1998 Washington Red Regional Trial 
None of the samples showed any tendency toward after cooking darkening. Red LaSoda had some hollow heart in every evaluation. NDO4592-3 had an unpleasant flavor in all evaluations, but, scored the lowest when oven baked. NDO2438-6R sloughed excessively when boiled, for the 2nd year in a row. When DT6063-1R was oven baked or boiled, the stem end remained firm unlike the bud end which was soggy. (Table 1)
