New Kind Introduced Which is Expected to Drive ; All Others Out, Luther Barbank, of San Francisco, who developed the potato hearing hic name, and who has brought out a seedless plum, has just produced a new potato which, he thinks, will supplant the present :arieties. He is now trying to make it a little larger. With the skill he has in being able to pro- duce large or small varieties at will, this . achievement is only a matter of time. About a year and a halt ago Mr. Bur- bank received from a remote part of South America some potatoes to work upon. ~ He crossed and 1ecrossed and recrossed plants, and today he says he has between 20,000 and 30,000 of new varieties of new potatoes under his care. The new potato will be sweeter than the old one. Its pulp will be almost of carrot hue and will be very palatable. bank says the new kind of potato will rev- olutionize the potato industry. : puna Real Estate Transfers.
