I N 1912, when we introduced this variety, we had only 1000 
barrels to sell. The third year we sold over 1,1,000 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 splendid 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. 
We want the Dibble’s Russets as they are the best Potatoes that we can grow. We 
have bought seeds of you for years.— Edson Gregory, Mongaup House, Ferndale, 
N. Y., May 1, 1939. 
I want to get the Dibble’s Russets again as they are all you claim for them.— 
R. W. Underwood, R. D. 2, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, May 16. 1939.
