Hoffman’s 
Heavy-Yielding, Disease-Free Seed 
"NITTANY" (Early) 
(Certified) 
Developed from the "Irish Cob¬ 
bler" strain. By a very careful in- 
breeding, selfing program. 
This early "Nittany" closely re¬ 
sembles the "Cobbler" in leaves and 
stem. Leaves are a little broader 
and slightly smoother. Broad, 
smooth leaves indicate high-yield¬ 
ing ability. 
Earlier than the "Cobbler” by a 
week to ten days. May appear to 
have about the same maturity . . . 
stems and leaves may die about the 
same time—but the "Nittany" sets 
earlier. Therefore you can dig them 
earlier, and get the same or higher 
yield than the "Cobbler" at full ma¬ 
turity. 
"Nittany” is more resistant t6 
Mosaic and Leaf-roll. The set of the 
"Nittany" is always good. The tuber 
is white and quite smooth. More 
shallow eye, less waste in paring. 
Its shape is a little longer and more 
flat than the "Cobbler." Finest 
cooking quality. 
YIELD: This fine potato yielded 
20 per cent greater on the average, 
over a 6-year period, covering 20 
counties—in tests against the "Cob¬ 
bler." Yields of 450 bushels have 
been common on fields of 40 to 50 
acres. 
Be the first to have this great 
potato. It will mean more dollars 
in the bank for you! Splendid- 
quality seed from painstaking grow¬ 
ers in northern Pennsylvania. It 
will serve you very well.
