New Yorker was a very common canning variety in Ontario until the 1970s. Viceroy and Ferguson were also popular. I LOVE the latter two Canucks and aim to try the Valiant and NYer (PGRC 'versions' and one or 2 others) in field trials this year. Sad when one has to compare and contrast for varietal veracity from genebanks.
