 in Loudons Magazine for February, 1843, p. 66, to be a 

 seedling between the Early Ash-top and the Scotch red-nosed 

 Kidney. " It was raised by a shoemaker in this neighbour- 

 hood (Yorkshire), and hence the name Lapstone." This 

 shoemaker's name was Hague, and hence the name of 

 Hague's Seedling, by which name it may be found in the 

 seedsmen's catalogues. It is one of the finest varieties of 

 Potato in cultivation. Jackson's New Ash-leaf is better 

 than the common sort, the tubers being larger and much 

 finer.
