NORTHERN 
GROWN 
INSPECTED 
Much of 
our seed stock is 
grown in the Red River Yalley 
of Minnesota and North Dakota. We 
consider that this district produces the 
finest seed potatoes in the world. They 
have the quality, life and vigor needed 
for big production. Our seed is carefully 
sorted stock from selected seed. We will 
ship you a product distinctly superior to 
the average potato. They will make you 
money. 
Northern Grown Seed of Proven Varieties 
We handle the kinds that have established their worth. We make no preposterous claims 
for some little known variety. You will receive seed that will grow more bushels of better pota¬ 
toes per acre. We are selling such seed at bargain prices. Place your orders now. Shipment will 
be made in the spring as soon as weather conditions make it safe to ship. 
Red River Early Ohios 
This pink skinned potato is one of the finest, earliest and 
most productive varieties you can grow. Our northern grown 
seed will mature a crop at least a week earlier than your 
home grown seed. You will have a larger yield, and they 
will be smoother and larger sized potatoes. Up in the Red 
River Valley where our seed was produced they have devel¬ 
oped this variety to a high state of perfection. 
This potato has pure white flesh. Eyes are near the sur¬ 
face. Vines are sturdy. In yield and quality they are ex¬ 
cellent. Most everyone likes the Early Ohio. 
Irish Cobblers 
Also an early variety although not quite as early 
as the Red River. The heaviest producer in its class 
and a quality that is exceedingly fine. 
The skin and flesh are white. It cooks dry 
and is one of the best flavored varieties. Gen¬ 
erally round in shape and somewhat oblong. 
' Our Irish Cobbler is a great favorite with 
market gardeners as they find a ready sale 
for them. This Cobbler has been sold by 
us for years and always made satisfied cus¬ 
tomers. Our-selected northern grown seed is 
worth more to you than we are pricing them 
at.

Banner 
A distinctly superior variety of late potato and a general 
favorite with growers of main crop varieties. It might bet- 
ter be classified as medium late. It is a vigorous grower 
and a remarkable drought resister. Produces smooth, plump, 
handsome tubers, creamy white in color. Eyes strong 
skin netted. Disease resistant. A splendid cooker.’ 
A high quality potato and an extra heavy pro¬ 
ducer. * 
Rural New Yorker 
A standard main season variety and a 
very reliable one. Makes big, solid tubers of 
fine quality. Quite drought resistant. This 
potato is an excellent keeper. They remain 
in good shape until new potatoes come on

yielder and is worthy of high praise. 
Russet Rural 
This is a variety similar to the Rural New 
Yorker. The skin is tougher and does not 
bruise as easily. Color depends somewhat 
on the kind of soil it is grown in. Golden 
Russet color on light soils, darker on heavier 
land. _ Skins somewhat netted. Stands close 
planting. Disease resistant and a very 
heavy producer.
