allovUl' Seed Potatoes 
Everyone knows the importance of using seed potatoes that are free 
from the diseases that are transmitted by the seed. Diseases such as 
mosaic, leaf roll, wilt, etc., may not be very apparent but they reduce the 
yield to a marked degree. The only way to raise potatoes at a profit is to 
plant seed free from these diseases. It will pay you well to discard your 
old seed and plant only clean seed. 
We offer U. S. No. 1 potatoes grown from clean high yielding stock seed. 
CHIPPEWA—New Early 
We think this is one of the best potatoes grown and it has become very 
popular in the last few years because of t he high yield of fine No. 1 potatoes 
which command a premium in markets wherever sold. It is only a few 
days later than Cobbler and has exceeded that variety in the production 
of No. 1 stock. 
The tubers are attractive, being white, slightly flattened and with shal¬ 
low eyes. They are remarkably uniform for size. This new variety is well 
worth your trying. 
N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No. 1. Peck $1.00; Bu. $3.00; Sack of 
2 Bu. $5.75. Purchaser pays transportation. 
Golden Rural Potatoes 
WARBA— New Extra Early 
This new potato which was introduced by the Minnesota Experiment 
Station is 10 days earlier than Irish Cobbler and a week earlier than 
Triumph. Comparative tests have shown the yield also to be better 
than the Cobbler. The vines are sturdy, upright and remarkably resistant 
to disease, especially mosaic. 
The handsome, and distinctive tubers are round and blocky with a 
smooth white skin and a light pink eye. They resemble Cobbler except 
for the pink eye. The flesh is white and of excellent quality. 
This new variety has become a leading early kind both for home use 
and market. 
U. S. No. 1. Peck 75c; Bu. $2.35; Sack of 2 Bu. $4.50. Purchaser pays 
transportation. 
IRISH COBBLER 
This is the most popular early potato and still considered one of the 
best in this class. It yields better than any other kind (except Warba) 
that is equally early. The potatoes are round, white, have rather deep 
eyes, of fine quality and very early. The seed we offer is true to name.

$5.25. Purchaser pays transportation. 
KATAHDIN —Outstanding New Main Cropper 
This new potato is fast becoming established as a standard late or main 
crop variety, maturing a little later than Green Mountain but before the 
Bural Russet. 
The tubers are white skinned, handsome in appearance, and have 
shallow eyes. This variety has been outstanding in the large percentage 
of good marketable potatoes it produces. Does best on light upland soil 
or muck land. 
N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No. 1. Peck $1.00; Bu. $3.00; Sack of 
2 Bu. $5.75. Purchaser pays transportation. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN—Grow for Fine Quality 
If you want nice mealy white potatoes of the finest quality raise Green 
Mountains. They are far superior to most of the kinds usually raised. 
The tubers are round, slightly flattened, and have few shallow eyes. The 
skin is white with the slight netting which usually goes with fine quality. 
This is a medium early variety and yields heavy crops on soil suited to 
it. It does best on rather light or gravelly soil and in the northern locali¬ 
ties although it is largely grown and produces great crops on Long Island. 
An excellent kind for New York and all of New England. 
N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No. 1. Peck $1.00; Bu. $3.00; Sack of 
2 Bu. $5.75. Purchaser pays transportation 
GOLDEN RURAL or RURAL RUSSET 
Heaviest Yielding Kind 
We are convinced that this variety will produce larger crops than any 
other kind where conditions of soil and climate suit it, as they do here 
and in a large section of country in the northern states. 
The vines are strong, vigorous and healthy with dark green leaves and 
thick purple stems. They do not usually blight. The potatoes are round, 
flattened, quite shallow and the slightly russet skin is very rarely affected 
with scab. The flesh is pure white, very firm and of fine quality. Each 
hill usually has 7 to 9 good sized potatoes.

SMOOTH RURALS 
Also called Heavy Weight or No. 9 
This potato has steadily won a place for itself each year near the top of 
the list for yield in New York State. There are very few kinds equal to it 
in this respect. 
The potatoes are round to oblong, have fairly numerous medium shal¬ 
low eyes, purple sprouts, and a smooth white skin. The vines are rather 
stocky, very vigorous and resistant to disease. This is one of the best 
kinds for the late or main crop.
