Isbell’s New White Gold Potato. Note the Uniformity and the Attractive Appearance. 
ISBELL’S NORTHERN GROWN SEED POTATOES 
The prevailing’ low prices on Seed Potatoes provide a splendid opportunity to get new seed this year at small cost. 
If the usual reaction sets in prices of potatoes will be much better next season. This applies especially to early po¬ 
tatoes. Our new variety. White Gold, is the best Early Potato we have ever offered and we are confident will make 
money for you. 
Northern Grown Seed Potatoes are of proven superiority. Repeated tests in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and 
many southern states have amply demonstrated the value of Northern Grown Seed Potatoes. In hardiness, yield, 
freedom from disease, and quality they are unequalled. 
OUR SEED POTATOES are grown in the two best Potato producing sections of the United States: Northern Mich¬ 
igan and the Red River Valley (Minnesota and the Dakotas). These sections are noted, not only for big yields, but 
for the high quality of their product. Potato growers everywhere are finding out that it pays to plant disease-free, 
northern grown seed stock. 
Certified Seed. —We can supply Certified Seed of some varieties which is the last word in high quality Seed Potatoes. 
Owing to the rigid inspection and conditions governing the production of Certified Seed, it must of necessity be higher 
in price. Growers, generally, consider certified seed well worth the difference. 
Isbell's New Early Potato, White Gold 
Earliest, Smoothest, Heaviest Yielding, and 
Best Quality Potato 
The new White Gold Potato was originated from a seed¬ 
ling in Northern Minnesota where it was developed after 
six years of effort. It is a large, oval, white Potato with 
very shallow eyes and smooth skin. It is more than a week 
earlier than the standard early sorts like Cobbler and 
Early Ohio, but yields like a late Potato. Last season was 
not favorable for early Potatoes as the hot dry weather 
cut down the yield. In spite of this, White Gold yielded 
from 100 to 150 bushels per acre. Under favorable condi¬ 
tions White Gold has yielded 400 bushels per acre in 
Minnesota. 
Last year we offered seed of this wonderful new Potato 
for the second season and we were unable to supply the de¬ 
mand. Our stock was exhausted early and many of our 
customers were disappointed because they were unable to 
obtain seed. From the indications now there is going to 
be a tremendous demand again this year and our stock 
will certainly not last throughout the season. For this 
reason we strongly urge our customers to order this seed 
early. Prices: Vijph->60c; pk., $1.00; bu., $1.75; bu., $3.25.

Isbell’s White Gold Is a Money-Maker 
Because: 
1st. It’s the earliest White Potato so far introduced and 
brings fancy prices for early market. 
2nd. It is profitable as a main crop since it is a good 
yielder—desirable size and shape—shallow eyes—fine cooker 
—no waste and a good keeper for winter use. 
3rd. White Gold will be in big demand by planters for 
years to come. Only a limited amount of seed available 
this year, therefore growers will derive good prices for seed 
purposes. 
HERE’S WHAT THE GROWERS SAY: 
“I planted, my White Gold Potatoes about a week later than 
my other early kinds and they were ripe a week earlier. I 
planted one bushel of seed and dug twenty bushels. My Irish 
Cobblers made twenty-one bushels from one hundred pounds 
of seed. I am more than pleased with the White Gold and will 
plant most all of them next spring .”—C. A. MOORE, Monti- 
cello, Indiana. ' - 
“I had 2 bushels of your White Gold Potatoes last year 
and they yielded twice as much as some cobblers, next to them 
and were ripe two weeks earlier. They are a great potato .”— 
G. P. BROWN, Barre, Mass. 
“We planted J4 bushel of your nezv White Gold Potatoes 
and zee got six bushels. Our other early potatoes yielded only 
half as much and zoere 2 weeks later. We had very little rain 
last summer and we are sure that _ the 
White Gold would yield much more in a 
good season .”—SCHAFER BROTHERS, 
Dunkirk, Ohio. *=> 
“Your White Gold Potatoes are ten days 
earlier than the Irish Cobbler and I am 
sure pleased with them .”—B. PETTIFER, 
Constantine, Mich. 
“I planted one bushel of your 
White Gold Potatoes and we had 
twenty-six bushels. They are very 
nice and large, and cook fine. We 
are well pleased zvith them .”-—
