In the Hastings area of Florida, the Katahdin variety replaced the Spauld ing Rose during the period 1938 to l9hl, but it was soon replaced by the Sebago variety, which was planted on about 95 percent of the acreage in 1950 In 1950 the new late blight resistant variety Kennebec was recommended for trial by growers in the Hastings area Cherokee2/, another late blight and also scab resistant variety was tested by Eddins et, al0 (l) for three years at Hastings and Sanford, Floridao In five trials the average y1eld of Cherokee was 11h percent of that of Sebago (1) but, it was dropped from the tests in 1951 because of the tendency of the variety to form knobs at the eyes and stem ends of the tubers as they approached maturityo3/ During the 1950 season, shipping tests were made at Charleston, South Carolina comparing the Kennebec and Sebago varieties, Results from these tests indicated that the Kennebec variety was unsuited for commercial ship ping and handl1ng when grown under South Carolina conditions Commercial growers in the Hastings area who tried the Kennebec variety experienced re sults similar to those obtained in the shipping tests at Charleston, This made it desirable to get more definite information on how this variety res ponded to commercial shipping and handl1ng when grown in the Hastings area.

A Comparison of Sebago, Cherokee (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book evaluates differences between Sebago, Cherokee, and Kennebec potato varieties for shipping and making chips. The author compares their maturity rates, appearances, resistances to defects like bruising and disease, and taste based on chip color. With roughly equal weight-loss during transit, Cherokee potatoes exhibit the least skinning, browning, and decay. While Sebago potatoes show the most injuries, they are the most resistant to decay. Meanwhile, Kennebec potatoes have the highest specific gravity and chip color variation, but also the most blackleg, deep-pitted scab, and greening. These findings provide valuable insights for potato farmers and shippers in selecting varieties best suited for their needs, contributing to the broader understanding of potato cultivation and distribution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781390477733_0
