Uncle Gideon's Quick Lunch Potatoes
The tubers are nearly globular in form; they run the most uniform in size, color, and quality of any extra early potato. The yes are shallow, with a pinkish cast around each eye, while the smooth brownish-white skin is also flaked rosy crimson. The stalks grow stiffly erect and are closely set with deep green foliage; the leaves are broad and flatly spread. The foliage retains its vigor and rich coloring until the plants are full grown. Although maturing so quickly, it is an immense cropper, producing very few small tubers, the crop invariable finishing perfectly even in size. Lb 30 cts.; 3 lbs for 75 cts.
