HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
LATE POTATOES FOR WINTER USE 
T>ESIDES being better keepers than early sorts, the 
U late maturing kinds usually yield heavier crops, due 
generally to the greater size attained by the individual 
tuber. But this again depends largely on the soil, season, 
and the adaptability of different varieties to different 
sections. 
Green Mountain is perhaps the most popular of all 
the late varieties in most sections. The individual tubers 
grow to good size, are generally borne six to eight to the 
hill, averaging a total of three to four pounds. The pota- 
toes vary from flat round to elongated oval, have a white 
netted skin and are of excellent cooking qualities. (See 
a good “hill” above.) 
Carman No. 3, Rural New Yorker, and Vermont Gold 
Coin are other excellent late sorts. Carman No. 3 is a 
particular favorite because of the compact manner in 
which it grows its hills of tubers. The prize for quality in 
cooking mealy goes, perhaps, to Vermont Gold Coin.
