Red River Early Ohios 
This pink skinned potato is one of the finest, earliest and 
most productive varieties you can grow. Our northern grown 
seed will mature a crop at least a week earlier than your 
home grown seed. You will have a larger yield, and they 
will be smoother and larger sized potatoes. Up in the Red 
River Valley where our seed was produced they have devel¬ 
oped this variety to a high state of perfection. No better seed 
can be found. 
This potato has pure white flesh. Eyes are near the sur- 
Spaulding Rose 
An excellent medium maturing variety. Quite a large 
potato, oblong in shape. It is a heavy producer. The 
quality is fine. Cooks white and mealy. Color is slightly 
red or pink. It is a good variety to select if you want a 
main crop type that matures earlier than the average. 
Vines are strong. It is a vigorous grower. 
Banner

face. Vines are sturdy. In yield and quality they are ex- f aV nrit« with „ 01 1!U0 P ouu °. ana * general 
cellent. Most everyone likes the Early Ohio and you will ‘ . t ’* la J n cr °P vari eties. It is not

our imnroved seed 1S - a V1 6° r °us grower and a remarkable drought re-

Irish Cobblers Prod ? ces smooth, plump, handsome tubers, creamy 
white in color. Eyes strong, skin netted. Disease 
resistant. A splendid cooker. A high quality 
potato and an extra heavy producer. 
Rural New Yorker 
A standard main season variety and a 
very reliable one. Makes big, solid tubers of 
fine quality. Quite drought resistant. This 
potato is an excellent keeper. They remain 
in good shape until new potatoes come on. 
It ranks along with the best as a heavy 
yielder and is worthy of high praise. 
Russet Rural 
This Is a variety similar to the Rural New 
'Yorker. The skin is tougher and does not 
bruise as easily. Color depends somewhat 
on the kind of soil it is grown in. Golden Rus¬ 
set color on light soils, darker on heavier land. 
Skins somewhat netted. Stands* close planting. 
Disease resistant and a very heavy producer. 
Also an early variety although not quite as 
early as the Red River. The heaviest producer 
in its class and a quality that is exceedingly 
fine. It was originally classified among the 
late varieties but extensive growing in the 
north and some selection for seed as to 
earliness has classified it as a medium early 
variety. 
The skin and flesh are white. It cooks 
dry and is one of the best flavored varieties. 
Generally round in shape and somewhat ob¬ 
long. Our 'Irish Cobbler is a great favorite 
with market gardeners as they find a ready 
sale for them, their customers calling for 
more. At the same time it is one of the 
most productive varieties. This Cobbler has 
been sold under other names at fancy prices 
’and always made satisfied customers. Our 
selected northern grown seed is worth 
more to you than we are pricing 
them at.
