THE BANKER 
A New White, Round, Main Crop Potato, Skin White, Eyes nearly flush 
with the surface, Eating Qualities the Best, just the shape the shippers 
want and for which they will pay the highest market price. 
Photograph of an eight acre field of “Banker Potatoes” which yielded 
375 bushels per Acre 
of choice, smooth potatoes with only ordinary farm culture. 
The above crop was grown about 6 miles east of this city on what is known as the “Mulliner Farm” 
which farm was formerly owned by an uncle of the writer of this circular. It is only an ordinary farm and 
the potatoes received only the ordinary farm cultivation practiced in that neighborhood 
nf tV J^e average^ yield of Potatoes in that vicinity was less than 125 bushels per acre. The difference in favor 
oi the Banker being 250 bushels per acre, an increase of 200% over ordinary varieties. 
The scarcity and high prices prevailing for farm labor call for larger yields and less acreage. 
There is little or no money in a crop of potatoes yielding 125 bushels per acre, but there is big monev 
in a crop of potatoes yielding 375 bushels per acre. y 
“I asked a man this morning “How are your potatoes?” 
He answered “Those I bought from you were 0. K. but 
what I planted from my own stock are no good. Next 
season all of my seed potatoes will be bought. It cer- 
tainly pays to buy good fresh seed.”” 
ERNEST GSCHNEIR, 
Bremen, Ohio. 
Buy a bushel or two of “Banker Potatoes” 
this year and Have enough seed for your 
entire planting next year.
