ture. says the Washington Star
Nobody yet knows wnat may come
from these potatoes They are simply re-
marlkable finds that may add largely to
the history of the product because they
seem to be some of the early, elemental
types. But they may be valuable for
standing cold, heat or drouth. and they
may form valuable hybrids with some of
the native stock.
Some of the new potatoes look like lit
tie bananas with case of scarlet fever.
They are shaped like very small banana
and have skin so thin that they are not
even peeled in cooking. Their founda-
ton color is yellow, but there are streaks
of scarlet scattered over the root at irreg-
ular intervals.
Another variety of tho little potato is
also red, or CHIEFLY red. making II look
rather like radish. Both are said to be
good. There is another that is about the
most lhnpy, bumpy looking root imagin-
able. 1t is the color of an orthodox sweet
potato, but when 1t is cut open the inside
is buff yellow.
Possibly the most remarkable looking
of the collection is an exact imitation of
a Frankfurter sausage. 1t has the color,
the shape and the surface texture Waht
it tastes like when cooked is mystery.
