EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS 267 



flattened, very wliite, smooth, firm, solid, of excellent quality, but lack a little in 

 productiveness. 



Junior Pride. — Vines rank and upright; tubers oval to oblong, many nearly 

 round; skin white, with slight pink markings, finely netted. The surface is smooth; 

 ej'es broad, open, shallow; flesh Avhite, firm, fine grained. A' promising early to med- 

 ium sort. 



Kaiser Krone. — A white-skinned potato of the Carman No. .3 type ; eyes shallow, 

 well scattered, making the tubers smooth and of a desirable appearance. The flesh is 

 white, very solid and fine grained. The vines are strong growers, root deeply and 

 seem to resist attacks of the Colorado beetle. It is one of the most promising new 

 varieties for commercial growing. A specimen of seed was received from both Vaughan 

 and Presley, but no ditt'erence could be detected in the type. 



Keystone. — Another medium late sort resembling Carman No. 3. The strongest 

 mark of identification is the deep netted appearance of the skin. The yield was a 

 little below the Carman, but in appearance and quality it is equal to it. Owing to 

 its smoothness, desirable shape and color it promises to be of some value. 



King of Michigan. — A variety introduced by Flansburg & Pierson, Leslie, Mich., 

 that has strong points suflicient to class it among the desirable new sorts. The vines 

 are vigorous, spreading well over the ground, thus shading it during the dry part of 

 the season. The tubers are oval, elongated, slightly flattened; skin white, finely 

 netted : c>es broad, open, shallow, evenly distributed over the entire surface. The 

 seed markings are very prominent and strong in the eyes. The texture, flavor and 

 grain i* all that could be desired. 



McKinlcy strongly resembles Carman No. 1. It is a good yielder and strong grower. 

 The eyes are a little deeper, which gives is a rougher appearance than the Carman. 

 The quality is excellent and it is a good keeping and promising market variety. 



^lillion Dollar is another of Salzer"s introductions, and gave a larger yield than 

 any othf^T sort in 1900. In shape and appearance they are nearly identical with 

 Carman No. 3, but have pink markings in the eyes; skin very white, smooth, finely 

 netted: fle.sh fine, floury, and of the solidity that indicates keeping qualities. This 

 variety is certainly worthy of trial, owing to its productiveness and quality. The 

 vines are stocky, rank growers, and very free from any symptoms of blight or tip 

 burn. 



Northern Beauty, originated by Geo. W. P. Jerrard & Co., Caribou, Maine, is of 

 the Rose type, but is more flattened and oval than the old Early Rose. The skin is a 

 delicate pink: eyes long, open, flat, broad and prominent: flesh cream white, fine 

 grained, dry and floury, but a little inclined to be strong on moist soils. The vines 

 are strong and vigorous, and the quality and productiveness are promising. 



Pat's Choice, a seedling of Seneca Beauty, originated by Frank M. Kirkpatrick, of 

 Minnesota. The tubers are long, irregular, oblong, oval, slightly flattened. The skin 

 is white, clouded witli pink, finely netted ; eyes pink, small and shallow, giving it a 

 smooth ajipcarance; flesh is very firm and crisp, white, fine grained and floury when 

 cooked. The firmness of texture guarantees it to be a good keeper, and the vigor of 

 growth and appearance make it one of the desirable sorts. 



Rosy Morn is an early medium variety of some promise. The tubers are regular, 

 oblong oval, a little llattoncd ; eyes broad, open and of medium depth, bright pink in 

 color. The skin is light pink, nearly white, somewhat russeted; flesh white, firm and 

 dry. 



Salzer"s Earliest in growth and habit is very much like the Early Ohio, but it is 

 a red potato. The shape is slightly oblong, but nearly round: skin dark pink, thin and 

 rubs ofl' oa^^ily, leaving a very white, fine-grained, floury flesh of mild flavor. The eyes 

 are small, of medium depth, with purple seed sprouts. The tubers reach edible maturity 

 long before growth stops, and are very compact in the hill, which enables them to be 

 planted closely, thereby increasing the yield, as they do not set as many tubers per 

 hill as many kinds. 



Silver Crown. — Well bunched in the hill; tops strong; tubers oblong round; skin 

 white, netted; eyes of medium dej)th, numerous; seed sprouts are very prominent on 

 the body of the tubers and are on raised bundles, which give the potato a little rough 

 appearance. The flesh is white, fine grained, firm and dry. Promises to be a desirable 

 early sort. Originated by J. R. Ale.Varry, Burgettstown, Pa. 



St. Lawrence.— A pinkish white sort of good quality. The shape is a little irregular, 

 long, oval : eyes pink, small and shallow. 



Sweet Home. — In growth and habit is identical with Carman No. 3. Very attractive.
