Descriptions. 
An endeavour has been made to group the varieties most nearly 
allied close together. Thus, very closely allied to ' Abundance ' (No. 
41) are Nos. 7, ' The Diamond ' ; 8, ' The Provost ' ; 12/ Patagonian ' ; 
16, ' Culdees Castle ' ; 31, ' King Albert ' ; 44, ' The Crofter ' ; and 46, 
' The Admiral.' These are therefore grouped together (see also p. 120). 
Like them in most of its characters, but quite distinct in the colour 
of its flowers, is ' Burnhouse Beauty ' (Nos. 9 and 15), and this is 
therefore placed near to the Abundance Group, but with spaces 
and rows of asterisks separating it from them and from the group 
which follows, and so on. The grouping adopted is at present purely 
tentative, but it is hoped to develop this method of classifying potatos 
further as opportunity occurs. We wish to place on record our 
thanks to Messrs. Bone, Lasham, and Snell in connexion with this 
work. 
a. Tubers Kidney, White or Yellow. 
59. Reading Giant (Fidler). — Plant dull green ; haulm small,
