THE MARKETS.
?*weet Potatoes North and South
Differ Materially.
The northern and eastern markers
demand a dry, mealy potato, while the
markets of the South much pre*;~ the
fine texture sweet and juicy types.
Growers for the market and fancy
trade should select medium size po
tatoes, sufficient to be served to one
person. Very large potatoes are not
wanted and small potatoes should not
be shipped at all.
For northern, trade the Jersey type
Is the best.
The moist fleshed market varieties
most popular at the present time in
the South are Nancy Hall, Porto Rico,
Triumph and Dooley. The Nancy Hall
is going to be the most popular south
ern variety. It matures early and will
keep until early spring. Vine very lux
uriant; potatoes large, oblong, yellow,
Flesh mottled yellow and white to
deep yellow, being moist and sweet
when cooked. This is a very produc
tive variety.
Early Triumph is a popular variety
of the Jersey type. It is medium size,
quite Iona with blunt ends.
