    The names of the various kinds of potatoes are:- Americans Pinkens, Late Epicures, Early Epicure, British Queens, Kerr-pinks, Banners: Champions, Aran Banners, Banners and Kerr-pinks grow best in this district. Long ago people used to make starch with potatoes, it is still done by some people. The potatoes were grated, and then you squeeze the starch out of them.
