$12 eyes planted May 15. 
It appears that the largest merchantable yield was from the small 
tuber of the Defiance, the second was from the large tuber of the O. 
K. Mammoth, and the third was from the large tuber of the Corless 
Matchless. Calculating the yields of these varieties per acre, allow- 
ing every eye to have grown, and sixty pounds to the bushel, the De- 
fiance would have yielded nearly 455 bushels of merchantable tubers; 
the O. K. Mammoth nearly 426 bushels, and the Corless Matchless a 
little over 399 bushels ver acre. 
The largest total yield was also from the small tuber of the Defi- 
ance—at the rate of nearly 580 bushels per acre; the second from the 
0. K. Mammoth, nearly 474 bushels, and the third from Burpee’s 
Empire State, nearly 466 bushels per acre. 
The smallest yield was from the Bodega Red, which yielded no 
merchantable tubers. This variety should hardly be compared with 
the others, however, as it is quite distinct in some respects, and has 
even been considered a distinct species. It is said that in the dry 
summers of California, this potato grows fully two months longer 
than other kinds, and produces large tubers, which are of good qual- 
ity. 2 
Throwing out the Bodega Red, the smallest merchantable yield 
was from the White Kidney, which produced less than five bushels 
ifornia---.---.------------- 



per acre, and the smallest total yield was from the small tuber of 
Bliss’ Triumph, which yielded a little more than seventy-five bushels 
per acre. The large tuber of the same variety, however,~ yielded 
more than double this amount.
