Finch's Purple Potatoes
This is the only one of several purple varieties of potatoes I have ever raised that has proved on my grounds to be a first-rate cropper. The potatoes are nearly round in form, run almost uniformly large and have that peculiar rough, russety skin that almost always indicates a mealy potato. The flesh is very white. Worthy of general trial.
