Other inferior varieties confused with the Burbank are the White Chief, White Star and Pingree.
The Burbank Russet (Fig. III) is a long, russet, late potato differing mainly from the Burbank in its heavily russeted skin. Very fine for baking. Suitable for low, moist, friable and peaty soils.
The Early Ohio (Fig. IV) is the leading early potato in Minnesota. The type is oval with a pinkish or flesh colored skin. It is particularly suited to the black, rich, friable soils.
The Triumph (Fig. V) is a round, red, very early potato, valuable for southern seed trade. It suffers severely from drought, and, therefore, soils subject to this condition should be avoided.
Similar or identical varieties are Red Bliss, Bliss, Triumph and Stray Beauty.
The Irish Cobbler is a promising white, early, roundish potato of good quality, although inferior to the Early Ohio. It has not been sufficiently tested out, but is promising for southern seed trade.
Similar variety is the Extra Early Eureka.
The King is a broad, oblong, reddish potato. Very suitable for worn-out and sandy soils.
Similar or identical variety is the Maggie Murphy.
