- Large Burbanks
- Photo postcard of ten potatoes and a dish of peas. The potatoes are propped on a leather couch. Caption reads: "12 to 14 in. Burbanks, average 2-lbs., grown near Eagle, Colo." The potatoes were grown on Ben White's Ranch, which was located on lower Brush Creek. A note, written between July 16 and 17, 1923, reads, "The Eagle Valley is a small one but with some nice fields of potatoes. The ones they have photographed are not our ideal of size or shape. After we got back to the endless expanse of the plains these little mountain fields seemed very small but they may function as a potato sanitarium. - a [illegible] of good seed potatoes."
