SEED POTATOES 
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND CERTIFIED IRISH 
COBBLERS: This seed was grown on Prince Edward 
Island, Canada. Weather and soil conditions there 
are ideal for the production of Cobbler potatoes. 
Prince Edward Island seed of this variety is much 
more vigorous and produces a larger yield than seed 
grown farther south. 
The tubers are clean, very smooth and of a uni¬ 
form size. This stock is inspected and certified by 
the Canadian Government. 
We have handled Prince Edward Island Cobblers 
for a number of years and have had growers report 
crops yielding as high as 300 bushels per acre. 1 peck 
by Parcel Post $1.25, Prepaid. 1 to 5 bus. $2.50 
per bu.; 5 bu. or more $2.40 per bu., Not prepaid. 
IRISH COBBLER: High quality and earliness still 
makes this old variety one of the most popular. The 
medium-sized round, deep eyed tuber when cooked 
has a texture and flavor that is hard to beat. 
Our seed was grown from Prince Edward Island 
foundation stock seed and entered for certification. 
The field inspection report shows that the seed meets 
all of the requirements for certification except varietal 
mixture. In some way, a few Green Mountain tubers 
had been mixed in. When we dug the crop, the Green 
Mountain vines were still green and they were dug 
separately and discarded. We believe this Irish 
Gobbler seed will produce a very satisfactory crop. 
1 to 5 bu. $1.40 per bu.; 5 to 100 bu. $1.30 per 
bu.; 100 bu. or more $1.25 per bu., Not prepaid. 
CHIPPEWA: A new white variety originated by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. A week later than 
Irish Cobbler but it is smoother in shape and it yields 
better. Grown from certified seed and free from 
disease. 1 peck by Parcel Post $1.10, Prepaid; 
1 to 5 bus. $1.65 per bu.; 5 bu. or more $1.50 
per bu.. Not prepaid. 
SEMESAN BEL 
New Improved. For seed potatoes. One pound 
of the New Improved Semesan Bel will treat 50 to 60 
bushels of cut potatoes. It possesses great disease 
control properties especially in respect to control of 
Rhizoctonia and seed-born Scab. The "Instantaneous 
dip" method saves time and labor. Semesan Bel does 
not harm the seed pieces. 4 ozs. 45 cts.; 1 lb. $1.50,

3|cCERTIFIED ROBSON SEEDLING: A number of 
years ago we originated this variety from seed taken 
from a potato blossom seedball. In test plots carried 
on by the New York State College of Agriculture, 
Robson Seedling has proved to be one of the heaviest 
yielding varieties and very resistant to scab. On ac¬ 
count of its desirability and the very enthusiastic re¬ 
ports from our customers, we feel that we can strong¬ 
ly recommend this strain above all others that we 
have te.stcd for home garden or field production 
where Rural type varieties are grown. 
The Robson Seedling is of the Rural type, medium 
late, excellent shape for baking and will hold firm 
much later in the spring than most other varieties. 
1 to 5 bu $1.60 per bu.; 5 to 100 bu. $1.50 per bu.; 
100 to 500 bu. $1.45 per bu.. Not prepaid. 
RURAL RUSSET: Good quality late potato that 
seems to do well on the heavier types of soil. The 
tuber is oval, flattened in shape and covered with a 
net-like russetting. 1 to 5 bu. $1.50 per bu.; 
5 to 100 bu. $1.40 per bu.; 100 to 500 bu. $1.35 
per bu.. Not prepaid. 
PASTURE MIXTURES 
1940 CORNELL PASTURE MIXTURE: This mix¬ 
ture is intended for use on good land which has been 
adequately fertilized, and under conditions which 
will permit good grazing management practices to 
be adopted. It should be seeded in April or May 
without a nurse crop. Full information concerning 
methods of fertilizing, seeding and grazing manage¬ 
ment will be found in Cornell University Extension 
Bulletin No. 393 entitled "Pasture Improvement and 
Management" which is obtainable free of charge 
from the Office of Publications, Roberts Hall, Cor¬ 
nell University, Ithaca, New York. Cornell Pasture 
Mixture is made up as follows; Kentucky bluegrass 
^2%, Canada bluegrass 8%, Rough stalked meadow 
grass 4%, Perennial ryegrass 20%, Timothy 24%, 
Yellow trefoil 8%, Wild white clover 4%, The 
recommended seeding of Cornell Pasture Mixture is 
25 lbs. per acre. 5 to 25 lbs. 30 cts. per lb.; 25 to 
100 lbs. 26 cts. per lb.. Prepaid. 100 lbs. or over 
25 cts. per lb.. Not prepaid. 
1940 CORNELL GENERAL PURPOSE MIXTURE: 
I his mixture may be used under similar conditions 
as Cornell Pasture Mixture is used but it is adapted 
for a combination of hay and pasture, or pasture 
only. It may be used under somewhat drier condi¬ 
tions and may be seeded with a nurse crop if desired. 
Cornell General Purpose Mixture is made up as 
follows; Kentucky bluegrass 15%, Timothy 40%, 
Alfalfa 20%, Medium red clover 10%, Alsike 5%,

U only found your seeds produced vegetables of good 
quality, but are priced cheaper than I could buy from another 
S66u company at wholesale prices. 
I especially recommend Detroit Dark Red beets as they remained 
solid red even when 4 and 5 inches in diameter. Beets 
ot that size sell here in Kosher markets, being used for Borsch 
(beet soup); but they must be clear red and dark. I sold out last 
summer on beets I had previously considered too large and too old 
for market.”
