This is not a very large yielder, but is ver\- rich in .-tarch (excelled 

 all others in 1901); a very good table variety. 



According to 1901 reports it is most highly resistant to disease (rots, 

 etc. ) and also resistant to scab. Selected because of this. Mr. Goese 

 says that it is suited to all soils.

This is not especially disease resistant, but was inclmled upon recom- 

 mendation of Professor Eckenbrecher. since it is one of the heaviest 

 yielding varieties of high starch content and therefore very high total 

 starch product on the average. 



Medium late. Especially a factory variety, but also a good table 

 potato. Mr. Goese says that it is similar to Richter's Imperator, and 

 suited to all except moist soils.

 factory and table use. Professor Eckenbrecher has found this especially 

 free from rot (Berichte, 1899), and it is included upon his recommenda- 

 tion for disease resistance. Mr. Goese says that it is suited for all 

 good soils, but not for sand.

 years' trials, that it is highly resistant to disease u'ots, etc.) and fairly 

 resistant to scab. Mr. Goese says that it is suited to all soils.
