Ruby Potatoes
A new cross between the Early Rose and White Peachblow. It matures same time as the Early Rose, and is enormously productive, thirty-three bushels having been produced last season from one pound of seed. The flesh is much like the White Peachblow, being white, fine-grained, firm, and of excellent flavor. In shape, it resembles the Early Rose, while in color, the red of the latter is deepened by the carmine blotches of the former. The eyes are carmine, and but slightly sunken. This variety received a certificate of merit in London, 1875.
