Tubers medium size, regular, elongated-oval; eyes very few, almost flat upon the surface; very productive, a good keeper, and matures about 2 weeks later than the Early Rose. Skin russeted, reddish; flesh fine-grained, white, and of excellent quality baked or boiled. Received a first class certificate at the London Potato Show, last autumn.
