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. Our new White Gold 
is the best Early Potato we have ever offered and we are confident will make money for you. The new Katahdin 
is the last word in Late Potatoes. 
Northern Grown Seed Potatoes are of proven sui>eriority. Repeated tests in many states have demonstrated 
the value of Northern Grown Seed. In hardiness, yield, freedom from disease, and quality they are unequalled. 
OUR SEED POTATOES are grown in Northern Michigan 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 several varieties. Owing to the rigid inspection and conditions gov¬ 
erning 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, 
Gold 
Earliest, Smoothest, Heaviest Yielding, and 
Best Quality Potato 
White Gold Potato was originated from a seedling 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 third 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: Vz pk., 4fic; pk., *100; ^ bu., ipl.SS; bu., ^.25,

HERE’S WHAT THE GROWERS SAY: 
planted my White Gold Potatoes about a week later than 
my other early kinds and they zvere 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. -

“From one bushel of White Gold Seed Potatoes I purchased 
from you I harvested 15 bushels of fine potatoes. These grew 
and matured in I2 zveeks. These were on muck and were planted 
in rows two feet apart .”—W. A. CYPHERS, Jackson, Mich. 
‘‘We planted bushel of your new White Gold Potatoes 
and zee got six bushels. Our other early potatoes yielded only 
half as much and zeere 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.

White Gold Potatoes and we had 
tzventy-six bushels. They are very
