1935 SPRING AND FALL THE HOUSE OF GURNEY, INC. -<J>- YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA 
Plant from 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. Can be 
cut twice a year and under good conditions will 
yield 4 tons of dry hay per acre. 
Sudan Grass was introduced into the United 
States in 1909 from Sudan under the name of 
Garawi. The Department of Agriculture reports 
Sudan Grass of the greatest value in the Central 
States, and especially in the parts of Texas, 
Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado and Da¬ 
kota that are! deficient in rainfall. These dry 
regions have no other satisfactory hay crop and 
SUDAN GRASS 
Sudan Grass is of immense value there. 
Sudan Grass is tall, reaching a height of from 
7 to 9 feet. The stems are very small and are 
rarely thicker than a lead pencil. The plant 
stools wonderfully and produces, under favorable 
conditions, as many as 100 stalks from a single 
root. 
Sudan Grass is strictly an annual and dies 
each year. In my estimation its greatest value 
is green pasture for the cows. At about this 
time of the year pastures are dry or only pro¬ 
ducing about one-half feed for the stock pastur¬ 
ing on it. This pasture supplemented by a fair 
acreage of Sudan will keep up the quality and 
quantity of the milk flow. Try it.

GURNEY’S NORTHERN GROWN SEED POTATOES 
Plant from 7 to 15 bu. per acre 
W E HAVE stored our usual supply of strictly first-class Northern 
grown seed potatoes of the various varieties listed but the price at 
which we are offering them may be changed without notice Either 
higher or lower as the market warrants. 
The person who plants an acreage of potatoes each year has learned 
from experience that a change of potato seed from the north to the south 
pays better than any other seed. Consequently we grow our seed stock in 
the extreme north, and the big potato grower farther south sells off all hi« 
own crop, securing new northern stock each season, in this way often 
increasing his yield 50 per cent.

Bugless Potatoes 
Has for one more year absolutely proven that 
it is more immune from bugs than any other 
potato grown, that it is seldom damaged by bugs, 
and that happens only in bad seasons or on 
extremely poor ground, or in very small patches. 
We had grown for us this past season fields of 
Bugless potatoes that produced considerably 
over three hundred bushels per acre. 
Why should we grow other varieties of late 
potatoes subject to damage by bugs, lower yields 
and of inferior quality? 
We grew on a piece of our land adjoining the 
city of Yankton a ten-acre field of Bugless. 
Adjoining this field on the west end was a frac¬ 
tion of an acre of Early Ohios, planted by the 
adjoining landowner. There was six feet between 
the last row of Bugless and the first row of Early 
Ohios. During the growing season the owner of 
the Early Ohios and his entire family picked 
bugs. I personally examined our own field day 
after day, and I did not find one single leaf 
damaged in the Bugless field by bugs, and the 
yield at the end of the season was satisfactory. 
Get in the Bugless game. Plant potatoes that 
will fill your cellars and your pocketbook. 
5 lbs., 40c; 15 lbs., 70c; 30 lbs., $1.00; 60 lbs., 
$1.70; 300 lbs., $8.25; 600 lbs., $15.95. 
Green Mountain 
This remarkably heavy yielding white potato 
has forced its way to the front in the northern 
sections, as one of the main crop varieties of 
late potatoes. It has produced some very re¬ 
markable yields. I believe the Green Mountain 
averages larger in size than any of its class. 
There are very few small unmarketable potatoes 
in a field of ^them. This potato is of excellent 
quality and Is especially good for baking pur¬ 
poses. It is a good keeper, and commands 
readily the highest market price. 5 lbs., 40c; 
15 lbs., 70c; 30 lbs., 95c; 60 lbs., $1.60; 300 
lbs., $7.75; 600 lbs., $14.90. 
Early Six Weeks Potatoes 
Fine potato for the early market. It is extra 
early, and we consider it one of the best extra 
early market varieties grown. The potatoes 
begin to form when the vines are only 5 to 6 
inches high, and in 7 to 8 weeks from planting 
are of fine marketable size. The tubers are of a 
handsome, oval form, red color with shallow 
eyes. Extremely early. Splendid keepers and 
of the finest cooking quality. 5 lbs., 40c; 15 lbs., 
70c; 30 lbs., $1.00; 60 lbs., $1.65; 300 lbs., $8.00; 
600 lbs., $15.50. 
Bliss Triumph Potatoes 
This is positively the earliest potato grown. 
It is the variety you find on the market first in 
the spring from the south. 'A nearly round red 
potato. On account of its earliness it brings the 
highest price of any potato offered, and as the 
seed for this variety for the entire south is 
grown each season in the north, the demand is 
always heavy for it for seed purposes and con¬ 
sequently higher priced than most other vari¬ 
eties. It yields enormously. We have had re¬ 
ports of 650 bushels per acre. The stock we are 
offering is of specially fine quality strictly Red 
River grown, everyone should plant a quantity 
of these for first early. 5 lbs., 40c; 15 lbs., 70c; 
30 lbs., $1.00; 60 lbs., $1.65; 300 lbs., $8.00; 
600 lbs., $15.50. 
Early Ohio is the most popular early Potato 
in this country. It is the Standard Extra Early 
the country over and other varieties are measured 
by it. Our stock of this variety is grown under 
conditions that make them cost more than coni- 
mon stock. They are selected, with the utmost 
care, and the result is grand, such as to delight 
every one who knows and appreciates a good po¬ 
tato. 5 lbs., 40c; 15 lbs., 70c; 30 lbs., 95c; 60 
lbs., $1.60; 300 lbs., $7.75; 600 lbs., $14.90. 
Irish Cobbler 
I am quoting from Bulletin No. 176 of the 
South Dakota State College of Agriculture, on 
Page 700 in a table of a three-year test, in¬ 
dicating that the Irish Cobbler is the highest 
yielding early potato at Brookings. It is grown 
in every part of the State and is desirable for 
early and fall markets. 
It is second early, nearly round, pure white, 
a good keeper, and of very excellent quality, 
always cooking dry and mealy. On account of 
the short, stocky growth of the vine, this po¬ 
tato can be planted closer together than most 
varieties, ordinarily about one foot apart in the 
row. 5 lbs., 40c; 15 lbs., 70c; 30 lbs., 95c; 60 
lbs., $1.60; 300 lbs., $7.75; 600 lbs., $14.90. 
SWEET POTATOES 
Early Jersey 
Isaac Blakey, a Yankton market gardener 
raised over 300 bu. of Early Jersey Sweet 
Potatoes on 1 acre of land from Gurney’s 
seed. 
This variety is the most satisfactory for 
northern planting. We can furnish you for 
shipment about April 1st the seed Sweet 
Potatoes. If you care to grow your own plants, 
it is necessary to plant the potatoes, grow the 
sprouts and transplant just as you would 
tomatoes. The potatoes should be planted by 
the 10th of April, the sprouts transplanted from 
the 15th of May to as late as July 1st. The 
potatoes must be planted immediately on their 
arrival as they decay rapidly at that time of the 
year. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 80c; 10 lbs., $1.50; 
40 lbs., $4.25; 80 lbs., $8.00.

Yankton, S. Dak. 
Have used your tomato seed for two years 
past. Have had the strongest plants and 
largest yield of tomatoes I have ever had, 
and your Earlibell is without doubt the 
earliest in this section and fine fruit too.
