CERTIFIED SEED POTATOES 
The term ‘‘Certified” as applied to Seed Potatoes implies that the crops while growing 
and after digging have been inspected by good authorities and have been found comparatively 
free from any disease. 
To pass inspection these crops must be vigorous to withstand the ravages of disease. This 
vigor gives to the seed the ability to produce big crops increasing the yield per acre 30 to 80 
bushels according to the variety. 
The increase yield more than pays for the seed even at the higher price of the certified 
seed. The crop raised from it is of better quality and sells at the highest price. 
We always try to have the best of everything and believe in handling Certified Seed Po- 
tatoes. We are giving our customers the best possible in seed potatoes. 
All orders should be in early. Increase your yield by planting Certified seed this year.
