GURNEY’S NORTHERN GROWN SEED POTATOES 
• IRISH COBBLER 
Tests made at the State Agricultural 
College, Brookings, S. Dak. place Irish 
Cobbler as the best yielder over a three- 
year period. 
It is second early, nearly round, pure 
white, a good keeper, and of very excel¬ 
lent quality, always cooking dry and 
mealy. On account of the short, stocky 
growth of the vine, this potato can be 
planted closer together than most 
varieties, ordinarily about one foot apart 
in the row. 5 lbs., 40c; 15 lbs., 85c; 
30 lbs., $1.20; 60 lbs., $2.10; 100 lbs., 
$3.40; 300 lbs., $9.90; 600 lbs., $19.30. 
Double Your Potato Yield By planting 
northern grown seed. 
All our potatoes are grown in North Dakota 
and Minnesota in the Red River Valley. 
• EARLY OHIO 
Early Ohio is the most popular early Potato in this country. 
It is the Standard Extra Early the country over and other 
varieties are measured by it. Our stock of this variety is 
grown under conditions that make them cost more than com¬ 
mon stock. They are selected, with the utmost care, and the 
result is grand, such as to delight every one who appreciates 
a good potato. 5 lbs., 40c; 15 lbs., 85c: 30 lbs., $1.20; 60 lbs., 
$2.10; 100 lbs., $3.40; 300 lbs., $9.90; 600 lbs., $19.30. 
SWEET POTATOES 
• EARLY JERSEY 
This variety is the most satisfactory 
for northern planting. We can furnish 
these for shipment about April 1st. The 
potatoes should be planted by the 10th 
of April, the sprouts transplanted from 
the 15th of May to as late as July 1st. 
The potatoes must be planted imme¬ 
diately on their arrival as they decay 
rapidly at that time of the year. Will 
yield from 200 to 300 bu. per acre. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 80c; 10 lbs., $1.45; 
40 lbs., $3.75; 80 lbs., $7.25. 
Gurney’s Bugless Potato Warba Potatoes Grown by Henry Lappe, Butte, Nebr. 
GURNEY’S BUGLESS POTATOES 
Has absolutely proved that it is more immune 
from bugs than any other potato grown, that it 
is seldom damaged by bugs, and that happens 
only in bad seasons. 
Test them for yourself. Plant a patch of 
Bugless and a patch of some other variety in 
the same field. In yield, quality and freedom 
from insect pests the Bugless will be the winner. 
Why should we grow other varieties of late 
potatoes subject to damage by bugs, lower yields 
and of inferior quality. 
Get in the Bugless game. Plant potatoes that 
will fill your cellars and your pocketbook. 
5 lbs., 50c; 15 lbs., 95c; 30 lbs., $1.35; 60 
lbs., $2.25; 100 lbs., $3.75; 300 lbs., $10.95; 
600 lbs., $21.40. 
• EARLY SIX WEEKS 
Fine potato for the early market. It is extra 
early. The potatoes begin to form when the 
vines are only 5 to 6 inches high, and in 7 to 8 
weeks from planting are of fine marketable size. 
The tubers are of a handsome, oval form, red 
color with shallow eyes. Splendid keepers and 
of the finest cooking quality. 5 lbs., 40c; 15 
lbs., 85c; 30 lbs., $1.20; 60 lbs., $2.15; 100 lbs., 
$3.50; 300 lbs., $10.20; 600 lbs., $19.90. 
• RED BLISS TRIUMPH 
This is positively the earliest potato grown. 
It is the variety you find on the market first in 
the spring from the south. A nearly round red 
potato. On account of its earliness it brings the 
highest price of any potato offered. It yields 
enormously. Everyone should plant a quantity 
of these for first early. 5 lbs., 40c; 15 lbs., 85c; 
30 lbs., $1.20; 60 lbs., $2.15; 100 lbs., $3.50; 
300 lbs., $10.20; 600 lbs., $19.90. 
WARBA THE NEW MINNESOTA POTATO 
As early as Red Bliss. It consistently out- 
yields Irish Cobbler. This attractive new 
potato looks like a pink eyed Irish Cobbler. The 
best potato introduced for many years. Warba 
is very resistant to mosaic disease and will pro¬ 
duce a crop of potatoes in hot, dry weather when 
all others are a total failure. Eating quality is 
unusually good. 
Our Warba potatoes were grown for us in 
Minnesota, and even though short of rain, 
yielded over 300 bushels per acre. 
Don’t wait, get started with this wonderful 
new potato now. 
5 lbs. t 60c; 15 lbs., $1.05; 30 lbs., $1.65; 60 
lbs., $2.75; 100 lbs., $4.50; 300 lbs., $13.20; 600 
lbs., $25.90. 
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES 
D. B. Gurney in a field of artichokes on his Yankton County farm. 
Price per pound, sufficient for 16 hills, 35c postpaid; not pre¬ 
paid 10 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $2.75; 100 lbs., $4.75; 500 lbs., $22.50. 
For Stock Food—For Power Alcohol or for Human Consumption 
There are just three reasons why you should plant Jerusalem Artichokes. 
First, in a small way, for experimental purposes. Second, if there is a dis¬ 
tillery within 75 miles of you, the acreage should be large and profitable to the 
grower. Third, if you are a producer of livestock of any kind, you should grow 
a sufficient acreage of this high protein, high sugar content vegetable to care 
for them until the first of June of the following year. If planted for hog feed, 
the hogs will do the harvesting. 
In the spring of 1935, I planted on my own farms, 70 acres of Artichokes, 
and they grew nine feet tall and made a heavy crop of tubers in spite of the 
dry weather. The yields vary from about five ton to twenty ton per acre, de¬ 
pending entirely on the season, the soil, and care. They are planted and 
harvested as you would potatoes, except that you mow the tops previous to 
harvesting. 
For planting, the tubers should be cut into pieces weighing about one 
ounce and plant 18 inches apart in the row and the rows three feet, eight 
inches. Give the same cultivation that you would corn. Plant any time in the 
spring after the ground is open, and you can leave the crop in the ground, if 
you wish, during the winter as they are perfectly hardy. 
The Artichoke is a very desirable food for human beings. They can be 
French Fried or boiled with the jacket on. 
Sugar made from the Artichoke is safe for use by diabetics and when made 
into Power Alcohol will produce approximately 250 gallons per acre, making 
it the most desirable and highest income crop that can be produced on the 
farm.—D. B. GURNEY. 
Plant 10 bushels of potatoes per acre.
