POTATOES 
We have never grown such fine quality seed potatoes as we have this year. It was very dry in our locality dur¬ 
ing the early part of the summer and we delayed planting until after July 1st. The result was that the tubers are 
medium size, very uniform and smooth. 
The seed is not State Certified but all the seed fields were carefully rogued for disease. A year of low potato 
prices is usually followed by a year of high prices. We expect to plant as large an acreage this year as last. This is 
the year to change your seed. At the following prices, we feel you cannot afford to plant inferior seed. 
Rliee TViiim-nVi • Medium early, round, red-skinned po-

from certified seed. 1 to 5 bu. $1.00 per bu.; 5 bu. or more $.90 per

A number of years ago we origi¬ 
nated this variety from seed taken 
Robson Seedling 
from a potato blossom seedball. We grew it on our own farms and 
in the test plot at the New York State College of Agriculture. It 
proved to be a heavy yielder, and a vigorous grower. On account 
of its desirability and the very enthusiastic reports from our cus¬ 
tomers we feel that we can strongly recommend this strain above all 
others that we have tested for home garden or field production. 
The Robson Seedling is of the Rural type, medium late, excellent 
shape for baking and will hold firm much later in the spring than 
most other varieties. 1 to 5 bu. $.85 per bu; 5 bu. or more $.75 per 
bu. Not prepaid.
