Certain it is, however, that they were obtained either from Spain or from America. It is a great wonder to me that, when it was so comman and frequent in the Italian settlements (so they say), that they feast upon these tubers, cooked with the flesh of mutton, in the same manner as upon turnips and carrots, they give themselves the advantage of such nourishment, and allow news of the plant to reach us in such an off-hand way. Now, indeed, in many gardens in Germany it is quite common because it is very fruitful
