Certified 
New York “Russets” 
Many leading potato growers have proven this seed equal in quality, 
freedom from disease, and yielding ability to that from other 
sources—surpassing its competitors in some cases. 
In recent years this seed has ranked first in County Agent tests 
in Lehigh, Indiana and Schuylkill Counties (Penna.). One user 
produced an average of 460 bu. per acre. Some forty checks in 
eleven Counties revealed very fine yields. 
The parent seed that supplied this seed was produced by tuber- 
unit, hill selected methods. This insures greater vigor and yielding 
ability, and better uniformity of type. 
“White Rural” (Certified) 
“Rural New Yorker” 
Here is an old favorite. Bred and developed by the same methods 
as our Rural Russets. Certified in the same way. Truly worthy 
seed for those who prefer a heavy-yielding white potato instead 
of the Russet. . . . And its quality is fine! 
CERTIFIED MAINE-GROWN 
VARIETIES: 
“Irish Cobbler” 
Here is the biggest-selling early potato. And truly a money-maker. 
More than half of our orders call for Irish Cobblers. It is the 
earliest standard-crop white potato. You doubtless know all about 
its merits. It is round to oblong in shape. Shallow eyes and 
indent at the stem end. A delicious, mealy potato. Stores well. 
Eyes remain dormant as long as the later varieties under same 
conditions. A favorite for commercial planting. 
Early-harvest potatoes often reap the benefit of better prices. 
Because of this and its exceptional ability to yield big crops, the 
Irish Cobbler is a bigger favorite today than ever. This seed is of 
exceptional quality—bound to please you! 
“Early Surprise” 
Another early variety. Claimed to be slightly earlier than the 
Cobbler. Stores well—cooks very well. Smooth and mealy. De¬ 
licious flavor. A very marketable potato. Heavy yielder, too. 
“Green Mountain” 
Here is one of the best-liked standard sorts grown. Of very best 
eating qualities—round to oblong—white flesh—healthy grower 
—heavy foliage—good keeping potato. Of all the latter types of 
Maine-grown seed, there is no variety that has more friends and 
more successful users. Here is fine seed of it this year. 
“Sir Walter Raleigh”-“Car man No. 3” 
These are two favorable sorts—very similar in manner of growth. 
Both blossom purple—grow round to oblong in shape—both have 
the qualities wanted on the table, fine texture, mealy and tasty. 
They ripen in mid-season. Both are good yielders. 
“Early Rose” 
Everyone knows Early Rose. Pink skinned, oblong, medium size. 
Quite early in its maturity. Fine for garden use. Supply is limited.
