12578 to 12668— Continued. 



12608 to 12613— Continued. 



and reputed as of high quality and fair yield for so early a variety. 

 Recommended by Sutton and various others as worthy of trial in 

 Florida. Mr. Scarlett advises to plant whole tul>ers and rather close 

 together, as tops are small. 



12609. 



Nimtyfold. (L. R. Jones's No. 52.) Originated by Sutton. "First 

 early;" "white skin and flesh. Good kidney shape but not quite so 

 uniform and handsome as May Queen, and eyes somewhat deeper. 

 Rated a better cropper. A good authority states "one of heaviest 

 croppers among the first earliest; therefore profitable to grow, although 

 quality is not of best." Opinions differ as to disease resistance. Various 

 peri^oiis recommend this for trial in Florida, etc. 



12610. 



Epicure. (L. R. Jones's No. 53.) Originated by Sutton. A "second 

 early" variety; bronzy red skin; tiesh white; recommended highly by 

 Sutton, but this is not" indorsed by all others consulted. Secured espe- 

 cially for trials in South. 



12611. 



Supreme. (L. R. Jones's No. 54.) Originated by Sutton & Sons. A 

 "second early," but a little earlier than Epicure. White. This makes 

 a small top and is not altogether promising. It was, however, recom- 

 mended by the Suttons for trial, especially in the South. It seemed 

 comparatively free from "Schwarzbeinigkeit," as seen at Cambridge, 

 England. 



12612. 



Wiiuhor Castle. (L. R. Jones's No. 55.) A "second early" variety; 

 yellow skin, white flesh, roundish, recommended by the Suttons as 

 highest quality for table. It was also indorsed by others as worthy of 

 trial, especially in the South. 



12613. 



JJwcoreri/. (L. R. Jones's No. 56.) This is one of Sutton's latest 

 originations. It is medium late, yellow skin, white flesh, kidney shape, 

 excellent quality and strong yielder. Sutton's people rate it as their 

 greatest jiroduction, and the opinion of unbiased potato experts so far as 

 consulted is that this is the most promising disease-resistant potato in 

 England to-day. 



12614 to 12619. 



From Edinburgh, Scotland. Received thru Mr. T. A. Scarlett, Decem- 

 ber 31, 1904. 



12614. 



Sir Jolin Llen-ellyn. (L. R. Jones's No. 57.) This is recommended 

 most highly of all early potatoes in England. 



Recently introduced by Harris, Wales; season is "first early;" white 

 skin, white flesh, flattish-oval kidney shape, fine appearance and 

 strong cropper, qualitv not of best; likes a good soil, and is a strong 

 feeder. Said to have a tendency to develop sports. This is noteworthy, 

 since it may prove more promising for selection of disease-resistant 

 plants. 



12615. 



K'mg Edward VII. (L. R. Jones's No. 58.) This is one of recently 

 originated varieties. Sent out by Butler. Late second early. Pink 

 skin, flesh white, said to yellow somewhat when cooked. Said to be 

 productive but not of highest quality. Ordered on recommendation of 

 W. P. Wright, secretary of the National Potato Society. Most other 

 opinions given were adverse to its value as a disease resister.
