“I was very much _ pleased 
with the Nittany potatoes. I 
found they stood the blight 
better than the Cobblers. I 
have been growing Cobblers 
for early potatoes. The Nit- 
tanys yielded a little better 
than the Cobblers and were a 
little smoother.” — Clarence 
H. Detwiler, Woodbury, Pa. 
“The Sweet Clover I bought 
from you made a very good 
stand. It crowded the wheat 
at some places. We mowed it 
all for hay in the fall and it 
made good hay.”—Howard L. 
Sheffer, Seven Valleys, Pa. 
A WEED THAT WARNS 
Red _ sorrel, a common 
weed, may well be called 
the farmer’s friend. It is 
nature’s red flag, to warn 
the farmer that something 
is wrong with his soil. 
Where this weed persists, 
the land needs lime, fer- 
tilizer or drainage. Testing 
the soil is the right answer 
when sorrel shows up, and 
then applying the right 
remedy to put it into right 
shape again. 
Hoffman’s Funk ‘“G” Hy- 
brids have the breeding 
back of them that makes 
for “a good ear on every 
stalk.”” Amazing how few 
nubbins are found. Barren 
stalks are mighty scarce. 
Ears fill well. Grains aver- 
age good size. Good length 
kernel. It’s the ability of 
these ““G”? Hybrids to make 
so many heavy well-filled 
ears that causes their rec- 
ord yields over such wide 
areas. 
“NITTANY” (EARLY) (Certified) 
Few potatoes possess all the fine qualities of this ‘‘Nittany.”’ It’s 
a week to ten days earlier than the “Cobbler.’’ Has yielded 
up to 450 bushels per acre. Made 20%, greater yields than 
the “Cobbler” in one six-year test period. Quite resistant to 
Mosaic and Leaf-roll. And though maturity may appear about 
the same time, “Nittany” can actually be dug earlier. The nice 
white tubers are of finest cooking quality. Our seed is splendid 
stock direct from Pennsylvania growers. A great strain. 
“KATAHDIN’’ (Certified ) 
It has already gained many friends. Here is a newer variety. 
Is being recommended by more folks each year. Nearly all its 
tubers—oval-shaped, very smooth, and with shallow eyes—are 
of market size, with few number twos. A fine yielder, it ma- 
tures slightly earlier than “Green Mountain.’ The vines are 
very dark green, bear thick, heavy foliage, similar to “Cobbler.” 
If you decide on this variety this year, be sure and order at once. 
“SEMESAN BEL”—FOR MORE POTATOES 
No longer is it necessary for you to expose your potato crop 
to the risk of disease or reduced yield through weakened plants. 
Dip-treatment of your seed with improved SEMESAN BEL 
offers you a safe and sane method of control. Effective protec- 
tion against Rhizoctonia, scab, and other surface seed-borne 
diseases. Prevents disease from rotting seed and sprouts, weak- 
ening plants, reducing the quality and yield of your crop. 
Results are so amazing that it’s hard to believe until you try 
SEMESAN BEL yourself. Quick and easy to use. Simply make 
up a solution, quick-dip seed, and plant. Practical applications 
show you can expect an average increase of about 10 per cent 
over a period of years. Yet cost is insignificant, about 2 to 3 
cents per bushel. One pound treats 60 bushels of seed. 
Why gamble your potato profits against disease? Insure full 
improved yields by treating all] your seed, including certified.
