White Star Potatoes
A cross between Excelsior and White Peach Blow. It bears a close resemblance to Burbank seedlings in form, color and yield. It is medium early and one of the best keepers. Very white in flesh, and, whether baked or boiled, is of fine floury texture. The vines are stocky and vigorous and the tubers large, uniform and handsome, their clear wax like whiteness attracting universal attention.
