Bliss Potato (1937)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   I bring you Bliss potatoes.
   They were also at ELI'S, and they're becoming increasingly popular, especially in Terra Chips.  I didn't find a "Bliss potato" history anywhere on the web.  "Bliss potato" is not in DARE and not in OED.


   3 January 1937, NEW YORK TIMES, pg. 91:
   When Red Bliss potatoes arrive in New York from Texas--as they did last week--it is a sure sign that the dealers are pressed for "spuds."  Usually the Texas potato crop is sold in the Middle West; it seldom gets to the Atlantic.
