Gladstone Potatoe SPONSORSHIP for 2011
2nd early potato. Gladstone tubers are white splashed with pink and rarely nearly full red. An oval creamy fleshed potato with great floury texture make this variety a stand out, can be cooked in anyway. Really good!
By sponsoring this potato for a year, you will be helping us to strengthen the genetics of this cultivar, to develop disease resistance and maintain the line, and to make it available to our members and the public in the future ...and for future generations. Thank you!
Your name will be published alongside this potato on our Potato Project thank you list.
