SEED POTATOES 
In selecting our stock of seed ijotatoes we endeavor to secure the best 
that money can buy. Some varieties are grown for us in the Ked Kiver 
Valley, while others are obtained in Wisconsin and Northern Minnesota. 
We exercise the greatest care in sending out stock that is true to 
type, sound and free from disease, but still we would advise treating 
with Formaldehyde, or Semesan-Bel before planting, as the soil you 
plant in may be previously infected. 
Directions for treating potatoes with Formaldehyde to prevent scab 
and several other eiiually destructive potato diseases: Soak the tubers 
(before cutting) one and one-half hours in a solution made at the rate 
of one pound of Formaldehyde to thirty gallons of watei', or for small 
quantities, 1 ounce to Uy 2 quarts of water. Then cut and plant as usual. 
Treating Potatoes with Semesan-Bel 
Special Semesan-Bel booklet, giving full information and instructions on 
the treatment of potatoes against disease, etc., will be sent on request. 
See Insecticide page for prices on Formaldehyde and Semesan. 
FERTILIZER. Most of our Minnesota Peat soil can be made to pro¬ 
duce abundant crops if the proper fertilizers are applied. F'or potatoes, 
an application of 600 pounds of 0-9-27 to the acre,, will give wonderful 
results; while on upland, we would recommend using 500 pounds to 
the acre of 3-15-12. 
Early Ohio Red River Valley Stock 
For early market it has no equal. It is a good keeper notwithstanding 
its earliness. This potato is in more demand than any other variety 
and can be depended on to give a uniformly good yield under almost 
all conditions and soils. Has a very smooth pinkish skin, shallow eyes 
and blunt ends. 
Early Triumph 
This is the earliest potato grown in many states. The size is from 
medium to small and almost round. The skin is red but the flesh is 
white and Arm. It is a good keeper and a favorite with many as it 
is about 7 to 10 days earlier than the Ohio. 
Green Mountain 
The best late white potato, similar to the Rural New Yorker, but is a 
more oblong rectangular tuber. It is better suited to rich heavy soils 
than’ Rural New Yorkers as the tubers are not likely to grow hollow. 
Yields heavily even on poor soil. A popular variety in North Central 
and Northeastern Minnesota. 
Early Ohio Potato 
Irish Cobbler 
Our stock of Irish Cobbler is grown in the Red River 
Valley where the potato scab is practically unknown, 
it is a very early round white potato somewhat flat¬ 
tened with rather deep eyes, medium to large in size. 
The Irish Cobbler is a very vigorous grower and is 
not as liable to be diseased as other varieties. It is a 
heavy yielder and a good keeper, and especially well 
adapted to peat soils in Minnesota.

Early Sugar or Pie Pumpkin 
White Gold 
An early potato very much like the Green Mountain for 
size and shape. It matures about ten days to two weeks 
earlier than Triumphs, Early Ohio or Irish Cobbler. See 
Red Figure List for prices. 
DATE OF SHIPMENT 
Potatoes will be shipped at any date ordered, but 
where no special instructions are given to the con¬ 
trary, we will hold same until in our judgment there 
will be no danger from freezing.

PUMPKINS 
CULTURE. Pumpkins may be planted with corn by 
planting the pumpkin seed in every 4th or 5th row of 
corn one way by every 3rd or 4th row across, dropping 
4 seeds in a hill. When raised alone, the hills should 
be 10 feet apart each way, dropping 6 or 7 seeds in a 
hill and cultivating both ways. Cultivate with a section 
of the harrow. One ounce of seed will make 15 hills, 
and about 2 pounds are needed for an acre.
