McIntyre
Very late maturity
I had talked about this variety many years ago as a candidate for bins.
My only succesful TPS growing was from Durgan's "Russian Blue" in 2010, which produced two purple tubers. Unfortunately I wasn't able to grow the tubers, because my wife trashed them assuming dark potatoes must be diseased. Now I have some of Tom's TPS, and I hope my next experience is more positive.
To make the "experiment" more valid, Durgan could try McIntyre as suggested by Tom and possibly also some of Tom's TPS.
