and bred for quality, yield and disease re¬

EARLY OHIO 
This old favorite is a heavy yiqlder, of even 
size, medium to large, oval in shape tubers, 
very smooth, with shallow eyes. Early Chios 
always bring a high market price, and thtough 
very early, they keep well. The flesh is white, 
firm, fine grained, and of excellent flavor. The 
cooking and baking qualities are unsurpassed. 
Price: 10 lbs. for 60c prepaid to 3rd zone. 
EARLY IRISH COBBLER 
Another extra fine early potato, and one that 
is not easily affected by blight and insects. 
The tubers are nearly round, with prominent 
ridges at ends, causing uneven surface, and 
slightly flattened, rather blocky shape. The 
skin is white, well netted, with eyes of medium 
depth and number. It is a fine flavored potato 
and a heavy yielder. Price: 10 lbs. for 60c,

"WHITE GOLD" 
EXTRA EARLY WHITE POTATO 
Ten days to two weeks earlier to market 
frequently means the difference between a 
decent profit and a possible loss. White Gold 
Potato growers in hundreds of letters tell of 
their wonderful success and fine profits. The 
chief reason was because White Gold Potatoes 
were ready two weeks earlier than Cobblers, 
Triumphs or Early Chios. 
White Gold Potatoes were developed from 
a potato seedling in Itasca County, Minnesota. 
For six years the seedlings were carefully 
selected and increased before the new potato 
was introduced. It has the size and shape of 
the Green Mountain, though the eyes are shal¬ 
low and it is of slightly netted appearance. 
The yields compare favorably with, the late 
varieties such as Carmans and Rural New 
Yorkers. The outstanding features, however, 
are its earliness, good size and big yields. 
White Golds will keep in storage better than 
many late varieties. The cooking and baking 
quality is unsurpassed.

POTATOES 
U. S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE'S 
NEW CHIPPEWA (Certified) 
CHIPPEWA is the most recent introduction 
by the Department of Agriculture. It is con¬ 
siderably earlier than Katahdin or Green 
Mountain and is especially well adapted for 
the Northwest. In all tests the yields have 
been higher than other late varieties like Rural 
New Yorker, Carman, Katahdin or Green 
Mountain. 
Since this potato matures ahead of most all 
other late varieties, it promises to become the 
most popular storage potato and will replace 
many of the old-timers. The tubers are smooth, 
regular in outline, with very shallow eyes. It 
is an excellent cooker and shows a high degree 
of resistance to mild mosaic. 
We predict a great future for this potato 
and advise our friends to get a start this 
season. 
Price: 10 lbs. 75c, prepaid to 3rd zone. See 
Blue Figure Price List for quotations on larger 
quantities. 
New Warba—(Early). 
NEW WARBA (Certified) 
Now Replacing the Triumph 
After a 5-year test, the Minnesota Agricul¬ 
tural Experiment Station introduced a valuable 
new early potato—a cross of a selected seed¬ 
ling and Bliss Triumph. It resembles Bliss 
Triumph, though is larger in size—a bigger 
yielder, has white crisp flesh and is excep¬ 
tionally quick maturing. Its season is 7 to 10 
days earlier than Bliss Triumph or Early Ohio. 
The vines are upright, sturdy and resistant 
to mild mosaic. Tubers are short, round, 
blocky, white with pink eyes and uniform in 
size, with few culls. 
Price: 10 lbs., 66c, prepaid to 3rd zone. See 
Blue Figure Price List for quotations on larger

GIRASOL —^^The Lazy Man’s Spud 
Improved American Artichoke 
// 
Above tubers were dug from a single 
hill of “Girasol.” 
Tubers not available until Rpril 10th as seed 
stock cannot be dug until after the frost is out 
of the ground in spring. 
Bushel (40 lbs.)—20 to 22 bushels will 
plant an acre. 
fl Valuable Food for Diabetics and 
Those NotPermitted To Eat Starchy Foods 
The tubers can be eaten cooked, or served 
raw in salads. They contain carbohydrates 
in the form of inulin, instead of starch, 
and need not be cooked to bring out their 
food value. Recipe booklet mailed free 
upon request. 
Easy To Grow 
Plant 3 feet apart in rows 4 feet apart. 
Cut tubers like potatoes. 
Girasol will thrive in any soil and re¬ 
sponds to liberal feeding, yielding boun¬ 
tifully. The foliage becomes so dense, 
that after two cultivations, weeds cannot 
survive. Girasol tubers are relished by 
livestock and poultry. 
The average yield is 10 to 20 tons of 
tubers per acre, with an equal amount of 
silage from the tops. If not convenient 
to dig the crop in the fall, tubers can be 
left in the ground until the following 
spring, as they are not injured by freezing. 
PRICE: 5 lbs. $1.00, prepaid to third 
zone only.—Not prepaid, 1/4 bu. 80c, V2 
bu. $1.60, bu. $2.80.
