“BEST FIVE” 
Early Varieties 
of Potatoes 
adapted to the 
Northern and Eastern States 
As a result of competitive tests for a period of years on our own farms 
and on the farms of our growers, we have found that today there are 
just five varieties of early Potatoes that are worth growing in our 
territory. 
Dibble’s Irish Cobbler 
The best extra-early white Potato. Tubers are smooth, round, plump, 
creamy white; eyes well developed. The white flesh is of excellent quality. 
A week to ten days later than Early Ohio, but usually more produc¬ 
tive, with tubers of good eating quality while the vines are still green. 
The “best” early for all-round culture, as it will give excellent results on 
any soil. The fields from which we saved our stock seed averaged 325 to 
625 bushels per measured acre. Our Cobblers are very choice, all grown 
from Prince Edward Island Certified Seed. 
Dibble’s Early Ohio 
For first early there is nothing to compare with the Early Ohio. It is 
round to oblong, with pink skin, white flesh of excellent quality, and extra 
early. Our pedigree stock was grown from North Dakota Certified Seed. 
Dibble’s Spaulding Rose 
A seedling of the old Early Rose, producing a much better yield of 
larger tubers. Skin is pink, with white flesh of good eating quality. A 
most desirable medium-early Potato for sandy loam soils. 
Dibble’s Warba 
A seedling of Bliss Triumph from the Minnesota Experiment Station, 
with smooth white skin and pink eye. Earlier than the Cobbler, a heavy 
yielder, and immune to mosaic disease. It outyielded the Cobbler by 
100 bushels per acre. If your soil is not heavy, we suggest trying a few 
Warbas for early market. 
Dibble’s Chippewa 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and is seven to 
ten days later than Irish Cobblers. It sets tubers early and they develop 
fast. Immune to mild mosaic and superior to the Cobbler in smooth¬ 
ness and whiteness. In yield tests covering the past 5 years, it has out- 
yielded the best strains of Cobblers on both muck and upland soils.
