Seed Potatoes 
Growers generally have paid little attention to the care¬ 
ful selection of seed potatoes. In many instances, culls 
or unmarketable potatoes have been used, as well as ma¬ 
tured potatoes. Planting such stock results in poor yields 
of inferior quality. Many planters ask what is the dif¬ 
ference between regular eating potatoes and seed potatoes? 
One is, in our selection of seed potatoes we intend to elim¬ 
inate the fully matured tubers. Contrary to general 
opinion, immature seed gives large yields as well as in¬ 
creased vigor in vines. 
Culture: Potatoes can be grown in any soil provided it 
is fairly rich, but potatoes usually do best on loose, sandy 
loam and are of better quality than if planted on heavy 
clay soil. Cut the potatoes in 4 or 6 pieces, so there is 
at least one eye on each piece. About 3 pieces should 
be planted in each hill, 3 to 4 inches deep, according to 
the time of planting, in rows 3 feet apart and 16 to 18 
inches apart in the rows. Keep the ground loose about 
the hills. Do not water unless soil becomes quite dry. 
Early Ohio Red River. Our Early Ohio Bed River seed 
potatoes are grown in the extreme north of Minnesota, 
where the potato growers have specialized on Early 
Ohios for years and have developed the best type of this 
variety. Seed from this district is earlier and our seed 
is free from disease. Maturing early brings the fancy 
prices that are paid for the first potatoes. This potato 
can be dug and marketed before it is fully matured. 
Early Ohio, Colorado Dryland Grown. These seed pota¬ 
toes are produced on the drylands of Elbert County, 
known as the Divide Country, although they give very 
satisfactory results and they usually can be priced and 
sold for less money than the Red River Ohios, as trans¬ 
portation is less. 
Irish Cobbler or Eureka. An extra early variety, matur¬ 
ing only a week or ten days later than the Early Ohios. 
The eyes are strong, well developed, and slightly in¬ 
dented. The flesh is creamy white and of fine quality 
and flavor. 
Bliss Triumphs. A popular early variety. Tubers are nearly 
round, with red, smooth skin, small shallow eyes, very 
uniform in size and shape. One of the prettiest potatoes 
grown. Our seed of this variety is dry-land western- 
grown and acclimated to the West. 
Rural New Yorker 
Early Ohio 
Red McClure or Peachblow. Well known the country over, 
and very largely planted for main crop in our mountain 
valleys. In many sections this variety is the rival of the 
Burbank and is undoubtedly a fine potato. It is one 
of the most beautiful potatoes grown, and will bring 
more money on most markets than any other variety. 
It is an abundant yielder and a very good keeper. One 
of the leading sorts among the mountain growers. 
Russet Burbank or Netted Gem. An oblong, large, white 
potato, with shallow eyes and netted skin. Flesh white, 
very mealy, and fine flavor. Excellent quality. The best 
and most popular baking variety. It seems to be espe¬ 
cially adapted to our soil and mountain climate and is 
a very heavy yielder and scab resistant. 
Rural New Yorker. This is the most popular main crop 
potato grown in the northern Colorado district. It is 
large, oblong, smooth and very attractive.
