SEED POTATO EYES 
We have many calls for Seed Potato Eyes 
from customers who wish to try our new 
varieties, though hesitate to pay transportation 
on tubers to distant points. 
We offer Potato Eyes while stocks are avail- 
able. All will be freshly cut at time of ship- 
ment, and guaranteed to reach you in good 
condition. Name your preference—though we 
reserve right to substitute varieties. 
Not less than 100 eyes of a variety can be 
offered, and this amount should produce over 
a bushel of potatoes. 
Price: 100 for $1.00, 250 for $2.25, 500 
for $4.25, 1,000 for $8.00, prepaid. 
ys.0.a. CHIPPEWA 
Earlier than Katahdin or Green Mountain and 
is especially well adapted for the Northwest. 
Yields higher than most late varieties. 
Chippewa was compared in 1938 with Cobbler 
in 12 counties and exceeded Cobbler in yield of 
No. 1 potatoes in all but 2 tests. The average 
difference in yield was 39 bushels, Chippewa ma- 
tures a few days later than Cobbler but yields a 
consistently higher percentage of No. 1 tubers. 
Since it matures ahead of other late varieties, 
it will be a most popular storage potato. Tubers 
are smooth, regular in outline, with very shallow 
eyes, excellent cookers and show high resistance 
to mild mosaic.

A Valuable Food for Diabetics and 
Those Not Permitted To Eat Starchy Foods 
The tubers can be eaten cooked, or served 
raw in salads. They contain carbohydrates 
in the form of inulin, instead of starch, 
and need not be cooked to bring out their 
food value. Recipe folder mailed free 
upon request. 
Easy To Grow 
Plant 3 feet apart in rows 3 feet apart. 
Cut tubers like potatoes. 
Girasol will thrive in any soil and re- 
sponds to liberal feeding, yielding boun- 
tifully. The foliage becomes so dense, 
that after two cultivations, weeds cannot 
survive. Girasol tubers are relished by 
livestock and poultry. 
The average yield is 10 to 15 tons of 
tubers per acre, with an equal amount of 
silage from the tops. Tubers can be 
left in the ground until the _ following 
spring, as they are not injured by freezing. 
PRICE: 5 lbs. $1.00, prepaid to third 
zone only.—Not prepaid, 10 lbs. 80c, 20 
lbs. $1.50, 50 Ibs. $3.25.
