* [[Pale Perfect Purple]] x [[Purple Price … * [[Pale Perfect Purple]] x [[Purple Price]] cross.
* Tad Smith crossed [[Pale Perfect Purple]] with [[Purple Price]] and sent seeds to Carolyn Male, and she sent seeds to Craig LeHoullier in 1994. Craig grew them out and saved seeds (vial 94-64 - this is F2 seed).
* Denise Salmon, BC received the F2 seed from Craig, grew it in 2006 and selected the best line in the segregation ("C"). Denise described it as:
: "''Likely not stable but delicious; really nice texture and complex, deep, sweet/tart flavour; meaty and juicy, outstanding flavor.''"
* Craig LeHoullier's description of F1:
: "''What Tad [Smith] succeeded in creating was the same uniform purple color - no dark shoulders - of [[Pale Perfect Purple]], but with the size of [[Price's Purple]], on a PL plant. I grew out a few of the F2s in 1996 - don't have detailed notes handy. Hy. Fruit; Ind., potato leaf, large oblate smooth dusky pink/purple, good.''" oblate smooth dusky pink/purple, good.''"
