Pearl of Savoy Potatoes
One of the earliest. A cross between Clark's No. 1 and Early Vermont. It closely resembles in general appearance Early Rose, but is earlier and a better cropper. Planted April 7, the vines began to die down July 15. Of seventy seven varieties tested last season in the experimental grounds of Rural New Yorker, this proved to be one of the two earliest and a very heavy cropper.
