 Twelve Most Productivf. V^arieties of Potatoes : Average of Five Years, 1902-06. 



* This variety was first grown under the name of Burnaby Seedling, and then procured under the 

 name of Burnaby Mammoth. The average yield given is from the new strain for three years, and the old 

 one for tv/o years. 



The Dr. Maerker and Clay Eose would appear in this list if yield only were taken 



into consideration, but as these two varieties are inferior in quality they are not 



included.
