WHITE GOLD 
" THE EXTRA EARLY 
WHITE POTATO 
Ten days to two weeks earlier to market frequently means 
the difference between a decent profit and a possible loss. White 
Gold Potato growers in hundreds of letters tell of their wonder¬ 
ful success and fine profits. The chief reason was because White 
Gold Potatoes were ready two weeks earlier than Cobblers, 
Triumphs or Early Ohios. 
White Gold Potatoes were developed from a Potato seedling, 
bv George Kremer of Itasca County, Minnesota. For six years 
the seedlings were carefully selected and increased before the 
new Potato was introduced. It has the size and shape of the 
Green Mountain, though the eyes are shallow and it is of slightly 
netted appearance. The yields compare favorably with the late 
varieties such as Carmans and Rural New Yorkers. The out¬ 
standing features, however, are its earliness, good size and big 
yields. White Golds will keep in storage better than many late 
varieties. 
White Golds Have Brought Big Profits 
on the Early Market.

I have had wonderful luck 
ivith your seeds this past 
season. The White Gold Po¬ 
tatoes yielded 450 bushels 
per acre with no rain all 
summer. The Silo Corn is all 
the rage here. I like good 
seed and to deal with a re¬ 
liable company like yours.

I have been looking for po¬ 
tatoes like I wanted, for 31 
years, but could not find 
them until now. About 31 or 
32 years ago I raised pota¬ 
toes which tasted like White 
Gold, but I lost the seed. I 
never tasted potatoes like 
those again until we got 
your White Gold Potatoes. 
I hope to raise some prize 
winners. Henry A. Cassler. 
MINNESOTA GROWN SEED POTATOES 
EARLY IRISH COBBLER 
Another extra fine early potato, and one that is not easily affected 
by blight and insects. The tubers are nearly round, with prominent 
ridges at ends, causing uneven surface, and slightly flattened, rather 
blocky shape. The skin is white, well netted, with eyes of medium depth 
and number. It is a fine flavored potato and a heavy yielder. See Blue 
Figure Price List. 
THE NEW WARBA (Certified) 
NOW REPLACING THE 
TRIUMPH. 
After a 5-year test, 
the Minnesota Agricul¬ 
tural Experiment Station 
introduced a valuable 
new early p o t a t o—a 
cross of a selected seed¬ 
ling and Bliss Triumph. 
It resembles Bliss Tri¬ 
umph, though is larger 
in size—a bigger yielder, 
has white crisp flesh and 
is exceptionally quick 
maturing. Its season is 
7 to 10 days earlier than 
Bliss Triumph or Early 
Ohio. The vines are up¬ 
right, sturdy and re¬ 
sistant to mild Mosaic. 
Tubers are short, round, 
blocky, white with pink 
eyes and uniform in size, 
with few culls. 
The New Warba. 
Price: 10 lbs. 75c, prepaid to 3rd zone. See Blue Figure Price List 
for quotations on larger quantities. 
EARLY OHIO 
This old favorite is a heavy yielder, producing 150 to 250 bus. per 
acre, tubers being of even size, medium to large, oval in shape, very 
smooth, with shallow eyes. Early Ohios always bring a high market 
price, and though very early, they keep well. The flesh is white, firm, 
fine grained, and of excellent flavor. The cooking and baking qualities 
are unsurpassed. See Blue Figure Price List. 
NEW GOLDEN The Record Yielder 
A big yielding, golden fleshed potato —see back cover. Here is the 
biggest yielder of all new introductions, a golden fleshed variety—also 
introduced by the Department of Agriculture, from South American stock. 
This potato contains vitamin A and is of very highest cooking 
quality. Tubers are dark cream buff color—smooth with medium shallow 
eyes. ’ Medium size, roundish—flesh pale yellow. In yield tests the 
New Golden topped them all, producing as high as 535 bushels per acre. 
We offer it for the first time, but a very limited amount of seed is 
available. Price: 6 lbs. $1.00, prepaid to 3rd zone. 
BIG PROFITS IN NEW VARIETIES 
Quality potatoes always bring a good price. The old standard 
varieties must give way to better quality disease-free tubers. It pays 
to keep pace with progress. Only the best introductions by State 
Experiment Stations and the Department of Agriculture are featured 
by us, after careful trials. Our advice is to change your seed fre¬ 
quently. 
U. S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE'S 
NEW CHIPPEWA (Certified) 
(See back cover) 
Chippewa is the most recent introduction by the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, and resembles Katahdin in many re¬ 
spects, though differs somewhat in shape, the tubers being 
slightly longer in relation to their width. It is considerably 
earlier than the Katahdin and somewhat earlier than Green 
Mountain. For this reason it is especially well adapted 
for the Northwest. In all tests the yields have been higher 
than other late varieties like Rural New Yorker, Carman, 
Katahdin or Green Mountain. 
Since this potato matures ahead of most all other late 
varieties, it promises to become the most popular storage 
potato and will replace many of the old-timers. The tubers 
are smooth, regular in outline, with very shallow eyes. It 
is an excellent cooker and shows a high degree of resistance 
to mild Mosaic. 
We predict a great future for this potato and advise our 
friends to get a start this season. The seed supply is still 
limited and we suggest ordering early. 
Price: 10 lbs. $1.00, prepaid to 3rd zone. See Blue Figure Price List 
for quotations on larger quantities. 
NEW KATAHDIN The Long-Keeping Potato 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and „ promising 
to become the outstanding Late Potato for market or storage. It 
was originated in Maine, by double crossing unnamed seedlings of 
Rural New Yorker No. 2 and Aroostook Wonder parentage. It was 
bred for disease resistance, quality and yield. During the eight years 
it was under observation, it has been entirely free from mild Mosaic. 
In yields it has constantly surpassed Rural New Yorker or Green 
Mountain. The tubes are short, ellifitical to roundish and have very 
shallow eyes. 
Emphasis is laid on the high yield and small percentage of culls. 
It is well adapted for growing on muck and peat soils though not 
so well to poor soils or where summer drought is likely to occur. 
The vines are vigorous and light green in color. They mature late, 
though the tubers set fairly early, which is an advantage. 
The secretary of the Iowa Vegetable Growers Assn, remarked that 
this new potato may replace the Rurals as it is smoother and peels 
with less tare. In shape, it is nearly a ball. 
Uncle Sam spent about $250,000.00 in developing it and Exten¬ 
sion Horticulturist Fitch, of the Iowa station, enthusiastically suggests 
it should pay the nation many times that in larger yields to farmers. 
Price: 10 lbs. 75c, prepaid to 3rd zone. See Blue Figure Price List 
for quotations on larger quantities. 
Use Semesan Bel for Treating Potatoes. Potato diseases cause a loss 
equivalent to the yield of 1 acre in every 5 or 6 acres planted. Much 
of this loss can be prevented by treating seed before planting with 
Semesan Bel, the instantaneous dip disinfectant. Effective in controlling 
such seed-borne diseases as scab, rhizoctonia and black leg. Improves 
germination and usually produces a bigger crop of better quality. One 
pound treats 70 to 80 bushels of seed. Prices: 4 ozs. 50c, 1 lb. $1.65, 
5 lbs. $7.00, 25 lbs. $31.25, not prepaid. Pamphlet free.
