Sophie. (L. R. Jones's No. 2. ) Originated by Cimbal. White skin, 

 vellowish-white tlesh. (See description in Berichte Deutsch. Kart.- 

 kult.-Stat., 1903, pp. 37 and 53.) 



Recommended by Professor Eckenbrecher a.s one of the most pro- 

 ductive of table varieties. Fairly resistant to disease; suited to various 

 soils. 



12580. 



Daben^che. (L. R. Jones's No. 3. ) Originator unknown. Skin pale 

 reil, flesh white-vellowish. (For further notes, see anv of reports of 

 Deutsch. Kart.-Kult.-Stat., e. g., 1903, pp. 34 and 53.) 



This was ordered because it is the standard table variety in the trials 

 of the German station. It is one of the most widely cultivated food 

 potatoes in Germany; an old variety. Professor Eckenbrecher reports 

 it as most liable to scab and liable to rot. 



Sorauer says that it is suited to sandy soils. Foreman Goese says it is 

 Wi)X suitable for heavy soils. Doctor Appel finds it one of the most resist- 

 ant to "Schwarzbeinigkeit."

 Skin white, flesh white. ( For description, see any report of the Deutscli. 

 Karl. -Kult. -Stat., e. g., 1903, pp. 35 and 52.) 



Chosen for two reasons: (1) It is oiie of the most uniformly resistant 

 to scab of the varieties reported upon by Professor Eckenbrecher for a 

 long series of years. (2) It is taken at this German station as the typical 

 heavy yielding factory potato. It is also a fair table variety. Not 

 especially resistant to disease except scab; suited to all except wetter 

 soils.

Matjiuim Boiiuni. (L. R. Jones's No. 5.) Originated by Sutton. 

 Skin white, flesh white; a medium late variety which is a standard 

 table potato of north central Europe. (See further description in 

 Berichte Deutsch. Kart.-Kult.-Stat., 1903, pp. 43 and 53.) 



Prunet, Frank, Sorauer, and others report this to be the most resist- 

 ant to Phytophthora of any variety. Suited to all soils, according to 

 Foreman Goese. 



12583. 



Irene. (L. R. Jones's No. 6.) Originated by Paulsen. Skin red, 

 flesh white. (See further description in Berichte Deutsch. Kart.-Kult.- 

 Stat., 1903, pp. 39 and 43.) 



A medium late variety which has been found in the trials of this 

 station second only to Mohort in resistance to diseases (rots, etc. ). It is 

 also very resistant to scab. According to Foreman Goese, suited to 

 good soils but not to light sands. 



12584. 



Professor Maerker. (L. R. Jones's No. 7.) Originated by Richter. 

 Flesh white. (See further description in Berichte Deutsch. Kart.-Kult.- 

 Stat., 1897, p. 29; 1903, pp. 42 and 52.) This is a medium late variety, 

 exceedingly productive, and a favorite sort in Germany for factory pur- 

 poses, as well as a good table variety. It has shown good scab resist- 

 ance, and was recommended by Foreman Goese and Professor Ecken- 

 brecher for general disease resistance. Foreman Goese says that it is 

 suited to all soils.
