Deep Planting
We saw recently a potato which grew at the depth of twenty-five feet below the surface of the earth. This is an extraordinary depth. Few things planted at that depth would vegetate. The fact in this case is unquestionable. The top was terminated by a cluster of blossoms, and the potatoes were of the size of small hickory-nuts.
P. S. Another fact, which like to have been omitted in this account, is, that it grew at the bottom of an open well.
