Thanks, everyone now or in the future for ordering off the New World Seeds & Tubers website
Just for the record, these additions will be added to the website under TPS, but not tubers
Missaukee OctoberWill produce mostly reds and pinks with white flesh, occasionally a few white skin. Round tubers. Primary interest should be for segregating for Late Blight resistance, Pink Rot resistance. Verticillium Wilt and Golden Cyst Nematode
A few other considerations…most reds do not fry well without turning dark. Many seedlings here will be more versatile for a variety of cooking needs, lower sugars and higher specific gravities.
Augustus Most will segregate for oval to long yellow skinned tubers with some degree of yellow flesh. They should be an occasional red skin seedling. Looking for high yielding seedling clones with floury texture.
Quarter MasterLooking for shiny round blue tubers with about a quarter of the flesh blue.
Phyto PhyterHigh yielding white round to oblong tubers with white flesh. Should be a good source of late blight resistance. Phyto is short for late blight and Phyter if a rhyming pun for fighter.
Johann PeukerShould segregate for white to brown tubers of a round to slightly flattened appearance. Many will have great scab resistance. Should be good for frying. Low internal problems
Skagit BeetsMany will be red skin with pink to red flesh. Round to sl. Oblong
Toro PanThis one should segregate mostly for large red skin tubers with some white flesh and a few light yellow fleshed. The flavors will tend towards pleasant flavors.
Hearts of SwedenSearching for a Desiree type of potato…light red skin with some yellow flesh. The main interest I have is to get the recombination of the Rosamunda Swedish variety within the seedlings. Trying to get that "
Oh, Yeah" flavor.
Tollocan FiestaThis family of seedlings should be either white, yellow, pink, or red. The yields and blight resistances are among the reasons to grow this one. Very large plants.
AshmontLook for russets within this family. High solids for baking
Good keepers
Caroline GeppertMany round whites with scab resistance. Good table potato with lots of Wauseon type traits.
Finishing UpSeveral years of recombinant work with Yellow Finn and my Black Hills Gold puts together some excellent flavored yellow potatoes with round to long shapes predominating. Since it is an inbreeding family, care must be given to find the rare high yielders.
Boy PigMostly yellow tubers with slight to heavy red splashes on the skin. Yellow flesh. Good flavor.
TransitionsLook for round yellow tubers with red eyes to pretty red tubers.
It should offer very yellow to white flesh. The main objective is to find maturity transitions from late to very very early clones.
Designer RosesLook for super red tubers with white flesh. High yielding tuber lines should be a major concern. You should be able to find that 'New Potato Flavor" from fresh harvested potatoes through the long storage.
Near YukonThis one has Yukon Gold in its pedigree and I am looking for some clones with near alike YG as possible but with even better flavor.
HuagalinaThis old variety from the Andes has good flavor and gorgeous red and yellow splashed round tubers with deep eyes. It will throw many yellow fleshed seedlings with super high tuber counts per hill. Most of the seedlings will have tubers no bigger than golf balls. It is one hardy "Son of a Gun" potato
Gold CaesarThis combines the best of European potato flavor with a heavy dose of Canadian and American bloodlines. The addition of Andean Neo-tuberosum just adds to the mix. Mostly round yellows with yellow flesh.
KivaMostly round whites with white to pale yellow flesh. This forty year old Danish variety is good for salads and has the chance to yield well. The pedigree goes back to Karma and Up To Date. Good berry producer.
La PanIf you are looking for yellow fleshed fingerling potatoes, this is the one. It combines LaRatte and Gold Pan for a full flavor combination of some of the best tasting potatoes from around the world.
RussetoEvery now and then I find a potato clone that doesn’t fit the pedigree and becomes an orphan. The white fleshed russet will segregate for the same.
October BloodThis one will segregate for reds and blues…many with white, red and or blue flesh. Most will be rounds.
Land RacesThis combines the true seed of many individual plants out of a cross of two land races from Bolivia and Peru. All colors will be popping up.
Cascading TomMany oval yellow tubers with yellow flesh. If you are looking for one of the best flavored potatoes for microwaving…this is the top one. Pretty smooth and shiny tubers.
Lady KrokarThis is a seedling from Roda Krokar, a Swedish variety that had floury pink fingerling potatoes. Most fingerlings are salad types of potatoes, therefore this one is good for dishes requiring the full texture of a "Queenie"!!!
Squat OrangeI took a Squat Blue that was the result of a diploid cross from Joe Pavek (ADX9502) to my Tres Papas and then crossed it to a Papa Amarilla type to get an outstanding orange fleshed diploid. This one is more complicated than my Skagit Valley Gold…but if you can help me find the deepest orange fleshed potatoes…so be it.
Prince HarryHoping to improve the flavor of the Prince Harry (different than King Harry) but retain the trichome hairs to implement insect protection. Pest species adversely affected by glandular trichomes include the Colorado potato beetle, green peach aphid, potato leafhopper, potato flea beetle, and spider mites. You should find 100% of the seedlings with round white tubers. Source was NYL 235-4, released about 20 years ago by Cornell.
Red White and BlueThis clone which I no longer have was a reddish purple skinned oval potato with blue and white flesh. Quite a combination, but the seedlings may throw even more surprises.
Suytu VilquinaOne of the 4,235 reasons to save some old varieties of potatoes from the Andes. PI 642184. Solanum tuberosum L.
Landrace. CIP 702244; SUYTU VILQUINA; Q 44476. Collected 08/24/2005 in
Ayacucho, Peru. Latitude 13° 1' 12" S. Longitude 73° 58' 48" W.
Elevation 3600 m. P. La Mar. Hacienda Paria (San Miguel). Primitive
cultivar. Tuber moth resistance.
Pink tubers should show up again. This one has good berry production and should be grown to prove you are a hero.
www.rootsforlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/screenshot89.png as it could easily be one of those.
King HarryNy 131 is the experimental name for this white potato with trichome hairs for insect resistance. It is an improvement over the Prince Harry, especially for flavor. The seedlings will segregate for the trichome hairs coming from S. berthaultii. If you grow these, I can help you identify the trichome hairs.
Gold ThumbsOne of my colorful crosses has been Amarilla Eyes crossed to Thumb Dinger. This is a family from that cross that has hundreds of berries. All colors of fruits and it has colorful fruits to boot. This is a splendid diploid composite.
Redder BloodWhen I grew out seedlings from the Blue Blood Russet, I was able to get some good red flesh lines. This should segregate for mostly red skin, red flesh clones.
For the record, I have only 7 of the 32 clones left in my collection, therefore the TPS won't be available after this supply is gone.
