Default first or second early?

Another spud problem here - more of a quandary.

I've been growing International Kidney (aka Jerseys) and they are
described by T&M as Second Earlies. Every other seed supplier I looked at
said they were First Earlies.

Who should I believe and should I therefore dig when they flower or when
the foliage dies down?


As has been said in another thread, don't dig them, but carefully scrape
away
the soil around the stem and pick those which are large enough to eat, then
recover the rest for another day.
