OLDS’ SEED POTATOES 
(Plant 8 to 12 bus. to the acre.) 
CERTIFIED STOCK. Most of our potatoes are “State Certified.’’ This means that they were inspected while grow¬ 
ing in the field by an official state inspector and again in the bin after being dug and both times passed the necessary 
requirements. The stock must be free from mixture, free from late blight rot, black leg and powdery scab and conform 
reasonably to the correct vine and tuber characteristics of the variety. Official branded sacks and official tags are 
used for this Certified stock. 
U. S. GOVERNMENT GRADE NO. 1. We offer at lower prices, stock of most varieties that is uncertified, but 
that conforms to the requirements of U. S. Grade No. 1. That is, stock that is practically free from scab, blight, dry 
rot and damage caused by disease and graded to a minimum size of 1 % inches. The stock is all northern grown, 
coming from the same sections as the certified stock and practically pure. It is very desirable seed stock. 
SACKS FREE. We ship our Seed Potatoes in 100-pound sacks and these sacks are the unit now. 
POTATO PRICES FOR 1935. The prices named in this catalog are good until Feb. 15th only. 
White Gold Potatoes. 
NEW POTATO, WHITE GOLD. THE EARLIEST WHITE POTATO GROWN, 10 days earlier than Early Ohio 
or Irish Cobbler. White Gold potatoes were developed from potato seedlings by George Kremer of Itasca County, 
Minnesota. It took six years of selection before this potato was introduced or given a name. It has the size and 
shape of Green Mountain, though the eyes are shallow and it is of slightly netted appearance. In yield, it compares 
favorably with late varieties such as Rural New Yorker. The outstanding feature, however, is its earliness, for here 
is a white potato of good size and appearance, a good yielder and ten days earlier than other early varieties so far in¬ 
troduced. Be sure and plant some White Golds for your early potatoes this year. Stock is limited, so order early. 
Prices, White Gold, Minnesota Grown, U. S. Grade No. 1, Uncertified: y 2 pk., 40c; pk., 65c; bu., $1.75; 100 lbs., 
$2.80; 10 bus. ( in 100-lb. sacks) at $2.75 per 100 lbs.; 25 bus at $2.70 per 100 lbs. Sacks free. 
TREAT YOUR SEED WITH NEW IMPROVED SEMESAN BEL 
Easy Dip Treatment Costs Only 2c per Bushel 
Fifty per cent of all seed potatoes planted in the 
United States carry disease in some form. This means 
decreased yields. Much of this loss can be prevented by 
treating seed before planting with New Improved Semesan 
Eel. 
Scab pits potatoes and 
makes them unsalable. 
Seed potato treatment will bring you 
mere profit. New Improved Semesan 
Bel —the quick dip treatment—has cut 
treating costs to l^c to 3c per bushel 
of seed and gives equal or better control 
of seed-borne Rhizoctonia and scab than 
the old soak treatments. It protects 
seed pieces against rotting, insuring 
maximum stands; gives more consistent 
increases in yield and consequently larg¬ 
er profits. It is easily and quickly ap¬ 
plied. Just mix with water, dip your 
seed potatoes, drain, and plant. One 
pound of New Improved Semesan Bel 
treats 60-80 bushels. 
Prices of Improved Semesan Bel: 4-oz. 
size, 50c; by mail, 60c; 1-lb. size, $1.75; 
by mail, $1.85; 5-lb. size, $8.00; by mail, 
$8.25; 25-lb. size, $31.25.
