Potatoes - Flourball

1895 - Early Maincrop. Skin is pink/red with white flesh that is very floury and full of flavour. Tubers are round and very long keeping. This old variety has been much used in the breeding of modern Arran varieties. My experiences: large but slender haulms rather like those of British Queen; no flowers, not much trouble with blight, a bit like "Up-To-Date"; very good flavour. Yield in pots low - about 1lb.

The picture isn't very good; my tubers had been stored a while before I realized I had no photo ...
