Our seed 
stock is grown almost 
exclusively in the Red River 
of Minnesota and North Da- 
_ We consider that this district pro¬ 
duces the finest seed potatoes in the 
world. They have the quality, life and 
vigor needed for big production. Our seed 
is carefully sorted stock from selected seed. 
We will ship you a product distinctly su¬ 
perior to the average potato. They will 
make you money. 
Northern Grown Seed of Proven Varieties 
We handle the kinds that have established their worth. We make no preposterous claims 
I for .some little known variety. You will receive from us the kind of seed that will enable you 
[ to.o-rQw more bushels of better potatoes per acre. It pays to get this kind either for home use or 
• market. We are selling such seed at bargain prices. Place your orders now. Shipment will be 
made in the spring as soon as weather conditions make it safe to ship. 
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¬ 
face. Vines are sturdy. In yield and quality they are ex¬ 
cellent. Most everyone likes the Early Ohio and you will 
be more partial to them than ever when you plant some of 
our improved seed. 
Irish Cobblers 
Also an early variety although not quite as 
I 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 growung 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- 
I 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.

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 
A distinctly superior variety of late potato and a general 
favorite with growers of main crop varieties. It is not 
very late and might better be classified as medium late. 
It is a vigorous grower and a remarkable drought re¬ 
sister. Goes down deep for moisture in dry years. 
Produces 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.
