The USDA GRIN gopher seems to be online but too busy to connect. You will need Firefox 1.5 or later or a Gopher browser.

I plucked out all of the Mikado accessions that they had back in the early 1990s - all of them were highly crossed/mixed up (regular and potato leaf pinks and reds from each) - and selected a pink potato leaf to examine more fully - that is what I sent to Australia, and made its way to Bully and others. To me, the fruit size isn't as large as I expected, and it really didn't have near the quality of Brandywine.
