Everyone knows the importance of using seed potatoes that are free 
from the diseases that are transmitted by the seed. Diseases such as 
mosaic, leaf roll, wilt, etc. may not be very apparent but they reduce the 
yield very much. The only way to raise potatoes at a profit is to plant 
seed free from these diseases. It will pay you well to discard your old 
seed and plant only clean seed. 
All of our potatoes are from crops that have been inspected by the 
N. Y. Seed Improvement Association and certified as practically free 
from disease. 
PLEASE READ:—Prices here given are for the potatoes carefully 
put up for shipment and delivered to freight house or express office with¬ 
out extra charge, but the purchaser is to pay transportation. Please write 
for prices on larger lots than are listed here. 
By Parcel Post. Potatoes can be sent by parcel post if the amount to 
cover the necessary postage is added to the price. A peck weighs 15 lbs. 
and a bushel 60 lbs. See inside front cover. 
Shipping Season. It is usually safe to ship potatoes from here about 
April 1st. If our customers wish us to ship earlier we will do so, but we will 
not hold ourselves responsible for loss by freezing if the potatoes are 
ordered sent earlier than in our judgment it is safe to ship them. 
Half bushels and half pecks will be sent at half the bushel and peck 
price. We can send only one variety in a sack. 
If you want extra early potatoes: 
Try the New WARBA! 
This new potato which was introduced by the Minnesota Experiment 
Station is 10 days earlier than Irish Cobbler and a week earlier than 
Triumph. Comparative tests have shown the yield also to be better 
than the Cobbler. The vines are sturdy, upright and remarkably resist¬ 
ant to disease, especially mosaic. 
The handsome, and distinctive tubers are round and blocky with a 
smooth white skin and a light pink eye. They resemble Cobbler except 
for the pink eye. The flesh is white and of excellent quality. 
We believe this new variety will prove to be most excellent for the 
home garden and roadside stands where fine early potatoes are wanted.

CHIPPEWA 
New Heavy Yielding, Early White 
This new early potato is only a little later than Irish Cobbler and yields 
better than that variety. The potato is very attractive, being white with 
few shallow eyes and is fully equal to Cobbler in eating qualities. It is 
adapted to a wide range of soils (both muck and upland) and is resistant 
to mild mosaic. We can recommend Chippewa highly for an early potato.

IRISH COBBLERS 
The most popular early potato and are of the best in this class. It yields 
better than any other kind (except Warba) that is equally early. The 
potatoes are round, white, have rather deep eyes, of fine quality and very 
early. Much of the Irish Cobbler seed sold is either not that variety 
at all or is mixed with other kinds which are usually later and make the 
crop mature unevenly. The seed we offer is true to name.

Second Size. (Certified.) These are small potatoes not quite large 
enough to pass the first grade. They are from the same certified fields.

portation. 
Golden Rural Potatoes 
GOLDEN RURAL or RURAL RUSSET 
Heaviest Yielding Kind 
We are convinced that this variety will produce larger crops than any 
other kind where conditions of soil and climate suit it, as they do here 
and in a large section of country in the northern states. 
The vines are strong, vigorous and healthy with dark green leaves and 
thick purple stems. They do not usually blight. The potatoes are round, 
flattened, quite shallow and the slightly russet skin is very rarely affected 
with scab. The flesh is pure white, very firm and of fine quality. Each 
hill usually has 7 to 9 good sized potatoes.

SMOOTH RURALS 
Also called Heavy Weight or No. 9 
This potato has steadily won a place for itself each year near the top of 
the list for yield in New York State. There are very few kinds equal to it. 
The potatoes are round to oblong, have fairly numerous medium shal¬ 
low eyes, purple sprouts, and smooth white skin. The vines are rather 
stocky and very vigorous and resistant to disease. This is one of the best 
of the Smooth Rural or Carman class and is fast replacing many other 
kinds for the late or main crop.

GREEN MOUNTAIN 
If you want nice mealy white potatoes of the finest quality raise Green 
Mountains. They are far superior to most of the kinds usually raised. 
The tubers are round, slightly flattened, and have few shallow eyes. The 
skin is white with a slight netting which usually goes with fine quality. 
This is a medium early variety and yields heavy crops on soil suited to 
it. It does best on rather light or gravelly soil and in the northern locali¬ 
ties altho it is largely grown and produces great crops on Long Island. 
An excellent kind for New York and all of New England.
