   I remember that Luther Burbank's "Burbank" potato came from one of the   
   seeds from a rare potato fruit.  And I met a fellow at the Seed   
   Saver's Exchange summer meet that breeds potatos (and tomatos) by   
   cross pollinating and growing out the resulting seeds.  He had a   
   number of potato colors bred from Peruvian wild stock.
