Book excerpt: Excerpt from Olds' Catalog, 1922, Vol. 35: Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, Seed Potatoes; Garden Tools, Poultry Supplies, Insecticides Mr. Riegel sent us three small tubers of the new seedling for trial and we were so well pleased with the way they turned out that the next year we bought the entire stock with exclusive rights. We worked away on them during the next three years increasing the Stock as fast as possible and feeling better pleased with them each year. Description. Olds' White Beauty is just the type that is wanted for an all-round, main crop, white-skinned potato. It is the right shape, nearly round to oval oblong; symmetrical and regular in form; eyes very shallow, so shallow that as one of our customers says: You hardly know they have an eye; beautiful white skin, slightly russeted; strong, vigorous grower, with dark stalks and purple blossoms like Rurals. Earlier than other late sorts. We have always considered W'hite Beauty about the same as Rural New Yorker in season, medium late, but Mr. Dexter, who grew part of our stock, thinks White Beauty is earlier even than Green Moun tain and Green Mountain is earlier than Rural. He says About half our Green Mountain were planted before and half after the White. Beauty. From the time potatoes set until harvest the White Beauty had larger tubers and when we har vested the tops were about a week more mature.
