Irish Cobblers 
. Also an early variety although not quite as 
early as the Red River. The heaviest producer 
in its class and a quality that is exceedingly 
fine. It was originally classified among the 
late varieties but extensive growing in the 
north and some selection for seed as to 
earliness has classified it as a medium early 
variety. 
The skin and flesh are white. It cooks 
dry and is one of the best flavored varieties. 
Generally round in shape and somewhat ob¬ 
long. Our Irish Cobbler is a great favorite 
with market gardeners as they find a ready 
sale for them, their customers calling for 
more. At the same time it is one of the 
most productive varieties. This Cobbler has 
been sold imder other names at fancy prices 
and always made satisfied customers. Our 
selected northern grown seed is worth 
more to you than we are pricing 
them at.
