"WHITE GOLD" THE EA grown OTATO 
(See Front Cover.) 
White Golds have brought many smiles 
and profits. 
Ten days to two weeks earlier to market frequently means the difference 
between a decent profit and a possible loss. White Gold Potato growers 
in hundreds of letters tell of their wonderful success and fine profits. The 
chief reason was because White Gold Potatoes were ready two weeks 
earlier than Cobblers, Triumphs or Early Ohios. 
Although heat and drought took its toll in many sections, large 
yields of fine smooth Potatoes that always found a ready market 
were reported in most cases. 
White Gold Potatoes were developed from a Potato seedling, 
by George Kremer of Itasca County, Minnesota. For six years 
the seedlings were carefully selected and increased before the 
new Potato was introduced. It has the size and shape of the 
Green Mountain, though the eyes are shallow and it is of slightly 
netted appearance. The yields compare favorably with the late 
varieties such as Carmans and Rural New Yorkers. The out¬ 
standing features, however, are its earliness, good size and big 
yields. White Golds will keep in storage better than many late 
varieties.

I have had zuonderful luck 
with your seeds this past 
season. The White Gold Po¬ 
tatoes yielded 450 bushels 
per acre with no rain all 
summer. The Silo Corn is all 
the rage here. I like good 
seed and to deal with a re¬ 
liable company like yours.

1 have been looking for po¬ 
tatoes like I wanted, for 31 
years, but could not Und 
them until now. About 31 or 
32 years ago I raised pota¬ 
toes which tasted like White 
Gold, but I lost the seed. I 
never tasted potatoes like 
those again until we got 
your White Gold Potatoes. 
I _ hope to raise some price 
winners. Henry A. Cassler. 
MINNESOTA GROWN SEED POTATOES 
EXTRA EARLY BLISS TRIUMPH 
Bliss Triumph is at least a week or ten days earlier than the Early 
Ohio. The tubers are of handsome appearance, being almost round, with 
slightly depressed eyes, mostly at the seed end. They run very uniform 
as to size and shape. The skin is light to solid red. Flesh is pure 
white, both when raw and cooked. Its superior table- qualities make 
this potato a favorite for the early market. See Blue Figure Price List. 
EARLY IRISH COBBLER (< certified ) 
Another extra fine early potato, and one that is not easily affected 
by blight and insects. The tubers are nearly round, with prominent 
ridges at ends, causing uneven surface, and slightly flattened, rather 
blocky shape. The skin is white, well netted, with eyes of medium depth 
and number. It is a fine flavored potato and a heavy yielder. See Blue 
Figure Price List. 
THE NEW WARBA (< certified ) 
Seed Very Limited. 
After a 5-year test, 
the Minnesota Agricul¬ 
tural Experiment Station 
introduces a valuable 
new early p o t a t o—a 
cross of a selected seed¬ 
ling and Bliss Triumph. 
It resembles Bliss Tri¬ 
umph, though is larger 
in size—a bigger yielder, 
has white crisp flesh and 
is exceptionally quick 
maturing. Its season is 
7 to 10 days earlier than 
Bliss Triumph or Early 
Ohio. The vines are up¬ 
right, sturdy and re¬ 
sistant to mild Mosaic. 
Tubers are short, round, 
blocky, white with pink 
eyes and uniform in size, 
with few culls. Only a 
limited amount of certi¬ 
fied seed is available this 
year. -? : »• , . r . 
Price: 10 lbs. $1.00, prepaid to 3rd zone. See Blue Figure Price List 
for quotations on larger quantities. 
EARLY OHIO ( certified ) 
This old favorite is a heavy yielder, producing 150 to 250 bus. per 
acre, tubers being of even size, medium to large, oval in shape, very 
smooth, with shallow eyes. Early Ohios always bring a high market 
price, and though very early, they keep well. The flesh is white, firm, 
fine grained, and of excellent flavor. The cooking and baking qualities 
are unsurpassed. See Blue Figure Price List. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN 
One of the best main crop Potatoes—a late white variety producing 
remarkable yields and especially adapted for the Northwest. 
Owing to their large size, there are very few unmarketable Potatoes 
to be found in a field. It is remarkably free from attack by potato bugs. 
Green Mountain is a vigorous grower, a good keeper and outstanding 
as a baking Potato and sells readily in all markets. 
No freight shipments until April 15th. Earlier shipments are sent express. 
KREMER NEW RUSSET SEEDLING 
We offer for the first time a new Russet Seedling—late potato, greatly 
resembling the famous Idaho Russet so popular as a baking and cooking 
potato. The tubers are elongated—good size—almost perfectly smooth, 
with shallow eyes. Slightly russet skin which indicates excellent winter 
keeping qualities. Its uniform size and big yields and fine appearance 
make it one of the best market potatoes. For baking and cooking 
qualities, it cannot be excelled. 
Price: 10 lbs. 75c, prepaid to 3rd zone. See Blue Figure Price List for 
quantity quotations. 
RUSSET RURALS 
Similar in shape to Rural New Yorker, with perfectly smooth russet 
skin. Always cooks up mealy—an excellent keeper—has shallow eyes 
and is fine for home use or market. See Blue Figure Price List for 
quotations. 
RURAL NEW YORKER 
This is the best known and the standard late market potato. The 
tubers are of large size, nearly round to oval, considerably flattened, 
with stem and seed ends roundish. The skin is smooth and white, with 
broad shallow eyes at the seed end. The foliage is deep green, vig- 
_^orou&_.and .heavy,_ therefore unusually scab and insect resistant. See 
Blue Figure Price List, 
THE NEW U. S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE 
LONG KEEPING POTATO 
CERTIFIED SEED 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and promising 
to become the outstanding Late Potato for market or storage. It 
was originated in Maine, by double crossing unnamed seedlings of 
Rural New Yorker No. 2 and Aroostook Wonder parentage. It was 
bred for disease resistance, quality and yield. During the eight 
years it was under observation, it lias been entirely free from milcl 
Mosaic. In yields it has constantly surpassed Rural New Yorker 
or Green Mountain. The tubers are short, elliptical to roundish, 
and have very shallow eyes. 
Emphasis is laid on the high yield and small percentage of culls. 
It is well adapted for growing on muck and peat soils, though not 
so well to poor soils or where summer drought is likely to occur. 
The vines are vigorous and light green in color. They mature late, 
though the tubers set fairly early, which is an advantage in a late 
seasqn. 
The secretary of the Iowa Vegetable Growers Assn, remarked that 
this new Potato may replace the Rurals as it is smoother and peels 
with less tare. In shape, it is nearly a ball. 
Uncle Sam spent about $250,000.00 in developing it and Exten¬ 
sion Horticulturalist Fitch, of the Iowa station, enthusiastically sug¬ 
gests it should pay the nation 1,000 times that in larger yields to 
farmers, less expense to dealers and handlers. 
Growers everywhere are anxious to try the new Katahdin, though 
the seed supply is extremely limited. To enable as many as possible 
of our customers to try this new Potato, we offer it in small quan¬ 
tities at a reasonable price. Larger orders are booked subject to 
stocks being unsold. 
Price: 10 lbs. 75c, prepaid to 3rd zone. See Blue Figure Price 
List for quotations on larger quantities.
