POTATOES—WNew York State Cortified 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. 
i 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 are subject to OPA ceiling prices. All 
prices quoted below conform to the ceilings for spring shipments. 
IRISH COBBLER, The Most Popular Early Potato for the East. 
is early variety produces round or blocky 
potatoes with a glossy white skin and rather deep eyes. The quality is 
very fine and it is still the leading all-purpose early potato. It does best 
on muck and lighter soils and gives very heavy yields when grown in 
cool moist situations. The seed we offer is true to name.

send only one variety in a sack. 

CHIPPEWA. Early, Heavy Yielding, Fine Appearance. Chippewa 
————____—____—_ is. a new variety which is rapidly becoming the leading 
early potato because of its wide adaptation, heavy yields and fine 
appearance. It matures a week or ten days later than Irish Cobbler but 
nearly always yields more and it succeeds under almost all conditions 
of soil and weather. The potatoes are very handsome with a smooth 
white skin, rather flattened shape and very shallow eyes. Remarkably 
uniform in size and produces a high percentage of large No. 1 potatoes 
which are very popular on the market. The firm white flesh is excellent 
boiled or steamed, and for salads and creamed potatoes.

They are far superior to most kinds and for baking, boiling or mashed potatoes, they are 
the best obtainable. The tubers are oblong, slightly flattened in shape with shallow eyes, 
and have a white skin with the slight netting that usually goes with fine quality. 
Green Mountain is excellent in New England and Northern New York, Long Island 
and at higher elevations in many states. It is best adapted to lighter soils and yields 
tremendous crops on land suited to it. It is a midseason type and is fine for winter 
storage. We recommend it highly.

SEBAGO. Resistant Late Type, Heavy Yielding. This new potato has won a lead- 
ing place as an extremely productive late variety maturing shortly after 
Rural Russet. The tubers are white, handsome in appearance, shallow eyed and some- 
what 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 Green Mountain 


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

Cultural Directions. 
For Grain drill in rows 24 to 30 inches 
apart and cultivate two or three times; or 
sow with a grain drill in 7-inch rows and 
drag over with a rotary hoe when the 
beans are about 5 inches high. It is impor- 
tant to kill the weeds when the plants are 
still young. For seed it is better to cut with 
a grain binder when the leaves fall making 
the bundles small, although some farmers 
use a mower with swather attached to 
cutting bar. 
Harvesting with the combine has been 
found a very satisfactory method of han- 
dling soy beans. The beans should be fully 
ripe and the leaves off the stalks for best 
results. Sow one bushel of seed per acre. 
For Hay or for Plowing Under. Use 
2 bushels of seed per acre in drills 7 inches 
apart. For hay, cut with a mower and 
handle like alfalfa. For green manure, plow 
Seneca Soy Beans down just as the pods begin to form. 

FOR SOY BEANS. Inoculation with Nitragin 
roelCnaina) Cogume inocuietor el | ACT eASES yields of soy beans up to 100%. It also 
helps build up the supply of nitrogen for future 
NITRAGIN crops. Always inoculate soy beans before planting.

SOY BEANS 
Grow Soy Beans for High Value Feed and to Enrich Your Land 
Soy Beans should always be included in your rotation.'They are valuable for stock feeding on account of the high 
protein content of the beans and plant, and since they are legumes, they actually improve the soil by adding nitrogen 
to it. This is true whether they are grown for feed, or plowed under as a cover crop. Soy bean hay is excellent and the 
demand for this grain is constantly increasing, so that soy beans are fast becoming a profitable farm crop. 
SENECA. Heavy Yielder. Best for Grain. This yellow seeded type 
is the best variety yet developed for producing grain in 
New York State. It was developed by the N. Y. State College of Agri- 
culture, and as a combination grain and forage variety it has great merit. 
The yellow seed is the type desired for most purposes and the yield of 
grain is greater than other kinds in this section. Seneca is about a week 
later than Cayuga but can be depended on to produce seed in our 
climate if planted in May or early June. 
The plants are tall and make an abundant leafy growth so that it is 
also excellent for hay or ensilage. It makes ensilage of very high 
protein content. 
15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.45; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $4.50; Sack of 2 Bu. $8.80. Purchaser 
pays transportation. 
MANCHU. Use for hay or cover crops. This variety is better suited 
in the northern states for hay, silage or green manure 
than grain. The plants are 3 feet tall, upright, with few branches near 
the ground. The foliage is heavy, giving large yields of the finest hay. 
It is a week later than Seneca and does not always ripen seed in this 
climate. Its fine stems make hay of high quality. 
This variety is also the best for cover crops to be plowed under as its 
heavy growth of foliage adds a large amount of humus to the soil. If 
inoculated with Nitragin, the available nitrogen in the soil is also 
greatly increased.

eating. See page 7.
