OLDS’ SEED POTATOES 
(Plant 8 to 12 bus. to the acre.) 
IMPROVED RED RIVER 
EARLY OHIO 
The well known dependable all-around early variety. 
Olds’ Seed Potatoes have had a national reputation for 
years. We began with nothing but Seed Potatqes 49 years 
ago. Have made a specialty of them ever since. We al¬ 
ways have choice stock and this year is no exception. In 
fact our stock is unusually fine this year. There is money 
in potatoes if you plant the right kind of seed. Use seed 
that was grown for seed. Our seed potatoes are mostly 
grown on contract specially for seed and from select stocks. 
This will be the year to plant because the other fellow will 
not plant owing to the price of potatoes. It is also the 
year to change your seed and get something better because 
you can do it at small expense. 
CERTIFIED STOCK. Most of our potatoes are “State 
Certified.” This means that they were inspected while 
growing in the field by an official state inspector and 
again in the bin after being dug and both times passed 
the necessary requirements. The stock must be free from 
mixture, free from late blight rot, black leg and powdery 
scab and conform reasonably to the correct vine and 
tuber characteristics of the variety. Official branded sacks 
and official tags are used for this Certified Stock. 
U. S. GOVERNMENT GRADE NO. 1. We offer at lower 
prices, stock of most varieties that is uncertified, but that 
conforms to the requirements of U. S. Grade No. 1. That 
is, stock that is practically free from scab, blight, dry 
rot and damage caused by disease and graded to a mini¬ 
mum size of 1 % inches. The stock is all northern grown, 
coming from the same sections as the certified stock and 
practically pure. It is very desirable seed stock. 
SACKS FREE. We ship our Seed Potatoes in 100-pound 
sacks and these sacks are the unit now. 
POTATO PRICES FOR 1936. The prices named in this 
catalog are good until Feb. 15th only. 
RED RIVER 
IRISH COBBLER 
Early Ohio has long been the most popular early potato 
in the country. Its earliness, smoothness and shallow eyes 
are its outstanding features. Everyone knows what it is, 
and knows that it can be relied on for an eafly market 
variety in almost every locality. 
Our illustration shows just how Olds’ Famous Improved 
Red River Grown Early Ohios look. Note the well-rounded 
symmetrical shape and uniform size. No run-out stock 
about them. 
We have both certified and uncertified stock of Red River 
Early Ohios. Both stocks are fine. The uncertified stock 
or U. S. No. 1 is practically pure and practically free from 
disease and is splendid seed stock; way ahead of ordinary 
Early Ohios.

EARLY OHIOS 
Irish Cobbler seems to continue to increase in popu¬ 
larity. People like a white potato. It is famous now 
the country .over. At first it was largely grown for the 
early market by the truckers of New Jersey and Virginia 
and other Atlantic coast states. From there its popularity 
has extended throughout the whole of the United States and 
it is a standard, well known variety now nearly every¬ 
where. 
It is a pure white potato, nearly round in shape with 
eyes rather more pronounced than in the Early Ohio. It 
usually outyields Early Ohio 
although not quite as early.
