Spaulding Rose Potatoes 
MAINE-GROWN SEED POTATOES 
“Certified” 
Chippewa. This outstanding new potato was developed 
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture with the ob- 
ject in view of having a potato with the ‘general 
features of the Cobbler, extra earliness, but with shal- 
low eyes, instead of the deep eyes of the Cobbler. Chip- 
pewa is resistant to disease, and in official tests from 
Maine to Florida it has yielded consistently higher than 
the Cobbler and Green Mountain. 
Irish Cobbler. An early, white-skinned variety, very short, 
thick and inclined to be shaped round. This Potato is 
yearly incerasing in popularity for early markets. The 
crop is ready about 10 days earlier than Early Rose. 
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 al! markets. 
Red Bliss or Bliss Triumph. Produces mature Potatoes for 
table use at the earliest possible date. Sometimes called 
the ‘’Six-weeks Potato.” 
Spaulding Rose. Medium early. Skin pale pink, flesh pure 
white. Good yielder. 
Green Mountain. Makes big crops everywhere on almost 
any soil. Potatoes oval, smooth, white-skinned, and run 
uniformly large in size. 
Katahdin. A newer variety. Oval-shaped—very smooth— 
shallow eyes. Matures a little before “Green Mountain.” 
Fine yielder. Vines dark green—thick, heavy foliage. 
No. 2 Potatoes from Certified Seed. We can supply Maine 
grown No. 2 Potatoes from Certified Seed for a little 
lower price than the Certified or Select Stock. The 
Seed Potatoes are smaller, but will cut to better ad- 
vantage and are more economica! for planting. Highly 
recommended for second planting in June and July. Our 
Potatoes are kept in cold storage and are just as solid 
end firm in July as in March.
