An amateur Hamilton gardener has succeeded in producing a combined potato and tomato vine that has fine ordinary potatoes on its roots and two tomatoes on the top of the vine. And it is no chance that brought it about. The gentleman who raised it has been working at the idea for seven years. He believed it could be done and, by grafting and hybridizing by means of bees, he succeeded. The seeds of the tomato, when planted, will grow potatoes on the roots and tomatoes on the vine, and the same result can be got from planting the potatoes.—Canadian Grocer.
