Atlantic
Mid-season maturity. Tubers are oval to round, smooth; lightly netted to heavily scaled white skin; shallow white eyes; white flesh. High yielding variety, attractive appearance; good tuber set and uniform tuber size and shape. Widely adapted but not recommended for dry sandy soils. Medium dormancy period. Good for boiling and baking, excellent for chipping and French-frying.

Cal White
Mid to late season maturity. The tubers are oblong; large; rough to netted buff skin; medium deep eyes, intermediate in number, evenly distributed; slightly prominent eyebrows; white flesh. Very high yielding variety with few tubers per plant. Performs well in hot climates; may form heat sprouts under high soil temperatures. Good resistance to growth cracks, second growth, shatter bruises, hollow heart and heat necrosis. Good storability; short dormancy period; medium high specific gravity. They are excellent for baking and French-frying.

Chieftain
Mid-season maturity. The tubers are oval to oblong, smooth bright red skin, shallow to medium-deep eyes, white flesh. High yielding variety. Widely adapted.

Very good resistance to hollow heart. Good storability. Medium dormancy period. Excellent for baking and boiling. Very good for French-frying if processed after harvest or from short term storage.

La Rouge
Medium maturing variety that has a high yield potential of tubers that size early. Plants are medium large and spreading. Tubers are medium in size, oblong and somewhat irregular in shape. Skin is smooth and has a bright red color. Color fades as tubers mature. Eyes are moderately deep and well distributed. Tuber flesh is medium white to cream. Low specific.

Red Pontiac
Mid-season to late maturity. The tubers are oblong to round smooth (sometimes netted) red skin, medium deep eyes, white flesh. Fair to good for boiling, baking, chipping and French-frying depending on maturity.High yielding variety. Widely adapted. Some drought resistance, bruises easily, susceptible to air cracking at harvest. Good storability. Medium dormancy.

Russet Burbank
Large, long, cylindrical or slightly flattened, lightly to heavily netted russet-colored skin, many shallow evenly distributed eyes, white flesh. Medium to high yielding variety. Washes well at maturity. Long dormancy period, stores well. Requires a uniform moisture supply and long growing season to produce maximum quality tubers and to prevent knobbiness and second growth. Excellent for boiling, baking, chipping, and French-frying.

Russet Norkotah
Long to slightly oblong, smooth. Heavy, dark, russeted and netted skin. Shallow bright golden eyes, white flesh. Medium yielding variety. Wide adaptability. Resistant to hollow heart. Good storability. Medium dormancy period. Tuber shape and type are very appropriate for the count-carton market. Not well suited for processing. Good for baking. Poor to moderate for boiling with some after cooking discoloration. Poor for chipping.
