A NEW, WHITE, 
MAIN-CROP 
VARIETY 
An entirely new, 
white skinned, 
main-crop 
variety obtained 
from a seed- ball 
four years ago. 
This one seedling 
was remarkable 
from the start 
for its 
GREAT 
VIGOR, 
LARGE 
YIELD 
and 
UNIFORM 
SHAPE. 
It was not only far superior 
to and distinct from the hun- 
dreds of other seedlings but has 
proven itself superior to all the similar 
varieties by the side of which it has been tested. 
DESCRIPTION: The shape and general characteristics are well shown by the above cut 
which was made direct from a photograph. 
EATING QUALITIES: It Cooks White, Dry and Mealy and has an exceptionally fine flavor. 
Mr. McHendrix received his 30 pounds of seed potatoes and 
said they are the best potatoes he ever saw.

I got seed potatoes from you over 15 years ago and they yielded 
400 bushels per acre. What is your best main crop potato now? 
T. G. Tasker, Linn Co., la. 
Can you still furnish potatoes in 30 pound lots? A large number 
of my customers are expressing regret that they did not order 
more * Smith Beardsley, St. Lawrence Co., N.Y. 
Sixteen years ago I bought some White Giant Potatoes of you. 
They have always been my choice. Please quote me prices and 
also send description of varieties you recommend now.

The year 1916 was very disastrous to the potato crop. Many fields in this vicinity were 
total failures and left undug. We do not believe the average yield in this County exceeded 
33 or 40 bushels per acre and yet the “SPENCER POTATO” with only ordinary farm culture 
yielded over 200 bushels per acre of splendid stock, outyielding all the ordinary varieties, 
several times over and were the wonder of the neighborhood in which they were grown.
