BRECK’S POTATOES 
Growers cannot be too careful of the seed stock that they use for planting. Much loss of time 
and effort and crops of only mediocre yield and quality result from the use of poor seed stocks secured 
from unreliable sources. All varieties listed below are grown in Aroostook County, Maine. The starred 
varieties have been certified as ‘‘Seed Stock,”’ true to name and type and practically free from disease. 
These have been sorted and inspected under the supervision of the State of Maine Department of 
Agriculture and the original two-bushel bags bear the blue tag of certification. 
Early Varieties 
*Irish Cobbler (Certified Stock). A fine and 
always reliable early variety, producing large, 
handsome and quite round tubers, surprisingly 
uniform in size and shape. The skin is very 
light brown, the flesh white, and the quality 
is excellent. A distinct and heavy cropper. 
Chippewau. A splendid new early variety that 
follows Irish Cobbler in maturity. Yields a 
heavy crop of tubers flatter and more oval 
than Green Mountain with shallow eyes and 
smooth, clean white skin. Top quality. 
Early Rose. Standard early variety. Red skin. 
An old favorite in New England.

Gentlemen: 
Last spring you sent me half a bushel of 
Early Rose and half a bushel of Chippewau 
Potatoes and I thought you might be inter- 
ested to know that from the Early Rose I 
raised thirty-two bushels of very large hand- 
some Potatoes and from the Chippewaus 
twenty-five bushels of large Potatoes. They 
were planted side by side and had the very 
best of care. There was only one bushel of 
small ones in the whole lot. 
It was certainly a handsome sight to see 
those Early Rose Potatoes spread out on 
the ground. 
Very truly yours, 
(Signed) E. C. Davis. 



Late Varieties 
*Green Mountain (Certified Stock). There is 
no finer Potato than this one. Its popularity 
is universal. Does well on all soils and loca- 
tions, making strong, healthy vines and pro- 
ducing big crops of large, handsome, white- 
skinned tubers of flattish, oval form. Superb 
quality and a grand keeper. 
Rural Russet. A selection of the well known 
Dibble’s Russet. Strong, deep-rooted vine. 
Plants resist blight and drought. Tubers ex- 
cellent keepers of unsurpassed quality. 
Katahdin. A recently-introduced, late or 
main crop Potato, which matures after Green 
Mountain. It is medium-sized with shallow 
eyes, white skin, and handsome appearance. 
Keeps well and is of superior quality. 
Spaulding Rose. Late. Potatoes large, smooth, 
of excellent quality; red skin. 
QUICK, EASY TREATMENT FOR 
POTATOES 
A Semesan-Bel dip for Potatoes before 
planting will protect them from scab and 
other diseases. Healthy plants will give a 
much higher yield of clean Potatoes. The 
treatment is simple and inexpensive and 
the resulting benefit great. See page 110 
for additional information. 
A 2-oz. pkg. (sufficient to treat 6 bushels 
of Potatoes) costs only 30c.

tilizer for Potatoes. It insures a heavy and 
uniform crop to fertilize with A. A., 4-8-10, 
the fertilizer made especially for this im- 
portant crop. Per 100 lbs. $3.00

Rhubarb Roots 
The simplest and easiest way to establish a 
Rhubarb planting is by setting out roots rather 
than seeds. Cutting may be started a year earlier 
and you can be sure of the finest type of stalks 
from the large, strong roots that we offer. A 
half dozen plants, when established, will give a 
small family an abundant supply.
