DIBBLE’S 
"V^ EARS ago, when we introduced this 
variety, we had only 1000 barrels to 
sell. The third year we sold over 11,000 
barrels. Never before did a new variety 
make a name for itself so quickly. 
Dibble’s Russet is the best main-crop 
Potato for western New York, and is 
grown extensively in Michigan, Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, Maine, and other Potato- 
producing states. It outyields other 
DIBBLE’S RUSSET POTATO, A FIELD ON OUR OWN FARMS 
Notice the magnificent foliage in the picture below. We have found t 
Russet the most disease-resistant of any variety, and over a hundred of c 
customers have written us that Dibble’s Russet was blight-proof while otf 
varieties were blighted and died in the same or adjoining fields. 
D IBBLE’S Russet Po¬ 
tatoes are round to 
oblong, of good size, with 
pure white flesh, russet 
skin and few, shallow eyes. 
The quality is superb, and 
either baked or boiled is not 
excelled by any other va¬ 
riety. Dibble’s Russet is 
enormously productive and 
has all the qualities that 
make for a profitable mar¬ 
ket Potato. The tubers are 
as large, or larger, than 
Rurals, Carman or Raleigh, 
and where those sorts set 
only four or five tubers to a 
hill, the Russet produces 
eight, ten, or even twelve 
big tubers. The vines are 
strong and disease-resistant. 
Dibble’s Russet Potato is the original round to 
oblong type of the Russet family. From its first 
introduction by us it has been bred absolutely 
true to type, and our stock seed is saved from 
fields entirely free from early or late blight, and 
where the vines were green and healthy until killed 
by frost. Our customers say that Dibble’s Russet 
carries these inbred qualities to every locality 
where they are planted, and ninety-nine out of 
every hundred growers say Dibble’s Russet is the 
best Potato grown. 
Dibble’s Russet is the Potato for you to grow on 
your farm. You will find it more profitable and far 
superior to any other variety for the main Potato 
crop. Whether you have “Potato soil” or not, you 
will get a good yield if the soil is in good condition. 
Sand, gravel, loam, or clay will produce a satis¬ 
factory crop. Many customers say the vines are 
blight-proof, and spraying is not needed; neither do 
bugs like the foliage, for we have seen thousands of 
acres of Dibble’s Russet where neither Paris green 
nor arsenate of lead was used, and the vines were 
perfect. 
If you say you “can’t grow Potatoes,” get a sack 
of Dibble’s Russet this year. Give them a careful trial. 
We feel sure you will be satisfied, and next season 
you will be an enthusiastic booster for Dibble’s 
Russet.
