Yellow flesh, long storage.
Many consider this variety to be the best eating potato. The mature tubers are medium-large, oval-round, with a yellowish buff, finely flaked skin and pink eyes. Light yellow, tasty, medium-dry flesh for any cooking style. Attractive tubers have long dormancy (sprout resistance) and store very well. Large, upright, violet-flowered plants with resistance to leaf roll and potato virus A. Organically grown.
Days to Maturity or Bloom: (Early-mid)

Growing Information:
Potatoes
CULTURE: All potatoes are Certified Potato Seed Grade. Well-drained soils of a wide pH range are suitable.
PREPARING SEED TUBERS: Cut the tubers into pieces roughly 1 1/2-2 oz. (1-1 1/4" diameter), with at least one "eye" on each piece. It is best to cut seed potatoes at least a day ahead of planting to allow the cut surfaces to dry. We try to supply "B" size tubers, intentionally graded on the small side for seed use, as they do not need cutting. Potatoes are tolerant of cool soil and moderate frost. In early to midspring, plant cut or whole seed pieces 2-3" deep, 12" apart, in rows 30-36" apart. Plants will emerge 2-3 weeks later, sooner in warmer soil. When the plants are about a foot tall, hill them with a continuous 6-8" high mound of soil by hoeing from each side of the row. (Some growers hill a second time 2-3 weeks later.) Hilling insures protection from sunlight which causes "greening".
INSECT PESTS: Row covers work great to exclude potato beetles! Otherwise, scout for yellow potato beetle eggs on leaf undersides and crush them. Control potato beetle larvae and adults with spinosad. (See Index).
DISEASES: The best disease control is fertile soil and plenty of water when needed. Scab (scabby patches on potatoes) is largely avoided if soil is not allowed to become dry.
HARVEST: Young, small, "new" potatoes can be harvested beginning about 7-8 weeks after planting. In fall, after foliage is dry or when tubers have reached full size, dig the entire crop, allowing surfaces to dry before storing. Store in a cool but not freezing, ideally 35-45°F/2-7°C, dark place.
AVG. PLANTING RATE: 10 lb./80-100' at 12" spacing; 110 lb./1,000'; 1,600 lb./acre in rows 36" apart.
SEED SPECS: TUBER PIECES/LB.: avg. 8-10 pieces/lb. Fingerling type: avg. 20 pieces/lb., plants 20'.
