Within the last few weeks I
bave received a lot of questions
about different varieties of
potatoes from my readers and
at various garden clubs.
Therefore, 1 am devoting this
column to potatoes.
Potatoes come in white,
yellow, red, even blue; in all
shapes from short, slender
"fingers" to broad, oval tubers
six inches long.
Viking. This red-skinned
potato matures earlier than
most potatoes producing three
to four inch tubers in as few as
70 days. Left to grow, will reach
jumbo size. Each hill should
yield six to eight smooth-
skinned potatoes ranging in
size front tennis balls to softball
size.
Butte. This new long potato
is a russet variety and will
produce up to 25 percent more
top quality potatoes with 58
percent more vitamin C and 20
percent more protein than the
popular Russett Burbank. Sets
sprout well, and produce
smooth, flat, oval potatoes
measuring about three inches
long. They are flesh yellowish
and taste bland when baked.
They suffer from blight but not
scab.
Kennebec. This potato tastes
light and delicate at any size
and gives many large, smooth,
well-shaped potatoes. They are
oval, slightly flat, an all-pur-
pose variety that s good baked,
broiled, fried or creamed. It has
a smooth texture, thin, with a
cream-colored skin for new
potatoes." It will store well in
root cellars. It matures mid to
late season and stubbornly
resists blight and mild mosaic.
Irish Cobbler. Many try these
in order to get the very earliest
white potatoes. The texture is
cream-colored with oblong
tubers that are characteris-

Potatoes
tically coarse. They do not store
as well as Kennebec or Red
Pontiac and they adapt to
almost every area and resist
mild mosaic.
Red Pontiac. This is a mid to
late season potato. It produces
many large, rosy-red, smooth-
skinned potatoes with crisp
white flesh. It matures late in
the season but develops tubers
early for "new" potatoes. They
resist scab well and yield six to
eight baseball-size potatoes per
plant.
All Blue. This is an unusual
variety with blue skin and blue
flesh. It tastes like common
potatoes when boiled or baked.
The deep blue skins turn
purplish brown when baked.
The sets germinate poorly.
They have oblong tubers that
range from one to four inches
with smooth skins and resist
scabs.
Red Norland. This is the
best-tasting, early red-skinned
potato. It is delicious boiled,
moist and smooth-texture when
baked. The plants from seeds
were small and died off early,
but produced as many big
potatoes as those from certified
sets. They resist scab fairly
well, but do not resist most
other common potato diseases.
This is a thick, white-fleshed
variety developed in North
Dakota.
White Rose. This variety will
yield six to eight long. flat,
ellipitical potatoes, that are
smooth-skinned, with very little
scab. They often grow in
irregular shapes, but are all
right for boiling. The taste is
moderately flavorful when
baked, but the potato has a
tough, rough skin.
This information is offered to
help you select the variety for
vour home garden.
Good gardening until next
week from your Garden Editor,
Ted Brice.

PEOPLE POWER. Behind your electrical
plug are thousands of people. TP&L
people. People searching for fuels.
Building plants. Stringing transmission
lines. Generating the power you use.
People working around the clock, day-in
and day-out trying to bring you uninter-
rupted electrical service. So when you
turn on a switch or plug in a cord, take
us for granted. We want you to. It’s a
compliment to us. It says we’re doing
our job well.
