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. Vields 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. 
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.

smooth, of excellent quality; red skin.

POTATO CULTURE 
Universally liked; contribute important 
amounts of vitamins B, and C, and iron. 
Potatoes should be planted during April or early 
May. They will thrive in almost any fertile, well- 
drained, somewhat acid soil. Do not use lime. The 
soil should be plowed or deeply dug over and furrows 
six inches deep and 214 to 3 feet apart, should be 
made. A commercial fertilizer with high phosphorous 
and potash content should be thoroughly mixed with 
the soil at the bottom of the furrow (about 20 lbs. 
per 100 ft. row) and about 2 inches of unfertilized 
topsoil should be placed over it. 
Cut each Potato into 3 or more pieces with at least 
one good eye to the piece. Treat with Semesan-Bel 
and plant, about 10 inches apart, in the prepared 
furrows. Cover with 3 or 4 inches of soil. Cultivate 
constantly throughout the season. 
1 peck will plant about 125 foot row, 
10 bushels to the acre. 
A Few Potatces in Your Garden This Year 
MOCO Cag 
SWEET POTATO PLANTS 
An excellent supply of vitamin A with a good 
supply of vitamin C. 
Prepare the soil about May 15 by plowing or dig- 
ging deeply and make a furrow about 4 inches deep. 
Spread a commercial fertilizer (with a high potash 
content) in the furrow, using about 10 lbs. to each 
100 feet, and thoroughly mix it with the soil. Refill 
the furrow with unfertilized soil and build up a ridge 
3 or 4 inches high. After the weather has become 
settled in June set the plants 15 inches apart on this 
ridge. llow 30 inches between rows. About July I, 
another application of fertilizer (about 10 lbs. to 100 
feet) alongside the. row will be very beneficial. 
Nansemond. The best variety for New England

PUMPKINS 
Sow the seed from May 15 to July 15 in hills that 
are spaced 5 feet apart each way. Allow from 5 to 6 
seeds per hill and cover with not over one inch of 
soil. When the plants are large enough to handle 
discard all but 2 plants in each hill. Prepare the soil 
by thoroughly spading in about two shovelfuls of 
well-rotted manure to each hill. 
1 ounce of seed will plant 30 hills

RHUBARB 
The seed may be sown from April 20 to May 15 in 
rows one foot apart. Cover the seed with 4 inch of 
soil. When the plants are from 2 to 3 inches high they 
may be transplanted or thinned to stand a foot apart. 
The following Spring transplant to their permanent 
locations. The soil should be heavily manured and 
deeply spaded. It cannot be too rich for Rhubarb. 
Set the plants about 3 feet apart each way. 
1 ounce of seed will sow 100 feet 
6745 Victoria. The most popular variety in 
this section. Vigorous growing; very pro- 
ductive. Pkt. 10c., oz. 45c., 44 lb. $1.25. 
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.
