About this title

Synopsis

This book presents a new system of classification for potatoes, organizing over 170 American varieties into 11 groups. This framework provides a solution to the complex problem of categorizing the many potato varieties developed in the United States, a task made especially difficult by the fact that many varieties are known by different names in different parts of the country. The author begins by classifying the varieties through 10 main groups based on characteristics such as tuber shape, skin color, sprout coloration, and blooming color. A final grouping accommodates varieties that defy easy classification within the main groups. This groundbreaking classification system will be an invaluable resource for potato enthusiasts and scholars alike, and should prove useful in breeding projects and historical research. The insights provided by this work will likely have lasting significance for the study and cultivation of potatoes in the United States and beyond.
