SEED POTATOES 
In selecting our stock of seed potatoes we endeavor to secure the best 
that money can buy. Some varieties are grown for us in the Red River 
Valley, while others are obtained in Wisconsin and Northern Minnesota. 
We exercise the greatest care in sending out stock that is true to 
type, sound and free from disease, but still we would advise treating 
with Formaldehyde, Mercurnol, or Semesan-Bel before planting, as the 
soil you plant in may be previously infected. 
Directions for treating potatoes with Formaldehyde to prevent scab 
and several other equally destructive potato diseases: Soak the tubers 
(before cutting) one and one-half hours in a solution made at the rate 
of one pound of Formaldehyde to thirty gallons of water, or for small 
quantities, 1 ounce to 6% auarts of water. Then cut and plant as usual. 
Treating Potatoes with Semesan-Bel 
Special Semesan-Bel booklet, giving full information and instructions on 
the treatment of potatoes against disease, etc., will be sent on request. 
See Insecticide page for prices on Formaldehyde and Semesan. 
Mercurnol. A simple, effective and economical treatment for seed pota¬ 
toes to help eliminate infections of scab, blackleg and rhizoctonia. 1 
quart of Mercurnol and 25 gallons of water, treats 40 bushels of pota¬ 
toes. 1 pint, 70c; 1 quart, $1.25; 1 gallon, $4.25. 
FERTILIZER. Most of our Minnesota Peat soil can be made to pro¬ 
duce abundant crops if the proper fertilizers are applied. For potatoes, 
an application of 600 pounds of 0-9-27 to the acre, will give wonderful 
results; while on upland, we would recommend using 500 pounds to 
the acre of 3-15-12. 
Early Ohio Red River Valley Stock 
For early market it has no equal. It is a good keeper notwithstanding 
its earliness. This potato is in more demand than any other variety 
and can be depended on to give a uniformly good yield under almost 
all conditions and soils. Has a very smooth pinkish skin, shallow eyes. 
Early Triumph 
This is the earliest potato grown in many states. The size is from 
medium to small and almost round. The skin is red but the flesh is 
white and firm. It is a good keeper and a favorite with many as it 
is about 7 to 10 days earlier than the Ohio. 
Green Mountain 
The best late white potato, similar to the Rural New Yorker, but is a 
more oblong rectangular tuber. It is better suited to rich heavy soils 
than Rural New Yorkers as the tubers are not likely to grow hollow. 
Yields heavily even on poor soil. A popular variety in North Central 
and Northeastern Minnesota. 
See Special List for Prices 
of Seed Potatoes. 
Early Ohio Potato 
Irish Cobbler 
It is a very early round white potato somewhat flat¬ 
tened with rather deep eyes, medium to large in size. 
The Irish Cobbler is a very vigorous grower and is 
not as liable to be diseased as other varieties. It is a 
heavy yielder and a good keeper, and especially well 
adapted to peat soils in Minnesota. 
Warba 
A new introduction by the Minn. Exp. Sta. Matures early; 
about 7 to 10 days earlier than Triumph or Early Ohio. 
Is a big yielder. Shape similar to the Triumph but 
larger. Tubers are round, blocky, white with pink eye. 
Ch ippewa 
Another new late potato introduced by the U. S. Dept, 
of Agric. Is earlier than Green Mountain or Carman 
and a heavier yielder. It is a fine cooker With very shal¬ 
low eyes. Shape is semi-round and somewhat longer 
than its width. 
Russet Burbank 
One of the best potatoes for baking. Cooks up mealy and 
pearly white. Tubers are of good size, oblong with shal¬ 
low eyes and netted skin. Very disease resistant. Pro¬ 
duces a heavy crop but should be planted on rich ground. 
PUMPKINS 
CULTURE. Pumpkins may be planted with corn by 
planting- the pumpkin seed in every 4th or 5th row of 
corn one way by every 3rd or 4th row across, dropping 
4 seeds in a hill. When raised alone, the hills should 
be 10 feet apart each way, dropping 6 or 7 seeds in a 
hill and cultivating both ways. Cultivate with a. section 
the harrow. One ounce of seed will make 15 hills, 
and about 2 pounds are needed for an acre. 
Early Sugar or Pie* 
This pumpkin is small, round, slightly ribbed, skin and 
flesh deep orange. Flesh is very thick, fine grained, 
sweet and of finest quality. A big yielder and a good 
keeper. One of the best for pies. 
Winter Luxury Pie 
Round, medium in size with a golden yellow skin, closely 
netted. Exceptionally fine for pies and a good keeper. 
Flesh is thick, sweet, tender and of fine flavor. 
Gould’s Mammoth Field 
One of the largest and best, especially for stock feeding. 
It is also a good keeper. 
Connecticut Field* 
The standard field Pumpkin. It is largely grown for 
stock feeding, but is also generally used for pumpkin 
P>e and canning. The outside is reddish orange in color, 
the inside orange yellow. Is very solid, fine grained 
and slightly ribbed. Strong and vigorous grower. 
White Gold 
An early potato very much like the Green Mountain for 
size and shape. It matures about ten days to two weeks 
earlier than Triumph, Early Ohio or Irish Cobbler. See 
Special Field Seed List for prices.
