To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The varieties of the potato are veiy numerous. I have seen a list of one hundred and sixty kinds now or lately cultivated in the gardens of the Horticultural Society, in CULTIVATION OF THE POTATO. 15 England ; which probably does not include all which are cultivated m that country. Whether they are as numer- ous in France, I do not know. I have seen about twenty named of the kinds raised there. In this country they are probably as numerous as in England. Mr. Cole, late editor of the New England... Fanner, raised forty new varieties from seed. In Geimany the varieties are but few. From an account in the Quarterly Journal of Agricul- ture, it must be inferred, either that Gerarde's idea of the potato being held as a delicacy was not adopted very generally, or that the duration of this degree of favor to it was short, since that work would have it believed that some thii'ty or forty years later there was a strong preju- dice against it. The statement there is, that prejudice for a long time retarded the general use of the potato.
