12578 to 12668— Continued. 



12578 to 12596— Continued. 



A very late variety. Very heavy yielder and high percentage of starch, 

 therefore one of the highest in total starch product, Only fairly resistant 

 to disease, but included upon recommendation of Professor Ecken- 

 brecher. Foreman Goese says that it is suited to all soils. 



12586. 



Max Eyth. (L. R. Jones's No. 9.) Originated by Cimbal. This is 

 a late potato, of good quality and starch content, described in the 

 Berichte Deutsch. Kart.-Kult.-Stat. 



Ordered because Foreman Goese stated that he considered this the 

 most resistant variety toward Phytophthora, and added that it is suited 

 to all soils. 



12587. 



Mohort. (L. R. Jones's No. 10.) Originated by Dolkowski. White 

 skin, white flesh. (See further description in Berichte Deutsch. Kart.- 

 Kult.-Stat., 1903, pp. 37 and 42.) 



Selected because reported (1903, etc.) as the most highly resistant to 

 diseases (rot, etc.) of any variety tested; also fairly resistant to scab. 

 Excellent table variety; high yielder; high starch content. Foreman 

 Goese says that it is suited to all soils. 



12588. 



Gastold. (L. R. Jones's No. 11.) Originated by Dolkowski. White 

 skin, white flesh, middle late. (See further description in Berichte 

 Deutsch. Kart.-Kult.-Stat., 1903, pp. 35 and 42.) 



Selected because next to President Kruger this appears to be the most 

 productive variety they have. Fair degree of general disease resistance. 

 Esteemed alike for table and factory. Foreman Goese says that it is 

 suited to all soils. 



12589. 



President Kruger. (L. R, Jones's No. 12.) Originated by Cimbal. 

 White skin, white flesh, late variety. (See further description in Berichte 

 Deutsch. Kart.-Kult.-Stat, 1903, pp. 35, 42, and 52.) 



Selected because it has proved to be an enormous yielder, leading all 

 varieties in most trials. It is of rather low starch content and recom- 

 mended only for factory purposes. Foreman Goese says that it is suited 

 to ail good soils. 



12590. 



Professor Wohltmann. (L. R. Jones's No. 13.) Originated by Cimbal. 

 Skin red, flesh white. (See further description in Berichte Deutsch. 

 Kart.-Kult.-Stat, 1900, p. 35; 1903, pp. 43 and 52.) Late variety. 



Selected because reported as highly resistant to scab. Large yielder 

 and high starch content. Esteemed both for factory and table purposes. 

 Foreman Goese says it needs a good, rich soil. 



12591. 



Topas. (L. R. Jones's No. 14.) Originated by Dolkowski. Skin 

 white, flesh white. (See further description in Berichte Deutsch. Kart.- 

 Kult.-Stat, 1900, p. 35; 1903, p. 42.) Medium early. 



According to reports a good disease-resistant sort, good yielder, rich 

 in starch, suitable for table and factory use. 



Selected because Doctor Appel observed in 1902 that this showed the 

 highest degree cf resistance to Phytophthora of any variety in his fields. 

 (See his article, " Die diesjahrige Phytophthora-Epidemie," Deutsche 

 Landw. Presse, XXIX, 685. ) Foreman Goese says that it is suited to 

 all soils.
