the "BEST FOUR 
Early Varieties of Potatoes 
adapted to the Northern and Eastern States 
Asa result of competitive tests fora period of years on our own farms and on the farms of our growers, we 
have found that today there are just four varieties of early Potatoes that are worth growing in our territory. 
Dibble’s Spaulding Rose 
A seedling of the old Early Rose, producing a 
much better yield of larger tubers. Skin is pink, 
with white flesh of good eating quality. A most 
desirable medium-early Potato for sandy loam soils. 
Dibble’s Early Ohio 
For first early or extra early, either for the family 
garden or for market, there is nothing to compare 
with the Early Ohio. The Early Ohio is round to 
oblong in shape, pink skin, white flesh of most 
excellent quality and extra early. The pedigree 
stock Early Ohios we are offering this season were 
grown for us from North Dakota Certified Seed and 
are of splendid quality. 
Dibble's Early Manistee 
The Manistee is a seedling of the Early Rose, 
round to oblong in shape, slightly flattened, skin 
light pink, eyes near the surface, flesh pure white 
and table quality that is hard to beat. The Manistee 
gives best results on light, sandy soil. 
The Manistee Potatoes yielded at the rate of 500 
bushels per acre.-—A. P. Noble, Gillett, Pa. 
Dibble’s Irish Cobbler 
The Irish Cobbler is the best extra-early white 
Potato now grown. The tubers are uniformly 
smooth, round, plump, and handsome, creamy 
white, eyes strong and well developed. The flesh is 
white and of excellent quality. 
The Cobbler is a week to ten days later than the 
Early Ohio, but usually much more productive, and 
the tubers are of good eating quality while the vines 
are still green. We recommend the Irish Cobbler 
as the “best” early Potato for all-round culture, 
either for the family garden or to grow on a large 
scale commercially. It is a good variety to tie to, as 
it, too, like Dibble’s Russet, will give excellent 
results on any kind of soil. The fields from which 
we saved the stock seed which we offer our cus¬ 
tomers averaged from 325 to 625 bushels per 
measured acre. Our Cobblers this year are as choice 
a sample as we have ever owned and all grown from 
Prince Edward Island Certified Seed. 
The Irish Cobblers yielded about 300 bushels per acre 
and much better than other varieties grown on the same 
farm.— Emile Kegler, Cochecton, N. Y.
