Potatoes - Forty-Fold
Looks quite like Edzell Blue; blue skins, white flesh. Good flavoured floury variety; I found it very good; reminiscent of Edzell Blue, but slightly denser texture. No flowers were seen in my container-grown plants. I am told that it is a parent of Kerr's Pink.

Alan Wilson (who wrote The Story of the Potato, 1993, ISBN 0-9520973-1-1) says that it was originally from Lancashire. It had better blight resistance than most, and had a reputation for culinary quality. There was a red-skinned original from which the more widely-grown purple tubers were derived. Its popularity declined after 1860.
