Early Ohio Potatoes
The Ohio is one of the most numerable seedlings of the Early Rose, but, while almost all of these are so like their parents as to be undistinguishable from it, the Early Ohio, while in color like the Early Rose, is in shape distinct, being round-oblong instead of oval-oblong, so that side by side it is readily distinguishable; eyes about as numerous as those of the parent, while the brows are rather more prominent. On the larger specimens, the cluster of eyes at the seed end are located slightly on one side of the longer axis. Quality excellent. Grown side by side with the Early Rose, it proved a week earlier, while the yield was a third greater.

Early Ohio Potatoes
The Early Ohio has been generally accepted throughout the US as the standard early potato. In color like the Early Rose, its parent, in shape, it is distinct, being round-oblong instead of oval-oblong, so that side by side it is readily distinguishable. Quality always dry and mealy. It is a week earlier than Early Rose, while in many instances the yield is a third greater. To get the best results, plant on rich, rather moist soil. I was the original introducer of this fine potato and my stock is pure.
