SEED POTATOES 
You spend a lot of time on this Potato crop. And a lot of money 
on machinery, fertilizers, spray materials, etc. Make sure that all 
your care and expense and preparation counts for the most! Be 
sure to plant true northern grown, disease free seed! Such seed is 
here offered you. ... It will please you and pay you well! 
“IRISH COBBLER” (Certified) 
This is Maine-grown seed—the best selling variety. 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. Be¬ 
cause of this and its exceptional ability to yield big crops, the Irish 
Cobbler is a bigger favorite today than ever. This seed is of excep¬ 
tional quality—bound to please you! 
“624 Bushels Potatoes per acre.”

Seed offered you on page 26.

“The Crow Repellent is all right. 
Would not do without it. After I had 
spent one-half day putting up twine 
and other things and getting up at 
4 o’clock and going out with a gun, 
can now lie in bed and not worry.” 
C. Warner, 
New Hartford, Conn. 
“EARLY SURPRISE” (Certified) 
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” (Certified) 
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 later 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” 
—“CARMAN 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”—“EARLY OHIO” 
Everyone knows these varieties. Rather oblong, medium size. 
Quite early in maturity. Fine for garden use. Supply is limited.
