GREEN MOUNTAIN PEDIGREED SEED POTATOES 
These Potatoes have been bred and grown for us by Arthur W. Gilbert, Professor of Plant Breeding at Cor¬ 
nell University, and author of a recent book on the “Potato.” The very latest methods of hill-selection were used 
in producing this remarkable strain. 
The ideal hill is the hill that produces the maximum number of smooth, uniform tubers of marketable size. 
A hill may produce one or two excellent potatoes and many small ones. Hence, the hill and not the individual tuber 
is the true unit of selection. 
Several times during the growing season the fields are carefully gone over in order to mark the hills that show 
most vigor. At digging time, the potatoes of any hill that fails to meet the standard of uniformity and high yield 
are discarded for seed purposes. Professor Gilbert has bred these potatoes for several years on the Gilbert Farms 
and his seed stock has given entire satisfaction wherever used. 
In the basket shown below at the right, are some of this seed which took the Grand Sweepstakes Prize at the 
National Corn Exposition.

GREEN MOUNTAIN 
is the variety which in New England at least 
has superseded other sorts as the main crop 
table potato. It is a large, handsome, white- 
fleshed tuber that cooks dry and mealy; more¬ 
over, it yields well on all types of soil.
