Spaulding Rose Potatoes 
MAINE GROWN SEED POTATOES 
What "Certified" Means to Potato Growers 
The value of Aroostook-grown Seed Potatoes is unques¬ 
tionable. The Certification Department of the State of 
Marne plans to safeguard the interests of the seed-buy¬ 
ers Two field inspections are made during the growing 
season and one at digging-time. V/hile each carload is 
being graded an inspector visits several times. The maxi¬ 
mum size for certified seed has been changed from 14 
to 12 ounces. The Department believes that this size will 
more nearly meet your requirements. 
Irish Cobbler. An early, white-skinned variety, very short, 
thick and inclined to be shaped round. This Potato is 
yearly increasing in popularity for early markets. The

Vines are very stocky, vigorous, and not as liable to be 
affected with blight or suffer drought as most other 
varieties. The Irish Cobbler is considered Standard Po¬ 
tato for all markets.

table use at the earliest possible date. Sometimes called 
the "Six-weeks Potato."

white. Good yielder.

any soil. Potatoes ova!, smooth, white-skinned, and run
