RUSSET POTATOES 
TN 1912, when we introduced this variety, we had only 1000 
barrels to sell. The third year we sold over 11,000 barrels. 
Never before did a new variety make a name for itself so quickly. 
Dibble s Russet is the best main-crop Potato for western New 
York, and is grown extensively in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, 
Maine, and other Potato-producing states. It 
outyields other sorts two to one, and crops of 
300 to 400 bushels an acre are not uncommon. 
Customers write us that the “Russet gives splen¬ 
did yields when other kinds fail.” During the 
long drought years of 1934 and 1936 the Potato 
crop in many sections was almost a complete 
failure, yet under those hard conditions Dibble’s 
Russet produced satisfactory crops—in fact, 
right here in western New York, where there was 
no rain for weeks, a yield of about 400 bushels 
an acre was reported. 
Last spring I purchased some Certified Dibble’s Russet Potatoes 
from you; they grew fine. I was so well pleased with them that I 
took a peck to the Hopkinton Fair today, for which I received first 
prize.— Byron K. Symonds, Contoocook, N. H., September 20, 1938. 
. ^ w iH probably interest you to know that my previous experience 
with your Russet Potatoes is responsible for my interest in your seed. 
They are the World’s Best Potatoes.— George Hudson, Pine City, 
N. Y., January 21, 1935. 
I want to tell you about the Dibble’s Russet Potatoes that I 
bought of you last year. They sure were fine and at last I have 
found a Potato that suits me.— John J. Hawkins, Nashville, Ind., 
May 1, 1938. 
We think your Dibble’s Russet Potatoes the “Perfect Potato.”— 
Mrs. George Bovey, Ravena, N. Y., February 1, 1937. 
I am especially interested in 
your Russets. Have planted no 
other late variety for several 
years and find them very satis¬ 
factory.—D. E. Slonecker, 
R. 1, Bellefontaine, Ohio.
