New Early Red Warba. 
NEW EARLY RED WARBA 
Earliest of all potatoes. 
The Red Warba was developed by Dr. Krantz 
of the University of Minnesota and was intro- 
duced in 1937. It is identical except in color 
to the Pink-Eyed Warba released a few years 
earlier. We believe it one of the finest new 
early varieties offered today and we regret that 
we have just a limited amount of certified stock. 
Growers who have certified seed are so pleased 
with the results that they are keeping their stocks 
for increase. We are, therefore, also listing U.S. 
No. 1 grown from certified seed this season. 
Red Warba is the earliest variety grown in 
America, It matures ten days earlier than 
Triumph and Ohio and two weeks earlier than 
Cobbler, It has a vigorous sprout which has a 
tendency to emerge quickly through the soil 
after planting. The plants are stocky and rug- 
ged and they produce a heavy set of tubers. 
The eyes, while deep, are not noticeable, which 
was the big objection to the pink-eyed Warba. 
Some of the potatoes have a cream _ colored 
marbling on the deep red tubers which seems 
to be an advantage rather than an objection. 
Cooking tests over a period of four years at the 
Wisconsin College of Agriculture of tubers taken 
from nine separate potato producing areas proved 
that it had a definite tendency to cook white 
and mealy,. Very little hollow heart was found 
in this variety. This variety is also definitely 
resistant to mild mosaic under field conditions, 
a disease that seems to be susceptible to most 
early varieties. It keeps and stores better than 
any of the other early varieties. As an early 
market variety, it has no equal.

Early Irish Cobblers, 
EARLY IRISH COBBLERS 
Early Irish Cobblers seem to continue to increase in popularity. Peo- 
ple like a white potato. It is famous now the country over. At first 
it was largely grown for the early market by the truckers of New 
Jersey and Virginia and other Atlantic coast states: From there its 
popularity has extended throughout the whole of the United States and 
it is a standard, well known variety now nearly everywhere. 
It is a pure white potato, nearly round in shape with eyes rather 
more pronounced than in the Early Ohio. It usually outyields Early 
Ohio although not quite as early. 
The potatoes are very attractive looking and of most excellent quality, 
rather ahead of all other earlies in that respect, always cooking up 
dry and mealy. This variety will please anyone who wants a few earlies 
for home use as well as the large grower and the market gardener.

Most popular home garden potato. 
The well-known, dependable, all-around, early 
variety. 
Early Ohio has long been the most popular 
early potato in the country. Its earliness, 
smoothness and shallow eyes are its  out- 
standing features. Everyone knows what it is, 
and knows that it can be relied on for an early 
market variety in almost every locality.

NEW BLIGHT RESISTANT SEBAGO 
introduced and released in 1937 by the United 
Agriculture at the Potato Breeding Station at 
Dur- 
A new late potato 
States Department of 
Presque Ile, Maine, from a cross between Chippewa and Katahdin. 
-ing a period of about five years, prior to its introduction, it exhibited 
remarkable 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 College of Agriculture carried on 
extensive tests in nine different Potato-producing counties, These years 
the blight was unusually severe, but Sebago showed only 5% Blight 
Tuber Rot whereas the other standard sorts showed as high as 75 to 
85% tuber rot. Recent tests also show that this* variety is highly 
tolerant to Potato Hopperburn caused by the Potato Leaf Hopper. Wis- 
consin College of Agriculture Potato Specialists have found the Sebago 
is definitely resistant to the Yellow Dwarf disease which often causes 
heavy losses in the sandy soil regions of Wisconsin, Michigan and Min- 
nesota. 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 definitely 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 Scab. Plants set heavy 
with tubers and therefore it requires a fertile soil. Certified seed stock 
is very limited. Prices, Wisconsin Certified stock: 4% pk., 55c; pk., 95c;
