SEED. POTATO TRUE TO TYPE
Pearl Variety Is Rather Vigorous,
Heavy Yielder-Type is Some
s"' -. what FIattened Oval,
](BY' c. L. FINCH, COLORADO AGRI-
,@~& CULTURAL ICOLLEGE.) ,zs@

>(BY c. L. FINCH, COLORADO AGRI-
'@%& CULTURAL >COLLEGE.) zc@
r" Growers of potatoes should always
remember that the round, or oval,
smooth, few-eyed tubers are an arti-
f1cial and not natural product. The
development and the selection given
the potato in the 400 years since it
was discovered by white men count
very little in inheritance aG compared
with the unknown thousands of years
In which the potato was a wild noun
tain plant with long, small, many
eyed tubers. = - - ~
For this reason all seed potatoes
should be true and very true to the
artificial and improved type of the
particular variety, because only so
can we count on overcoming the ten
dency to run out, which is nothing
more than the call of the wild inher-
ttance back to wild and comparatively
useless shape and to the small yield
also Of the old wild FORMS
The Pearl potato is a rather vigor-
GUS, heavy yielder. It's type is some
what flattened oval, with rather prom
1nent eyes and recessed stem end.
The tendency given the variety when
originated was to round out about the
stem, leaving it recessed. A Pearl with
q flush stem end is better eating DO
tato, because more easily pared; but
such a flush stem end Pearl is of no
account for seed, because unless we
have the typical form we never have
the vigor and the high yield (unless
the natural conditions of the year be
exceptionally good).
Similarly, no one should use Peach
blows for seed that have any tendency
to be long or even oval, because
Peachblows are typically round. Ru-
rails or Ohios with tendency to
pointed or nosey seed ends have lost
their power to produce typical shapes
or large yields. With the possible
exception of the stem end of Rurals,
tendency to points on either end of
the tubers of any variety should bar
their use as seed. ~
Variations from trueness to type
show most in large potatoes, less in
small tubers. Hence, If small seed is
used, much greater care is needed to
secure exact trueness to type in order
to get high yields and vigor. =. sEj55
