THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



Kaiser-Kartoffel. — A fine, vigorous, and rather early kind, 

 resembling certain American varieties, especially Bresee's Prolific ; 

 it is, however, somewhat later and produces larger tubers. In habit 



of growth it is much 

 the same. 



Karlder Grosse. — 

 Tubers yellow, round ; 

 eyes numerous, 

 notched. Flesh and 

 flow^ers white. 



Kleopatra {Paul- 

 sen). — Tubers small, 

 flattened, red ; eyes 

 faintly marked, flesh 

 white. Flowers lilac- 

 red. 



Kopsell's friihe 

 weisse Rosen- Kartoffel. — This variety very much resembles 

 Bresee's Prolific, but is somewhat earlier, and has yellower tubers, 

 with less of the pink tinge. The difference, however, is very 

 slight, and it would be no great mistake to consider the two as 

 synonymous. 



Lerchen- Kartoffel. — Tubers yellow, round, rather small, but 

 numerous ; eyes somewhat sunk ; skin very smooth ; shoot white. 

 Stems medium-sized, but fairly vigorous ; leaves light green ; 

 flowers white. This handsome small variety is very distinct. 

 The tubers are of good quality, but only moderately productive. 



Mangel-Wurzel (Synonyms : Doigt de Dame, Constance Peraut, 

 Catawissa, Bush Potato). — Tubers long, broad, flattened, oblong, and 

 most usually notched, entirely red, or variegated with red and yellow, 

 and generally very large, sometimes weighing over two pounds 

 each. Most commonly they ripen irregularly and keep badly. A 

 late kind, more suitable for feeding cattle than for table use. 



Montana. — Tubers pink, long ; eyes few, flesh yellow. A late 

 variety with erect, strong, brown stems ; flowers lilac- 



Richter's Schneerose. — Tubers large, thick, oblong, white ; eyes 

 faintly marked ; shoot pink. Stems vigorous, erect, about 2\ ft. 

 high. Leaves stiff, broad, round, and of a dark and somewhat 

 gray green. Flowers pink, opening well, but falling off abortive. 



Riesen Sand-Kartoffel (P. de Terre Geante). — Tubers long, 

 flat, yellow variegated with red, especially towards the top ; eyes 

 rather deeply sunk ; shoot pink. Stems short, very stiff, thick, 

 and green ; leaves very much curled arfd reticulated, rather broad, 

 and of a dark green colour ; flowers pink, abortive. 



Rosalie {Paulsen). — Vigorous and productive. Tubers oblong, 

 thick, somewhat knobby, eyes not much sunk, marked with pink, as 



Juno Potato.
