Idaho Baking Russet Potatoes
Also known as Russet Burbank. This is not a new variety but is new in the East. It is the finest baking and cooking potato known and for this reason is well worth raising. Idaho Baking Russet is a late potato of vigorous habit of growth. The tubers are long and taper toward each end. They are almost perfectly smooth with very shallow eyes. They have a thick russet skin which protects them and makes them the best of all winter keepers. They have the finest flavor ever found in a potato. Western growers have been shipping Idaho Baking Russets to eastern markets for several years with wonderful success.
