GER-A-InTO INTE!~W POTATO, 
DUKE OF YORK, 
Has during the past season produced Sixteen Tons an acre of clean, 
handsome tubers, with ordinary field cultivation. 
DUKE OF YORK. 
For several years past we have been fortunate from time to time in introducing to the 
horticultural public some very fine Novelties in the way of Potatoes, which have taken a high 
position in the estimation of the gardening public, and we have this season much pleasure 
and confidence in introducing our superb New White Kidney Potato, DUKE OF YORK, which 
we feel sure will at once be placed in the front rank as a really first-class variety. 
DUKE OF YORK originated from a cross between Early Primrose and King Kidney, and 
first attracted attention by its handsome appearance, and wonderful productiveness, in which 
respects (for a potato of such fine qualities) it far out-rivals any of the best kinds now in 
cultivation, having yielded at our Seed Farm, during the past season, Sixteen Tons an acre 
of handsome marketable tubers, with but very few small, and an entire absence of disease. 
In habit of growth it is very compact, the haulm being only a foot high; the leaves are 
smooth, and of a rich glossy green colour, whilst the tubers cluster compactly around the 
stem, and are very easy to raise. 
The tubers are large, oval, smooth, and handsome and distinct in appearance; the eyes are 
few and quite even with the surface, ensuring the minimum of waste; the flesh is very fine 
grained, dry and mealy when cooked, and of the most excellent flavour. 
Its earliness, combined with its many fine qualities, will make it an especial favourite, and 
greatly increase its value as a market Potato, as it may be lifted with such varieties as Early 
Rose, and most of the Ash-leaved sorts, and, planted early, will, in ordinary seasons, finish its 
growth before the disease makes its appearance. 
Owing to its handsome shape and appearance, DUKE OF YORK will soon become a 
leading variety for exhibition, whilst its wonderful productiveness and splendid qualities for 
the table will make it one of the best and most profitable Potatoes alike for the farmer and 
the private grower.
