Q Will you oblige me with a description of the new potato Eldorado, its growth, colour of bloom, height and the best mode of cultivation for large crops?

A Eldorado is a kidney or pebble-shaped maincrop variety, of a robust habit, dark foliage, heliotrope flowers tipped with white. The haulm is of medium height.
