IT PAYS TO PLANT NORTHERN GROWN 
CERTIFIED SEED POTATOES 
Keep your own costs down by raising more 
bushels per acre, and this can be done by 
planting Northern Grown Certified Seed. 
Seed from the North comes to you with a 
vigor which your home grown seed does not 
possess. This fact is recognized by successful 
potato growers. 
We sell certified seed and we select our seed 
from farms that have produced full crops, that 
show a low disease count, and finally are 
stored, handled and shipped by men whose 
business is seed and have pride in their 
product. 
The low prices at which potatoes are selling 
at the time our catalogue goes to press may 
induce some planters to use home grown seed. 
This we believe would be a mistake. Northern 
grown certified seed would cost only a few 
dollars more per acre, and would be justified by 
increased yield. The more bushels you can grow 
on an acre reduces your cost per bushel. 
Forty acres of Green Mountain potatoes on the farm of 
Ray Howard, Somers, Conn., grown on O&W fertilizer.
