SALZER’S EARLY SIX WEEKS POTATOES 
We are nationally known as the largest retail seed 
potato house in the country, and handle more varieties 
of potatoes than any other company. Our seed is grown 
in the fertile Eagle Valley and Red River Valley of 
Northern Minnesota, two districts which have not as yet 
been surpassed for quality seed. Because of .growing 
conditions, our potatoes are smaller than U. S. Grade No. 1 
this year, and will measure 1*4 in. to 1% in. and 1% in. 
instead of the U. S. Grade of 1% in. This size, however, 
should prove very desirable. Except where noted, the 
stock is not state certified, as many customers hesitate 
in paying the increased cost. All of our potatoes are 
grown for seed only. 
Salzer’s Early Siv Weeks stands alone as the great ear¬ 
liest general purpose Potato! It is ahead of Salzer’s 
Earliest in quality and yield, although not quite so early, 
but is 10 days earlier than the famous Early Ohio Potato. 
There is another great advantage in planting Salzer’s 
Early Six Weeks Potatoes and that is that it has never 
failed to produce a good crop of extremely early, very 
large tubers. 
Salzer’s Early Six Weeks is fit for market everywhere 
in just about six weeks. It is good for midsummer, good 
for late summer, good for fall, and magnificent to put into 
winter quarters, where it will keep splendidly and give 
you the finest flavored, best quality eating Potatoes 
imaginable. If we had but one Potato to plant, this would 
be the Potato every time. 
Skin is pink and smooth. The flesh is white and cooks 
mealy. Round to oblong in shape. Salzer’s Early Six 
Weeks Potato is one of the best market varieties for all 
sections of the country.

CHIPPEWA 
WARBA 
The new midseason potato, developed by the U. S. Dep’t of Agriculture! 
Chippewa is a grand keeper, a heavy yielder, and is ideal for those sections 
that demand a midseason potato. Flesh is pure white, firm, fine flavor, 
cooks and bakes nicely. Keeps unusually well. Write for prices. 
KATAHDIN 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Katahdin promises 
to become the best late potato for market, home and for storage! It keeps 
better than any other potato grown today. Yields heavily. 
The tubers of Katahdin are short, elliptical to roundish, very shallow eyes, 
white skin, firm iwhite flesh, and cook up dry and mealy. Elegant for bak¬ 
ing. The skin is smoother than the Rural and it peels with less tare. In 
shape it is nearly a ball. Write for prices. 
An extra early potato developed by 
the Minnesota Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station. Its primary features 
are earliness, heavy yield, resistance 
to common forms of mosaic, uniform 
size tubers, excellent cooking quali¬ 
ties, vines upright and compact. Test 
yields were 278 bushels per acre of 
handsome extra early potatoes! War- 
ba is a cross of a selected seedling with 
Bliss Triumph. The potatoes are very 
short, round, and blocky, of good size, 
skin smooth, creamy white, eyes pink 
and of medium depth. The flesh is pure 
white and cooks and bakes beautifully. 
Warba is 7 to 10 days earlier than 
Early Ohio and Bliss Triumph. Certi¬ 
fied Warba: Write for prices. 
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES 
The new sugar crop for diabetics! Jerusalem Artichokes contain inulin and authori¬ 
ties find that these may be assimilated when diabetics cannot safely take any other carbo¬ 
hydrates, except in small quantities. They also supply levulo.se which is almost 50% 
sweeter than either cane sugar or beet sugar, termed sucrose. Many diabetics are eating 
Jerusalem Artichokes with great benefit, and hospitals should be apprised of a source of 
supply! They resemble potatoes and may be eaten like potatoes either fried or baked, 
as potato chips or as soup stock. The levulose is in demand by confectioners, bakers and 
canners and in Indiana a factory was erected for the extraction of this valuable “sweeter 
than sugar” levulose. Plant a pound or two in your yard. 
As a farm crop, it is one crop in which the tops and tubers may both be utilized! They 
may be both fed to all classes of live stock; chickens lay more eggs, cows give more milk, 
and hogs fatten and are free from disease. Jerusalem Artichoke tops alone yield 5 to 15 
tons of silage or fodder to the acre, and of high quality, especially for dairy cattle. The 
tubers yield from 10 to 20 tons per acre! Grows on practically any soil but does best on 
light and sandy soils. Will grow on soil too poor for potatoes! Is not damaged by early 
frosts or light freezes, 
8 bu. plant an acre, spaced 3 ft. by 2 ft. in rows. One acre should keep 20 to 30 hogs 
from Oct. to April. Some leave the hogs root out the tubers right in the field. Plant like 
potatoes, planting the small ones whole, from early spring until June. Potato machinery 
may be used for planting and digging. Diabetics may order this seed stock for immediate 
table use! Price: Lb., 25o; 3 lbs., 57c; 5 lbs., 85o; 15 lbs., $1.98, postpaid to 4th zone. 
Not prepaid: 15 lbs.. $1.35; 30 lbs., $2.15; bu. (60 lbs.), $3.50; 100 lbs., $5.50; 500 lbs., 
$27.00; 1000 lbs., $52.95. (Quantity lots are f.o.b. our farms in Michigan.)
