Summary
Red LaSoda produces a very attractively colored tuber and several growers are anxious to obtain seed tubers. It has proven its adaptability in the seed-producing areas of the North and also its superior yielding ability over Triumph in the southern potato-producing areas. The Red LaSoda variety will yield equally as well as LaSoda and the tubers do not require added coloring to make an attractive product. The quality of the tubers is equally as good as most potato varieties grown in the southern states.
The authors feel that this potato variety has a definite place in the potato trade. There is always a heavy market demand for attractive red-colored tubers from most of the potato-growing areas of the United States.
