PEDIGREED IRISH COBBLER POTATO 
An Early Nation-wide Favorite 
T HE Irish Cobbler is probably the 
best known early potato in culti- 
vation. Tubers are round, skin creamy 
white and of excellent quality. Vines 
arc vigorous and of upright habit of 
growth so that hills may be planted 
close together, producing an abun- 
dance of good sized potatoes almost 
all of which are of marketable size. 
80 to 90 Days 
In 80 to 90 days potatoes are ready 
to eat and before the crop fully ma- 
tures arc good quality and will cook 
dry and mealy. 
RECORD YIELD FOR 1920 
was made by the Irish Cobbler potato. 
Prizes of $1,000, $500 and $250 were 
offered for the largest yield from five 
acres of potatoes. The first prize was 
won by Mr. Alexander McPherson, of 
Aroostook County, Maine. Mr. Mc- 
Pherson planted Irish Cobbler pota- 
toes on .May 13th and dug ,Sept. 20th, 
2,672 bushels from the five acres or an 
average of 
534.4 bushels per Acre 
While this yield was obtained by 
the best known means of cultivation 
and fertilizing, it serves as a good il- 
lustration of the possibilities in grow- 
ing potatoes for profit. Not the least 
important factor in securing the large 
yield, was the careful selection of the 
seed planted. 
The seed we offer of the Irish Cob- 
bler is carefully grown from selected 
stock and is sure to give our custo- 
mers satisfactory results.
