    The striped champion is the best table potato. The Aran banner is a new variety and it grows very plentiful but it is not much good for table use. The garden filler and the epicure are early potatoes. The Kerr- pink is the surest potato sown.

    The kerr - pink has a white blossom and big heart-shaped leaves. The Champion has a purple blossom and long leaves like a sheep's ears.
