593 



International Potato. 



King of Flukes {Meldrum Conqueror}. Tubers oblong, often 

 rather short, slightly flattened ; skin golden-yellow ; eyes faintly 

 marked ; flesh very 

 yellow, fine, and of 

 excellent flavour; 

 shoot violet. Fairly 

 productive, ripens 

 mid-season. 



Lady Webster. 

 Tubers round, very 

 smooth, somewhat 

 flattened, yellow, and 

 rather plentifully 

 variegated with red ; 

 shoots red. Stems 

 short and drooping, 

 green ; leaves not numerous, with very glistening leaflets, resembling 

 those of the Early Marjolin Potato. 



Leda (Kerf). Tubers oblong, pale red ; eyes very few, slightly 

 notched ; flesh yellow ; shoot pink. Vigorous, erect stems. 

 Flowers small, white. Resembles in habit the Red Regent, and its 

 tubers are those of the Early Rose. 



Lord of the Isles (Kerr). Tubers yellow, oblong ; eyes few, 

 not notched; flesh white; shoot pink. Very like Early Rose in its 

 vegetation, but the leaves are smooth and more erect. Flowers white. 



Milky White. Tubers white, slightly salmon tinted, very 

 smooth, flat in one part, oblong, and without eyes or notches ; 

 shoot pink. Stems of scanty growth ; leaves slight, pale green ; 

 flowers white. A handsome half-early variety, producing verv 

 clean-skinned tubers ; but several American varieties have a still 

 finer appearance, and are, at the 

 same time, more productive. 



King of Flukes Potato. 



Model Potato. 



Model. Tuber pale yellow, very regularly rounded, slightly 

 flattened ; eyes faintly marked ; skin smooth or rough, according 

 to the soil ; flesh pale yellow ; shoot violet.
