32 ESCULENT ROOTS. 



rather numerous, and deeply sunk ; flesh very white, re- 

 markably dry, farinaceous, and well-flavored. Originated 

 about thirty years ago, in Berkshire County, Mass., by Mr. 

 John Carter. 



Cuzco. A recent variety ; originated by the late Rev. 



Chauncey E. Goodrich, of Utica, N.Y. The 

 tubers are of medium size ; and the flesh is white, light, and 

 dry, when cooked. 



In common, with many of the kinds known as the " Good- 

 rich Seedlings," the Cuzco appears to be very productive, 

 free from disease, a good keeper, and in all respects de- 

 sirable both for the field and garden. 



Danvers Plant healthy and vigorous. The large, 



DANVEKS RED. full-grown tubers are long ; and the smaller, 



undeveloped ones, nearly round. Color, light 



red, with faint streaks of white ; eyes moderately sunk ; 



quality fair. 



This variety originated in Danvers, Essex County, Mass., 

 and, when first introduced, was not only of good size and 

 quality, but remarkably productive. It has, however, 

 much deteriorated ; and is now, both as respects quality 

 and yield, scarcely above an average. At one period, it 

 had the reputation of being one of the best varieties for 

 keeping, and of entirely withstanding the attacks of the 

 potato disease. 



Davis's Seedling. Tubers of good 

 size, red, nearly 

 round, though sometimes more or less 

 flattened. Eyes deeply sunk, and not 

 very numerous ; flesh nearly white, 

 slightly tinged with pink beneath the 

 skin when cooked ; quality good. It

requires the full season for its complete 

 perfection, and resists disease better than most varieties.
