\nStroma a second early, gives a good yield of attractive red skinned tubers. It has good resistance to common and powdery scab, and worthwhile resistance to blight. Flesh is waxy and yellow.<\/p>\n
\nTuber characteristics are a smoothness of cream skin\ton an oval tuber. The flesh is light yellow. It is a first early potato that is sweet and well appreciated.<\/p>\n
\nHarmony is ideally suited to the UK giving very high yields of bold bright tubers as a main crop. It has excellent storage characteristics with long natural dormancy and resistance to black dot and silver scurf. Grand for Baking.<\/p>\n
\nFirst early,\u00c2\u00a0 high yielding potato with a tendency to bulk late. High resistance to potato virus and good resistance to common scab, damage and bruising. Firm cooked texture and good boiling quality useful as a salad potato.<\/p>\n
\nProduces extremely early yield of firm, waxy texture tubers. Particularly suited to green top lifting and responds well under polythene. Yields best under long day length conditions of Northern Europe<\/p>\n
\nI have tried to buy these waxy salad potatoes for a couple of seasons and failed to find them. I must leave no stone unturned next year. Pink Fir Apple<\/strong> are an alternative salad potato but they are a pain to peel so leave the skin on<\/p>\n
