Atlantic	Mid-season maturity. The tubers are oval to round, smooth; lightly netted to heavily scaled white skin; shallow white eyes; white flesh. High yielding variety, attractive appearance; good tuber set and uniform tuber size and shape. Widely adapted but not recommended for dry sandy soils. Medium dormancy period. They are good for boiling and baking, excellent for chipping and French-frying.
Cal White	Mid to late season maturity. The tubers are oblong; large; rough to netted buff skin; medium deep eyes, intermediate in number, evenly distributed; slightly prominent eyebrows; white flesh. Very high yielding variety with few tubers per plant. Spacing between plants should be very close to avoid oversize tubers. Performs well in hot climates; may form heat sprouts under high soil temperatures. Good resistance to growth cracks, second growth, shatter bruises, hollow heart and heat necrosis; moderately resistant to blackspot bruises; susceptible to net necrosis caused by leafroll. Good storability; short dormancy period; medium high specific gravity. They are excellent for baking and French-frying.
Chieftain	Mid-season maturity. The tubers are oval to oblong, smooth bright red skin, shallow to medium-deep eyes, white flesh. High yielding variety. Widely adapted. Undersizing can be a problem if soil moisture becomes limiting. Well suited for washing at maturity. Good storability. Good to excellent for boiling. Good for pre-peel and fresh French-frying.
Eramosa	Very early maturity. The tubers are oval, semi-flattened, rarely oversized; smooth white skin; shallow eyes; white flesh. High yielding variety; very good resistance to skinning and hollow heart; good storability; medium dormancy period; medium specific gravity. Very good response to green-sprouting; may be harvested at 62 days. Vines die early. Excellent for boiling and baking.
Goldrush	Mid-season maturity. The tubers are oblong to long, dark brown skin, many eyes; shallow and well distributed, they may show a reddish blush after storage, very white flesh. High yielding variety. Tubers are usually smooth and quite uniform with very few external or internal defects. Very good resistance to hollow heart. Good storability. Medium dormancy period. Excellent for baking and boiling. Very good for French-frying if processed after harvest or from short term storage. Its very white flesh, texture and excellent flavour make it particularly suitable for home and restaurant.
Irish Cobbler	Early maturity. The tubers are large to medium-sized; round with flattened ends; smooth creamy white skin; shallow to deep eyes; white flesh. Medium to high yielding variety; widely adapted; highly susceptible to bruising; high specific gravity. Very good for boiling and baking; good chipping quality early in season. Mainly used as a home garden variety.
Kennebec	Mid-season to late maturity. The tubers are elliptical to oblong, medium thick smooth skin, shallow eyes, white flesh. High yielding fast growing variety. Widely adapted. Requires close planting and vine killing to avoid producing oversized and rough tubers. Excellent storage quality. Long dormancy period. Tubers green rapidly when exposed to light. Good to excellent for boiling, baking, chipping and French-frying.
