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_.
