Drieel€'s Russet 

THE BEST MAIN-CROP POTATO 
IBBLE’S Russet Potatoes are round to oblong, of good size, with pure white flesh, russet 
skin and few, shallow eyes. The quality is superb, and either baked or boiled Is not excelled 
by any other variety. Dibble’s Russet is enormously productive and has all the qualities 
that make for a profitable market Potato. The tubers are as large, or larger, than Rurals, Carman 
or Raleigh, and where those sorts set only four or five tubers to a hill, the Russet produces eight, 
ten, or even twelve big tubers. The vines are strong and disease-resistant. 
Dibble’s Russet Potato is the original round to oblong type of the Russet family. From its first 
introduction by us it has been bred absolutely true to type, and our stock seed is saved from fields 
entirely free from early or late blight, and where the vines were green and healthy until killed by 
frost. Our customers say that Dibble’s Russet carries these inbred qualities to every locality 
where they are planted, and ninety-nime out of every hundred growers say Dibble’s Russet is the 
best Potato grown. 
Dibble’s Russet is the Potato for you to grow on your farm. You will find it more profitable and 
far superior to any other variety for the main Potato crop. Whether you have “Potato soil’ or not, 
you will get a good yield if the soil is in good condition. Sand, gravel, loam, or clay will produce a 
satisfactory crop. Many customers say the vines are blight-proof, and spraying is not needed; 
neither do bugs like the foliage, for we have seen thousands of acres of Dibble’s Russet where 

for Dibble’s Russet.
