RUSSET RURAL 
NEW YORKER 
In appearance, size and 
yield, the Russet Rural is 
yery similar to the White 
Rural New Yorker, the only 
difference is that the skin 
is slightly russet and 
tubers in shape are more 
flat and a trifle shorter. 
Some growers claim that 
the Russet has a little 
better quality than the 
White, and are more 
popular on some mar- 
kets. Prices, Wisconsin

WHITE RURAL NEW YORKER 
MOST POPULAR MAIN CROP POTATO IN NEARLY ALL SECTIONS. 
Rural New Yorker is by far the most popular main crop variety in cultivation today. Its out- 
standing characteristics are its beautiful smooth white skin, its inconspicuous eyes and its great 
yielding qualities. It does the best of any variety as a rule on clay soils and black soils and 
in fact it is the universal potato for all soils. It will probably stand more neglect and do better 
wen natanere ple conditions than any other variety. It is easily grown, a good keeper and always 
yields well.

SEBAGO 
New Late Blight Resistant Potato. 
A new potato introduced and released in 1987 by the United States 
Department of Agriculture at the Potato Breeding Station at Presque 
Tle, Maine, from a cross between Chippewa and Katahdin. During a 
period of about five years, prior to its introduction, it exhibited remark- 
ble resistance to late blight tuber rot caused by one of the most serious 
Potato: diseases, known as Phytophthora Infestans which was the disease 
that caused the crop famine in Ireland in 1845. From 1938 to 1941, 
the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture carried on extensive tests in : 
nine different Potato-producing counties. These years the blight was as : ;

cent tests also show that this variety is highly tolerant to Potato Hop- Bigs We ship when weather peruitta, 
perburn caused by the Potato Leaf Hopper. Its yielding ability is about the same as 
Russet Rural or Cobbler. Cooking tests show the variety to cook up white where 
under the same conditions standard varieties cooked black. 
The tubers are very similar to Chippewa—white, thin skinned, shallow-eyed, and 
oval to oblong in shape. Vines are large, definitely upright in growth habits. During 
hot weather it has a tendency to roll its leaves which cause it to resemble the Leaf 
Roll Disease. This, however, has no connection with the disease. In season it is defi- 
nitely a late potato. It sets its tubers several weeks earlier than Rurals, but the 
vines remain green just as long and sometimes longer. Because of its fine quality 
and thin skin, it is quite susceptible to Seab. Plants set heavy with tubers and there- 
fore it requires a fertile soil. Certified seed stock is very limited and we offer this 
in lots of not more than 100 pounds to a customer. Prices, Wisconsin Certified stock:
