has a yellow tinge and many were found to be hollow, which is de- 

 cidedly an undesirable characteristic, should it prove such after further 

 trial. It is productive and otherwise is a promising market potato. 

 Yield per acre 166.88 bushels. 



Carman No. 3: — One of the well-known kinds; very productive, large, 

 white, smooth, valuable. Yield per acre 210.70 bushels. 



Clinton: — This gave rather a poor yield, yet a large per cent were of 

 good size and salable. The potatoes are long, flat and wkite, with a 

 rather rusty appearance, which is an objectionable feature. 



Vornehm : — Not productive this season. Potatoes ran small to med- 

 ium; color white, russeted; form wide, flattened, smooth, shallow-eyed. 

 Yield per acre 123.31 bushels. 



Ionia :■ — Productive, medium to large, very irregular in form. White, 

 with scaly, rusty appearance. Pronged, not smooth. One of the poorest 

 in appearance of any on trial. Yield per acre 159.17 bushels. 



Livingston : — Only moderately productive ; color Avhite, with stripes 

 and bands of red encircling some of the potatoes ; form long, round ; skin 

 smooth, with shallow, pink colored eyes. Yield per acre 104 bushels. 



Mark Hanna : — A large, flat, white, smooth potato. Is productive and 

 has every appearance of being an excellent market potato. Yield per 

 acre 143.89 bushels. 



Pat's Choice : — This variety is especially promising for a red kind. 

 The color, however, may be against it as a market sort. A number of 

 the varieties were tried for table use and this variety was superior to 

 anything tested. It was second in productiveness, and the potatoes run 

 from medium to large and in form are long and round. Yield j^er acre 

 195.28 bushels. 



Sir Walter Raleigh : — Resembles Mark Hanna and Carman No. 3 very 

 much; with these varieties one of the best white kinds tested. Upon 

 cutting them open, all of these kinds showed some hollow or black 

 centers. Yield per acre 185 bushels. 



White Victor:— Of the Carman type in color and shape, but did not 

 run as large and was not so i^roduetive. Yield per acre 169.58 bushels.
