ROBSON SEED FARMS * HALL, N. Y. 
Page 21 
Two years ago we received a number of small orders for Robson Seedling Potatoes from the 
Hudson River Valley. This new variety did so well there that we are now shipping in carload lots. 
This is what happens wherever we have introduced this variety. Notice how smooth the tubers 
are. The flattened shape helps them to bake quickly and evenly. 
CERTIFIED SEED POTATOES 
Several years of experience has convinced us that late produced potatoes make the best 
seed. The yield from this seed has in some cases been a third greater than from early planted 
stock. We plan to make our plantings the last week in June and the first week in July. The 
seed produced runs rather small but we maintain our yield by planting closer. 
Our Robson Seedling and Rural Russet seed has been inspected by the New York Seed 
Improvement Cooperative Association and found eligible for certification 
* CERTIFIED ROBSON SEEDLING: A number of 
years ago we originated this variety from seed taken 
from a potato blossom seedball. In test plots carried 
on by the New York State College of Agriculture 
Robson Seedling has proved to be one of the heaviest 
yielding varieties and very resistant to scab. On ac¬ 
count of its desirability and the very enthusiastic re¬ 
ports from our customers we feel that we can strongly 
recommend this strain above all others that we have 
tested for home garden or field production where 
Rural type varieties are grown. 
The Robson Seedling is of the Rural type, medium 
late, excellent shape for baking and will hold firm 
much later in the spring than most other varieties. 
1 to 5 bu. $2.15 per bu.; 5 bu. or more $2.00 per 
bu. Not prepaid. 
* CERTIFIED RURAL RUSSET: Good quality late 
potato that seems to do well on the heavier types of 
soil. The tuber is oval, flattened in shape and cov¬ 
ered with a net-like russetting. 1 to 5 bu. $2.00 per 
bu.; 5 bu. or more $1.85 per bu. Not prepaid. 
BLISS TRIUMPH: Medium early, round, red-skinned 
potato of excellent quality. The interior of the tuber 
is very white and cooks well. One of the best vari¬ 
eties for the home garden and roadside stand, not 
certified. 1 to 5 bu. $2.00 per bu.; 5 bu. or more 
$1.85 per bu. Not prepaid. 
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND CERTIFIED IRISH 
COBBLERS : This seed was grown on Prince Edward 
Island, Canada. Weather and soil conditions there 
are ideal for the production of Cobbler potatoes. 
Prince Edward Island Seed of this variety is much 
more vigorous and produces a larger yield than seed 
grown farther south. 
The tubers are clean, very smooth and of a uni¬ 
form size. This stock is inspected and certified by 
the Canadian Government. 
We have handled Prince Edward Island Cobblers 
for a number of years and have had growers report 
crops yielding as high as 300 bushels per acre. 1 
peck by Parcels Post $1.25 postpaid. 1 to 5 bus. 
$3.00 per bu.; 5 bu. or more $2.85 per bu. Not 
prepaid. 
Potatoes grown from our Certified Rural Russet Seed won First Prize at the Ontario County Fair in 1936. 
Unless otherwise specified potatoes will be shipped about April 10th.
