13033. 



Northern Star. (L. E.. Jones's No. 49.) Medium late; white; round; 

 quality and yield reputed excellent. One of Mr. Findlay's most promising 

 recent introductions (first sent out in 1902). He says "the most disease-

 optimistic as to this. Commended especially for trial in the North and West.

 most advertised potato in England to-day. Sold last year at rate of £200 

 sterling per pound w^eight. Medium late; white; elongated oval. Reputed 

 of high quality and yield. Commended most highly by Mr. Findlay as dis- 

 ease resisting, but some others who have watched it are less hopeful of any 

 remarkable characteristics in this direction.
