POTATOES 
New York State Certified Seed 
Everyone knows the importance of using seed potatoes that are free 
from the diseases that are transmitted by the seed. Diseases such as 
mosaic, leaf roll, wilt, etc., are not always very apparent but they reduce 
the yield to a marked degree. The only way to raise good crops of potatoes 
is to plant seed free from these diseases. We offer N. Y. State Certified 
U. S. No. 1 potatoes grown from clean high yielding stock seed, which 
will give much better results than ordinary seed potatoes. 
We prepay transportation charges on potatoes to places in the United 
States where quoted ‘transportation paid.’ On larger quantities where 
quoted “‘not paid,” purchaser pays transportation. 
Please write for prices on larger lots than are listed here. 
Ceiling Prices: Seed Potatoes for 1944 are subject to O.P.A. ceiling 
prices. All prices quoted below conform to, or are less than, the ceilings 
as established for spring shipments. 
SHIPPING SEASON 
Our potatoes are kept in storage until the first of April and we can- 
not ship before that time. We do not make any shipments until in our 
judgment danger of freezing is past. Potatoes may be ordered at any time 
and will be shipped as soon as ready. 
NOTE: A sack now contains 100 Ibs. A bushel weighs 60 lbs. We can 
send only one variety in a sack. 
Treat Potatoes with Semesan Bel 
Two ounces of the improved Semesan 
Bell will treat up to 7 bushels and one 
pound will treat 50 to 60 bushels of 
cut potatoes. It possesses great disease 
control properties especially in respect 
to Rhizoctonia and seed-born Scab. The 
“Instantaneous Dip’’ method of apply- 
ing saves time and labor. Does not harm 
the seed pieces. 

Irish Cobbler 
IRISH COBBLER 
The Leading Early Potato 
This is the most largely planted early potato and still considered one of 
the best in this class. It yields better than any other kind (except Warba) 
that is equally early. The potatoes are round, white, have rather deep 
eyes, of fine quality and very early. The seed we offer is true to name. 
N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No. 1. 15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.70 transportation 
paid. Not paid: Bu. $3.70; Sack of 100 Lbs. $5.15. 
CHIPPEWA 
Early, Fine Appearance 
This new potato is now recognized as the outstanding early variety and 
it has become very popular because of the high yield of fine No. 1 potatoes 
which command a premium in markets wherever sold. It is only a few 
days later than Cobbler and has exceeded that variety in the production 
of No. 1 stock. 
The tubers are attractive, being white, slightly flattened and with 
shallow eyes. They are remarkably uniform for size, and of fine quality. 
N. Y. State Certified, U.S. No. 1.15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.70 transportation 
paid. Not paid: Bu. $3.70; Sack of 100 Lbs. $5.15. 

“‘The one-half peck of Chippewa potato seed purchased of you last April 
1942 produced nearly 4 bushels of the largest, smoothest and finest eating 
potatoes I ever grew. Quite a number of the tubers weighed a pound and 
more each.” S. W. Ryder, RFD 2, Saugerties, N. Y. Feb. 9, 1943, 
“T’m really proud of the potatoes I got from you. They are in blossom, 
and everyone who sees them compliments me. It was fine seed.” 
Mrs. L. H. Gregory, Oneida, N. Y. July 1, 1943. 
2 Oz. 30c; 1 Lb. $1.65; 5 Lbs. $7.15. 
Purchaser pays transportation. See page 
86 for other Semesan products. 


Green Mountain 
GREEN MOUNTAIN 
Grow for Fine Quality 
If you want nice mealy white potatoes of the finest quality, raise Green 
Mountains. They are far superior to most of the kinds usually grown. 
The tubers are round, slightly flattened, and have few shallow eyes. The 
skin is white with the slight netting which usually goes with fine quality. 
This is a medium early variety and yields heavy crops on soil suited to 
it. It does best on rather light or gravelly soil and in the northern localities 
although it is largely grown and produces great crops on Long Island. 
An excellent kind for New York and all of New England. 
N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No.1. 15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.70 transportation 
paid. Not paid: Bu. $3.70; Sack of 100 Lbs. $5.15. 
SEBAGO 
New Heavy Yielding Main Cropper 
This new potato has won a leading place as an extremely productive 
late variety maturing shortly after Rural Russet. The tubers are white, 
handsome in appearance, shallow eyed and somewhat thicker in shape 
than Chippewa. The quality is very good. Vines are large and vigorous 
and have proved to be resistant to heat and drought, and also to have 
good disease resistance. 
Sebago is very widely adapted and does well under many conditions 
of soil and climate. It is a very heavy yielder that can be depended on to 
produce excellent crops of the finest potatoes. We recommend it highly. 
N.Y. State Certified, U.S. No.1. 15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.70 transportation 
paid. Not paid: Bu. $3.70; Sack of 100 Lbs. $5.15.
