DIBBLE'S RUSSET POTATO, A FIELD ON OUR OWN FARMS 
Notice the magnificent foliage in the picture above. We have found 
the Russet the most disease-resistant of any variety, and over a 
hundred of our customers have written us that Dibble’s Russet was 
blight-proof while other varieties were blighted and died in the same or 
adjoining fields.

DIBBLE’S 
RUSSET POTATOES 
We had a wonderful crop of 
Potatoes from your Russet 
seed.— Fred M. Ackert, Os¬ 
ceola, Pa., January 26, 1937, 
I have raised your Russet Potatoes and think they can¬ 
not be beat in the long run.— Chester Keeler, Sharon, 
Conn., March 12, 1936. 
D IBBLE S Russet Potatoes are round to oblong, of 
good size, with pure white flesh, russet skin and few, 
shallow, eyes. The quality is superb, and either baked or 
boiled is not excelled by any other variety. Dibble’s 
Russet is enormously productive and has all the qualities 
that make for a profitable market Potato. The tubers are 
as large, or larger, than Rurals, Carman or Raleigh, and 
where those sorts set only four or five tubers to a hill, the 
Russet produces eight, ten, or even twelve big tubers. 
The vines are strong and disease-resistant. 
Dibble’s Russet Potato is the original round to oblong 
type of the Russet family. From its first introduction by 
us it has been bred absolutely true to type, and our stock 
seed is saved from fields entirely free from early or late 
blight, and where the vines were green and healthy until 
killed by frost. Our customers say that Dibble’s Russet 
carries these inbred qualities to every locality where they 
are planted, and ninety-nine out of every hundred growers 
say Dibble’s Russet is the best Potato grown. 
Dibble’s Russet is the Potato for you to grow on your 
farm, h ou will find it more profitable and far superior to 
any other variety for the main Potato crop. Whether you 
have Potato soif or not, you will get a good yield if the 
soil is in good condition. Sand, gravel, loam, or clay will 
produce a satisfactory crop. Many customers say the 
vines are blight-proof, and spraying is not needed; neither 
do bugs like the foliage, for we have seen thousands of 
acres of Dibble’s Russet where neither Paris green nor 
arsenate of lead was used, and the vines were perfect. 
If you say you “can’t grow Potatoes,” get a sack of 
Dibble s Russet this year. Give them a careful trial. We 
feel sure you will be satisfied, and next season you will be 
an enthusiastic booster for Dibble’s Russet. 
We had 8 bushels of seed two years ago and got 200 bushels of 
George W - Hicks, R. D. 3, Spartansburg, Pa., April 
Four years ago I planted one bushel of your Russet Po¬ 
tatoes and we dug 51 bushels of weighed Potatoes, 60 lbs. 
per bushel. I sure can recommend your seed Potatoes.— 
Wm. Miller, Cochecton, N. Y., May 4, 1936.
