EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS 367 



The flesh is very white, dry, solid and of firm texture. It promises to be 

 a good keeper, and this, taken together with the productiveness, makes it 

 a valuable acquisition. 



Fm'mers' Alliance. — One of the new sorts of the Rose class, but the 

 vines have a stronger growth. The characteristics of the tuber are about 

 the same as those of the Late Rose. A good yielder and worthy of further 

 trial. 



Flagle. — A very large growing new sort with a bright pink, netted skin. 

 Shape, flat oblong; eyes, deep, broad, with lip projecting over center of 

 eye. Flesh very firm, dry and white. Will be given further trial. 



FoUler's Peachhlow. — It appears to be similar to the original Peach- 

 blow, and without superior qualities sufficient to enable it to supersede it. 

 A large yielder of rough, irregular tubers, with dry, white, solid flesh. 



Good News. — A round, oval shaped variety, with medium sized shallow 

 eyes tinted with pink; skin, white, specked with light dots; flesh, of good 

 color and fine texture. Quite attractive and medium in productiveness. 



Honeoye -Rose. — A seedling of the Victor Rose, running back to the 

 original Early Rose for its parentage. The tubers average larger than the 

 Early Rose, and are more oblong in shape. Eyes, broad, open, rather 

 deep set, shading from pink to deep red color; skin, pale pink and finely 

 netted. The flesh is white, firm and dry. Owing to its being as early as 

 the Early Rose, and of better shape, it is bound to be a valuable new 

 variety. 



Inability. — Tubers of medium size; oblong and irregular in shape; eyes, 

 deep, open, few in number; skin, white, smooth, specked with small light 

 dots; flesh, white, a little spongy. 



Irish Cobbler. — A new early variety, for which great claims are made. 

 In shape it resembles the Early Ohio. The skin is of a creamy white tint, 

 slightly netted; eyes, strong, well developed, but slightly depressed; flesh, 

 white, firm, and when cooked very floury. It ripens about the same time 

 as the Ohio, but is much more productive. 



King of the Roses. — One of the new, oblong, Rose varieties of consider- 

 able promise. The tubers are regular in shape, of medium size, with a 

 clear pink skin. Eyes, broad, nearly closed, and of average depth. The 

 firm, dry, fine textured flesh makes it a desirable table sort, and it seems 

 destined to be a valuable addition in the Rose growing localities. 



Lakeside Champion. — This seems to be a potato that will gain promi- 

 nence among the late market varieties. It is a strong grower; vines of an 

 upright, vigorous habit; size of tubers large, with very few small ones. 

 Their shape is long, oblong, flattened; eyes are few in number, deep, 

 partly closed, and pink to red in color; skin, white, shaded with pink, 

 smooth, finely netted; flesh, firm, fine grained and white. 



Livingston Banner. — But very few of the new sorts gave a larger yield 

 tban this, and, considering its good points, it will be, without doubt, a 

 good market variety. The tubers are large, flat ovate in shape, very regu- 

 lar; eyes are few in number, slightly indented; skin, light russet, finely 

 netted ; flesh is very firm, cream white, and fine in texture. Appears to be 

 a good keeper. 



Maggie Murphy. — The large size and productiveness of this variety is 

 gaining for it a widespread reputation. The tubers are of the Rose color, 

 light pink, and very attractive. The top is very strong and vigorous in its 

 growth; said to be especially adapted to sandy soil. Considering its size, 

 the grain is good, and the flesh very white and dry.
