POTATOES.
To select potatoes.
As a general rule the smaller the eyes the better the potato. Choose those of
medium size, and as smooth as possible. By cutting a slice off the larger end it
may be discovered if sound; if spotted or having a large hollow they are not,
and therefore inferior. Of the variety to select from depends greatly on the
season; some sorts keep better than others; others decay and go out of market as
the season advances; Potatoes should be kept in a dark but cool and dry cellar,
to prevent vegetating.
