1998 Washington Regional Specialty Trial
All clones had yellow flesh as did AO90319-1, while the other numbered line NDC4069-4R/R, had red flesh. Photovolt readings are numerical values given to lightness and darkness. Colored flesh of all entries may explain lower Photovolt readings given. Crispin received the most consistant ratings when baked, boiled and microwaved of all the entries. None of the entries sloughed excessivly when boiled although NDC4069-4R/R had a waxy texture. Red Gold scored the highest when french fried.
