and many others, and a number of new varieties that have proven worthv of 
introduction, as follows: The Up-to-Date, a new late potato of wonderful 
1 • ii r . . . merit, grown from seed imported direct trom Ireland: Quick Lunch , a most 
desirable first early for the family garden; and four more that were “best by test” three years in succession on 
the Eden Trial Grounds in Massachusetts, where over one thousand varieties were under trial 
Our smallest sale last year was one bushel; our largest 7,000 bushels, or fourteen car-loads-and each of 
these customers has bought his seed potatoes of us again for this spring’s planting. Whether vou use a bushel 
or a car-load, you should have our catalog, as our prices are lower than you can procure the same hffih-erade 
Seed Potatoes for elsewhere, as we are located in the country, own our own Seed Farms, warehouses with nrivate 
switches from the Lehigh Valley and New York Central Railroads, have no high-priced city rents to Dav 
and therefore we are in position to sell better goods for less money than is any other firm in this country. 
DIBBLE’S SEED POTATOES are good Seed Potatoes. They are recommended by Agricultural Colleges 
Experiment Stations, Officials of the Department of Agriculture of the United States and of Canada Editors of 
^n-kM Papers ; and thousands of satisfied farmers, over one hundred of whom have written us that 
Dibble s Seed Potatoes have doubled their crops.” What they have done for others they will do for you

outyielded other kinds grown alongside two to one.” Our 
oats are thoroughly recleaned.

ductive Flint corn grown, ripening with us 
here in western New York in 100 days. 
Stalks average 8 to 10 feet in height, ears 
10-15 inches long. This is the corn that 
gave H. A, Medlong of Oswego Co., N. Y. 
400 bushels from two acres, equal to over 
115 bushels of shelled corn per acre and 
produced for O. D. Blanchard of New 
Hampshire, 243 bushels from a peck of seed. 
Bushel,$2.00; 2-bushel bag,$3.00; 10bushels, 
$1.40 per bushel. Bags free. Send for 
samples. Test it yourself.

it does not cost over 50c. an acre to plant your field with Dibble’s Seed Corn. We have five silos 
on our own farms, grow over 1,000 tons of corn for ensilage annually, besides what we husk, and what 
we know aboil t corn is worth something to you. Send us your seed corn orders, examine the corn upon 
arrival, and il you think it is not as good as we say it is return it at once and get your money back

Dibble’s Early Yellow Dent 
Without question the best dent for the silo, 
where seasons are short and frost comes 
early. On our farms, it has proven earlier 
than the well known Pride of the North, 
produces at least a third more foliage and 
is a wonderful yielderas it grows as a rule, 
when properly planted, two ears per stalk. 
Several customers have written us that 
this variety has matured with them in 
80 days, but it takes slightly longer than 
that with us here in western New York. 
We offer only high grade pedigree seed 
from hand-picked seleoted ears showing 
a germination test of 95-98£. 
Bushel,$2.00; 2-oushel bag, $3.00; 10bushels 
or over, $1.40 per bushel. Bags free. Liberal 
samples for the asking.

EDWARD F. DIBBLE, Seedgrower 
Dibble’s Improved Early Learning' 
has been grown by us in western New York 
for the past six years. It is two weeks 
earlier than the old Learning and matures 
ready for the harvest in from 100 to 110 
days. Dibble’s Improved Beaming grows 
from 10 to 15 feet in height, splendidly 
eared. Time and again wo have raised 30 
tons of ensilage per acre, putting into our 
silos, corn that would have husked 125 
bushels of wel 1 ripened ears. Our Learning 
is thoroughbred stock, hand selected, full 
of vitality, testing 95£ and better. 
Bushel,$2.00; 2-bushel bag, $3.00; 10 bushels 
or over, $1.25 per bushel. Bags free. Sample 
if you like, test it anyway you wish and 
we will have your order. 
Dibble’s Mammoth White Dent Ensilage Corn 
is offered to those dairy farmers desiring 
to grow the largest possible amount of 
fodder per acre. It is of northern origin 
and our seed is northern grown, maturing 
easily in latitude 41 degrees and we re¬ 
commend it to farmers living in the Nor¬ 
thern and Middle States in want of a large 
rank growing ensilage corn, as far superior 
to the big corns of southern origin, such as 
OubanGiant, VirginiaSheepTooth, Eureka, 
etc. which are not adapted to our north¬ 
ern climate. 
Dibble’s Mammoth White Dent is well 
worthy of a trial. Samples if you want 
them. Germination above 95$ 
1 bushel, $2.00; 2-bushel bag, $3.50; 10 
bushels, $15.00. Bags free.
