, the potatoe yields a spirit equal to that of malt by distillation, and a wine or beer by the fermentative process The varieties of the potatoe are very numerous, differing in earliness, lateness, form, size, color, and quality. The names for these are quite arbitrary or local. In general, every district has its peculiar or favorite varienames for these are quite arbitrary or local.

As few of the early sorts produce blossoms, to procure seeds from them deprive the plant of its tubers as they appear, and keep the runners from which they proceed above ground, by not earthing up the plant, and blossoms and seeds will soon be produced. This Mr. Knight completely proved, and the rationale is developed in the Philosophical Transactions for 1806. It appears that the same sap gives existence both to the tuber and blossom, and that whenever a plant of the potatoe affords either seeds or blossoms, a diminution of the crop of tubers, or an increased expenditure of the richness of the soil, must necessarily take place. This led Mr. Knight to attempt the practice adopted by the Dutch florists with their bulbous flowers, viz. to pinch off the flowers to strengthen the bulbs. This, in the potatoe, Mr. Knight thinks may add an ounce in weight to the tubers of each plant, or considerably above a ton per acre. The practice is now general among scientific cultivators even in field culture.

The curl is a well known disease of potatoes, which frequently disappoints the cultivator of a crop, or renders that produced of little value. A great variety of opinions exist as to this disease: without enumerating these, we may state, as the general result of experiments by different persons, that the curl arises in most, or at least in many cases, from using over ripe tubers as seed stock, or from the employment of seed stock which has been injured or improperly kept during the winter; that is, kept exposed to the light and air instead of being covered with earth, or sand, or straw, so as to preserve their juices. The experiments of various farmers and gardeners, as recorded in the Farmer's Magazine and Caledonian Hort. Mem., lead to the above conclusions. The culture of the potatoe, both in the field and garden, is universally known. It may be forced in pots or on dung or tan beds; and, for this purpose, using sets from tubers that have been retarded a year in an icehouse or cold place, is found a great advantage. Thus, in planting in December 1823, use tubers of crop 1822. These, from the long period of repose which they have had, will be found highly exciteable by heat, and of much more rapid growth than sets of the preceding crop. As matter of curiosity, boxes containing alternate layers of light earth and potatoes of the last season but one may be placed in any dry covered place, free from frost, in November, and they will produce a brood of young tubers in contact with the old ones on the December following, without either leaves, roots, or runners. (Hort. Trans. i. 225.) Potatoes are best preserved by burying in pits in dry ground, so deep as to be under the influence of surface temperature, or so enveloped with thatch as to produce the same effect. At a certain depth, they will keep 2565 Melongéna W. 2566 insánum P. S.

A mixture of sliced cucumbers, shallots or onions cut very small, a little lime juice and Madeira wine, with a few pods of bird pepper, well mashed and mixed with the liquor, seldom fails to provoke the most languid appetite in the West Indies. It is there called Man-dram Gathered fresh from the pla plant, the pods of all the species are liberally used both in the East and West Indies, to assist digestion and correct flatulencies.

C. frutescens and minimum, the latter by many considered only a variety of the former, low shrubs with an oval red berry more sharp and biting than any of the others, furnish the Cayenne pepper of the shops. The ripe pods are dried in the sun, and then in an oven after bread is baked, in an earthen or stone pot, with flour between the strata of pods. When quite dry they are cleaned from the flour, and beaten or ground to fine powder. To every ounce of this, a pound of wheat flour is added, and it is made into small cakes with leaven; these are baked, cut into small pieces, baked again that they may be as dry and hard as biscuit, and then are beaten into powder and sifted. It is then fit for use as a pepper, or for being packed up, in a compressed state, and so as to exclude air, for exportation. C. annuum, Piment, Fr., Spanischer Pfeffer, Ger., Peberone, Ital., is cultivated for its fruit, which is used in a green state for pickling, and ripe for mixing with other ingredients, as Tomatos, &c. to form sauces. They are also dried and ground, and used like Cayenne pepper. The seed is sown in the end of March or beginning of April on a moderate hot-bed, and covered a quarter of an inch. When the plants are two or three inches in growth, some are transplanted into a new slight hot-bed to forward them for final planting; or in default or such a hot-bed, they are placed in a bed of light rich earth, from twelve to eighteen inches apart, where they are finally to remain in the end of May, and protected during night by mats. They will flower in July, and PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA.
