DIBBLE’S 
Russet Potatoes 
Y EARS ago, when we introduced this variety, we had only 1000 barrels to 
sell. The third year we sold over 11,000 barrels. Never before did a new 
variety make a name for itself so quickly. 
Dibble’s Russet is the best main-crop Potato for western New York, and is 
grown extensively in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine, and other Potato- 
producing states. It outyields other sorts two to one, and crops of 300 to 400 
bushels an acre are not uncommon. Customers write us that the “Russet gives 
splendid yields when other kinds fail.” During the long drought of 1934 the 
Potato crop in many sections was almost a complete failure, yet under those 
hard conditions Dibble’s Russet produced satisfactory crops—in fact, right 
here in western New York, where there was no rain for weeks, a yield of about 
400 bushels an acre was reported. 
Dibble’s Russet Potatoes are 
round to oblong, of good size, with 
pure white flesh, russet skin, and 
few, shallow eyes. The quality is 
superb, and either baked or boiled 
is not excelled by any other variety. 
Dibble’s Russet is enormously pro¬ 
ductive and has all the qualities 
that make for a profitable market 
Potato. The tubers are as large, or 
larger, than Rurals, Carman, or 
Raleigh, and where those sorts set 
only four or five tubers to a hill, the 
Russet produces eight, ten, or even 
twelve big tubers. The vines are 
strong and disease-resistant. 
D IBBLE’S Russet Potato is the original round 
to oblong type of the Russet family. From 
its first introduction by us it has been bred abso¬ 
lutely true to type, and our stock seed is saved 
from fields entirely free from early or late blight, 
and where the vines were green and healthy until 
killed by frost. Our customers say that Dibble’s 
Russet carries these inbred qualities to every 
locality where they are planted, and ninety-nine 
out of every hundred growers say Dibble’s Russet 
is the best Potato grown.
