WHITE POTATOES - 

DIBBLE’S Standard FOR 
The first five varieties are of the well-known 
Carman or smooth Rural family, the best-known type 
of market Potato now in cultivation 
RURAL NEW YORKER No. 2 
The first of the late Mr. Carman’s introductions that 
proved to be of great value. The Rural New Yorker No. 2 
is a late variety, growing vines dark green in color, upright in 
habit of growth, with purple blossoms. The tubers are round 
to oblong, unusually large in size, white in color, eyes near the 
surface, and it sets, as a rule, only two to four tubers per 
plant or hill, but usually all large ones. 
CARMAN No. 3 
Also originated by Mr. Carman and introduced by him 
several years later, as an improvement over the No. 2, which 
it resembles in every respect, except that it sets more heavily 
in the hill, averaging, with us, three to five tubers per hill 
and mostly merchantable. 
SIR WALTER RALEIGH 
The last of the Carman creations and introduced b 
Peter Henderson & Co. some thirty years ago. The Sir Walter 
Raleigh is similar to the other two but has, in our opinion, the 
most desirable quality of setting more tubers per hill and 
smaller in size, no large or overgrown tubers at all, but of 
desirable size and shape to command the top price in the 
best markets. 
HEAVYWEIGHT 
_ A selection of the smooth Rural type with characteristics 
similar to Sir Walter Raleigh, except that tubers are inclined 
more to the round form. 
PIONEER RURAL 
The Pioneer Rural was originated by Fred S. Hollenback 
of Tully, N. Y., and is a sport of the Russet. It combines the 
yield and drought-resistance of the Russet with the white 
color and sales value of the well-known Carman or other 
smooth Rurals. You should try a few of this variety. We 
believe they will outyield any smooth Rural you have ever 
grown. gab eR

MAIN CROP

Katahdin 
KATAHDIN 
The Katahdin was originated from a seed-ball by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture at its experimental station at Presque 
Isle, Maine. 
After it had proved its worth as a new variety, it was released 
to the public. It is a handsome shallow-eyed, glossy, white- 
skinned variety which matures a little later than Green Moun- 
tain, but earlier than the Rurals. It has very few tubers of 
unmarketable size and has all varieties beaten in uniformity of 
shape, size, and in general appearance. It does well on light, 
friable soil, but is not adapted to heavy soil subject to drought 
conditions. 
If you have never raised Katahdin try at least one sack. 
Many growers have changed entirely to this variety after 
trying a few. 
SEBAGO 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A high- 
yielding variety somewhat later than the Rurals. Smooth, 
white, shallow-eyed tubers thicker than Chippewa and of high 
table quality. Large, vigorous foliage resistant to heat and 
drought, also resistant to blight, yellow dwarf and scab. Espe- 
cially desirable where blight occurs frequently or where spraying 
is omitted. Try a few of this new proved variety. 
- DIBBLE'S IMPROVED GREEN MOUNTAIN 
In the Improved Green Mountain we have a better Potato 
than was the old Green Mountain at its best, a score of years 
ago. The tubers are uniform in shape, oblong, with two good 
ends, slightly flattened; creamy white skin absolutely free from 
disease in any form, and with pure white flesh of excellent 
quality. They are particularly well adapted to northern [ati- 
tudes where the rainfall is abundant and the temperature Is not 
excessively high. As a rule, they do not succeed as well in locali- 
ties where they are subjected to unfavorable conditions of growth 
during the time they are forming tubers, as do the members of 
the Rural group.
