35491 to 35669— Continued. 



36491 to 35503. Solanum tuberosum L. • Potato. 



"All seeds of cultivated potatoes were subject to open pollination." 



35491. ''(91.) Rosada. From Panguipulli." 



35492. "(125.) A variety called Coraida. From Panguipulli." 

 36493. "(126.) Blanca prima riza. From Panguipulli." 



35494. "(163.) Torreno. From Temuco, and much grown about Nuevo

36496. "(165.) Bastoniza colorada. From Llifen." 



36497. "(166.) Artellera. From Temuco. Said to be better than 

 Pe huencha, which it closely resembles." 



36498. "(170.) Bastoniza. From Panguipulli." 



35499. "(172.) Alemana. From Puerto Montt. The fact that this is 

 called Alemana does not necessarily mean that it came from Germany, 

 but merely that it was grown by a German in Chile." 



36600. "(173.) Blanca. From Temuco." 



35501. "(176.) This is a local variety at Puerto Montt, but I could not 

 learn the name. It is said to be an excellent variety with very yellow 

 flesh." 



36602. "(177.) Caraila. Very similar to Reina and perhaps identical 

 with it. A good variety much grown in Ancud, Chiloe." 



36503. "(178.) Camota. From Ancud, Chiloe." 

 35504 to 35606. Solanum spp. 

 Tubers of the following: 



35604. "(199.) This form has probably never been introduced into cul- 

 tivation before. It grows wild in a region, so far as known, never inhab- 

 ited. Not even is there any tradition among the Indians of this part of 

 the island having been inhabited, and the locality can be reached only 

 at low tide. The tubers are sometimes 3 and 4 inches long. From 

 Punta Tablaruca." 



36506. "(200.) Cashanegra. From Quilan." 



36606. "(201.) Casha blanca. From Castro." 

 35507 to 36632. Solanum tuberosum L. Potato. 



35607. "(202.) Morada. From Quilan." 



36608. "(204.) Villaroela, also known as Antehuapa. An excellent 

 variety, one of the best in fact. From Castro." 



36609. "(205.) From Castro." 35611. "(207.) From Castro." 



36610. "(206.) From Castro." 36512. "(208.) From Castro." 



35513. "(211.) A remarkable potato that has persisted in a garden in 

 Castro for 20 years without replanting and in spite of efforts to destroy it. 

 There is very little frost in Castro." 



35514. "(212.) Mantequilla. The celebrated yellow potato of Peru. 

 This was originally brought from the Oroya Valley in Peru in 1882 to 

 Puerto Montt, Chile, and is now grown to a limited extent at Calanco and 

 in Chiloe. It is usually considered necessary to remove the blossoms, 

 otherwise few tubers are obtained. Perhaps the most yellow of any 

 variety known. Should be compared with the same variety direct from 

 Peru, where, however, it is known by a different name. From Castro."
