This magnificent new Potato is a cross between the Magnum Bonum and the White Elephant, 
combining the excellent qualities of both; but it more resembles the White Elephant in shape, size, 
enormous productiveness, and fine cooking qualities, with the advantage of having a pure white skin. 
The introduction of such choice varieties as the Magnum Bonum and White Elephant has caused 
quite a revolution in the Potato trade, their immense productiveness and excellent table quality 
have had a great influence in moderating the prices on the Market. This new variety, The Daniels, 
combining as it does the excellent qualities of both, is likely to become a general favourite. We sent 
it out for the first time in 1887, and from the numerous unsolicited testimonials received of its. 
superior merits, have no hesitation in saying it is the best second early white-skinned variety in 
cultivation, and is sure to give satisfaction. 
In the circular issued by the Board of Agriculture, Intelligence Department, October, 1890, 
after an exhaustive enquiry in regard to the Potato Crops throughout the United Kingdom, the 
“DANIELS” is reported as one of the varieties most free from disease.

A correspondent to the above Journal writes : — The Daniels. “ This variety, the result of a cross between Magnum Bonum 
and White Elephant gave me an agreeable surprize, as neither of these varieties is of any use here either as disease resistors or for 
eating purposes. Their “ Bairn,” however, turned out like them in being an enormous cropper with large tubers of even size and) 
handsome form, and not a trace of disease ; of first-rate quality when cooked, being very floury, firsUrate exhibition potato.”
