SECOND-EARLY POTATOS AT WISLEY. 1920. 
46. * Sir Edward Carson ' (' British Queen ' type), raised by Mr. 
Sands. 
29. ' Berwick Castle,' sent out by Messrs. Sutton. 
Commended : 
33. * Early Round,' sent out by Messrs. Laing and Mather. 
63. ' K. of K. No. 2,' raised by Mr. Findlay. 
Awards had previously been made to other second-early or early maincrop 
varieties represented in the trial (in addition to old awards mentioned above) as 
follows. These were passed over by the Committee on this occasion. No. 28, 
'Stirling Castle,' A.M. 1915 (Sutton); No. 31, 'Windsor Castle,' F.C.C. 1893 
(Sutton) ; and No. 49, Jeanie Deans,' F.C.C. 1893 (Carter). 
We have grouped together the varieties in the trial which were 
most alike, following the plan commenced in vol. xliii. p. 137. The 
crop given represents the weight obtained from 40 tubers. The notes 
on disease refer to ' blight ' due to Phytophthora infestans. 
We have to acknowledge with grateful thanks the help rendered 
us by Messrs. Bone and Lasham in comparing the different varieties 
and arriving at conclusions regarding their identity.
