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. You will find it 
more profitable and far superior to any other variety for the main Potato crop. 
Whether you have “Potato soil’’ 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. 
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. 
We had 8 bushels of seed two years ago and got 200 bushels of Potatoes.— George W. Hicks, R. D. 3, 
Spartansburg, Pa., April 14, 1938. 
We live on a small place and raise only a garden. We have planted Dibble’s Russets, as did my family 
before me. They are the best late Potatoes in my locality—heavy clay. We always get a crop to be proud 
of.— Edward 'Fhompson, Chaumont, N. Y., February 7, 1939. 
I planted your Russet Potatoes a few years ago and had the best crop of Potatoes I ever had. That 
year people around us all had their Potatoes blighted and could hardly believe it when they saw our crop. 
The blight did not touch them at all.— Wm. C. Bliss, R. D. 1, Southbridge, Mass., April 21, 1939. 
We had a bad growing season here last summer. Other Potatoes were a failure but the Russets came 
along fine in spite of bad growing conditions and we find them the most delicious Potatoes we ever have had. 
They are just what you claim them to be.—J. W. Appleton, Egypt, Mass., March 31, 1939.
