| This is a medium yielding, oblong-shaped, light red-skinned tuber with late maturity. It is a tablestock variety.
We have never grown, eaten, nor ever even seen the Garnet Chili. However, it should be known that this is perhaps the most important variety in North American potato growing. It is an 1853 seedling of the Rough Purple Chili procured by The Rev. Chauncey Goodrich from South America in 1851 in a attempt to stave off the then on-going problem of potato degeneration. Off spring of the Garnet Chili subsequently produced a vast percentage of the most successful potato varieties of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. |
