Seed Potatoes (Non-Irrigated) 
Our seed potatoes are raised under our personal 
supervision on the non-irrigated lands of the 
Palouse and Camas Prairie. Selected seed is used 
and the fields thoroughly rogued and only the 
strong healthy plants left to mature. 
Idaho Early Irish Cobbler A s P lendid 
extra early 
variety, and the best for early market. The tubers 
are handsome, almost round, larger than most 
other early potatoes, and uniform in size and 
shape. Prolific yielders. The skin is creamy white. 
On account of the damaging frost we had in 
October, there will very likely be a shortage of 
some varieties and we cannot tell at time of 
getting this catalog printed just what varieties 
we will have. However, we will try to carry the 
kinds listed below. Please write for prices and 
tell us the variety and quantity you are interested 
in, and we will quote promptly. 
IMP. SEMESAN BEL. For Seed Potatoes. Potato

infectant. One lb. treats 16 to 2 2 bushels of seed.
