tato that is so popular in 
some sections it has super- 
seded all other main crop

in all soils and in all locali- 
ties, making heavy, healthy 
vines and yielding big crops

lrish Cobblers 
An early, white-skinned variety, very short, thick, inclining 
to round. This is yearly increasing in popularity for the early 
market. Ready for market about ten days earlier than the 
Karly Rose; tubers are uniformly larger and in average pro- 
duction of Jarge crops it is not equaled by any of the extra 
early varieties, nor greatly surpassed in yield by any of the 
main crop varieties. The vine is very stocky and vigorous, not 
as liable to be affected with blight or to suffer by drought as 
most others. A dependable early variety. Maine Certified Seed,

Katahdin 
The Long Keeping Potato. 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and 
promising to become the outstanding late Potato for market or 
storage. It was originated in Maine, by double crossing un- 
named seedlings of Rural New Yorker No. 2 and Aroostook 
Wonder parentage. It was bred for disease resistance, quality 
and yield, During the eight years it was under observation, it 
has been entirely free from mild mosiac. In yields it has con- 
atantly surpassed Rural New Yorker or Green Mountain. The 
tubers are smooth, short, elliptical to roundish, and have few, 
very small eyes. The crisp white flesh has a distinct desirable 
cooking quality which appeals to the housewife. Maine Cer- 
tified Seed, 100 Ibs., $5.00; 60 Ibs., $3.25; 30 Ibs., $1.75; 
15 |be., 95e. 
Sebago 
Sebagoes stand up well in transit. It is a firm fleshed 
variety and little shrink may be expected in the bin. It is 
true as with all varieties some faults may be found with the 
Sebago. It is a late maturing variety and the tubers are 
similar to the Chippewa. Sebago is recommended where a 
late, smooth, round variety with shallow eyes, resistant to 
late blight is desired. In many states it has outyielded the 
Green Mountain and Spaulding Rose, and it is the opinion of 
many growers that the faults of Sebago are outweighed by 
its many good points, It is resistant to blight, scab, mosaic 
and does not bruise easily.
