5. Yorkshire Kidney. 



This is nothing like the kidney potato, and I think was Yorkshire kid- 

 misnamed. It is a thin, long, white root, with several "^y* 

 eyes, is very scabby, and has a thick skin. When boiled it 

 is slightly mealy, but has a strong taste.

6. Hundred Eyes, 



This is a long white potato of a midling size. It has nu- hundred eves 

 merous eyes, with a narrow transverse depression below each 

 eye. When boiled it has nb unpleasant taste, but is rather 

 too close in its consistence to be reckoned a good potato for 

 the table. 



A peck weighs from 14 to 15 lbs.
