"BEST FIVE" 
As a result of competitive tests for a period of 
years on our own farms and on the farms of our 
growers, we have found that today there are just 
five varieties of early Potatoes that are worth 
growing in our territory. 
These are listed below in order of maturing 
EARLY VARIETIES OF POTATOES 
ADAPTED TO THE NORTHERN 
AND EASTERN STATES 
DIBBLE’S SPAULDING ROSE 
A seedling of the old Early Rose, producing a much better 
yield of larger tubers. Skin is pink, with white flesh of good 
eating quality. A most desirable medium-early Potato for 
sandy loam soils. 
DIBBLE’S WARBA 
A seedling of Bliss Triumph from the Minnesota Experi¬ 
ment Station, with smooth white skin and pink eye. Earlier 
than the Cobbler, a heavy yielder, and immune to mosaic 
disease. It outyielded the Cobbler by 100 bushels per acre. 
If your soil is not heavy, we suggest trying a few Warbas 
for early market. 
DIBBLE’S EARLY OHIO 
For first early there is nothing to compare with the Early 
Ohio. It is round to oblong, with pink skin, white flesh of 
excellent quality, and extra early. Our pedigree stock was 
grown from North Dakota Certified Seed. 
DIBBLE’S IRISH COBBLER 
The best extra-early white Potato. Tubers are smooth, 
round, plump, creamy white; eyes well developed. The 
white flesh is of excellent quality. 
A week to ten days later than Early Ohio, but usually 
more productive, with tubers of good eating quality while 
the vines are still green. The “best” early for all-round cul¬ 
ture, as it will give excellent results on any soil. The fields 
from which we saved stock seed averaged 325 to 625 bushels 
per acre. 
DIBBLE’S CHIPPEWA 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and is 
seven to ten days later than Irish Cobblers. It sets tubers 
early and they develop fast. Immune to mild mosaic and 
superior to the Cobbler in smoothness and whiteness. In 
yield tests covering the past 5 years, it has outyielded the best 
strains of Cobblers on both muck and upland soils.

The Russet Potatoes we have here came from you originally 
and it will interest you to know that last year, on a 20-acre 
field we had an average of 585 bushels per acre, by weight. The 
digging was under the supervision of our County Agent, who 
had advised very thorough spraying during the summer. We 
have always had good results from the seed bought from you.— 
Charles F. Johnson, Supt. Luzerne Co. Industrial School for 
Boys, Kis-Lyn, Pa., May 6, 1939. 
We purchased two barrels of your first year’s shipment of 
Russets about twenty-five years ago and have never been with¬ 
out your seed since then.— Archie Cleveland, Round Lake, 
N. Y., April 3, 1939.
