New Bug and Blight-Resistant 













Originated by U. S. 
Dept. of Agriculture 
First Time Offered 
Less spraying for 
bugs.and blight—that’s 
what the SEQUOIA will 
mean to you, at the same 
time producing a good 
crop of excellent pota- 
toes, even in a drought 
year. 
SEQUOIA is a cross 
of Green Mountain and 
Ieatahdin, producing 
good-sized tubers of the 
finest cooking quality, 
with white flesh and 
shallow eyes. This me- 
dium-late variety should 
be planted a bit heavier 
than other potatoes, and 
the seed supply is very 
limited—so order early. 
We offer Certified Seed 
Stocks. See Blue Figure

Play Safe With Certified Seed Potatoes 
Farmers can be sure of getting a better potato crop, by using Cer- 
tified Seed, instead of local stocks, that may have run out, according 
to R. C. Rose, Plant Pathologist at University Farm. Virus diseases, 
such as spindle tuber, mosaic, yellow dwarf, and leaf roll are often 
present in table stock or garden crops. Seed used from a bin of these 
potatoes may carry enough infection to reduce the vigor of the crop 
the second year. This is what is known as ‘‘running out’’ in seed 
potatoes.

EO New PONTIAC 
Potato breeders at Michigan Experiment Farm produced this 
‘‘wonder potato’’ from seedlings of Bliss Triumph and Katahdin.

quality and vigorous growth. 
It’s a midseason, red potato—round to oblong shape, with 
medium deep eyes and crisp white flesh. It is freer from hollow 
heart, misshapen tubers, and more drought resistant than other 
varieties. A vigorous, upright grower producing heavy yields on 
muck as well as upland soils. Price: See Blue Figure Price List.

“SEQUOIA” 

New SEBAGO 
Resistant 
to Blight 
Late blight took 
a heavy toll in the 
Potato growing 
sections of the 
Northwest during 
the past séveral 
years. .Llt.was 
Sebago that with- 
stood the epidemic 
best of any vari- 
ety, according to 
the record of the 
North Central Sta- 
tion at Grand Rap- 
ids, and our own 
growers’ reports. 
Sebago is a cross of Chippewa and Katahdin—a vigorous grower, 
producing high yields of sound white potatoes of excellent cooking 
quality. It is a medium late variety, becoming immensely popular as 
a home or market potato. 
Yields averaging 390 bushels per 
recent tests.

Early—Heavy Yielding 
U.S. D. fA. CHIPPEWA Well Suited for the Northwest 
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 two tests. The average differ- 
ence in yield was 89 bushels. Chippewa matures 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. Price: 
See Blue Figure Price List, 
Certified EARLY OHIO 
This old favorite is a heavy yielder, of even size, oval tubers, very smooth, 
with shallow eyes. Early Ohios always bring a high market price, and 
though very early, they keep well. The flesh is white, firm, fine grained, 
and of excellent flavor. Price: See Blue Figure List, 
EARLY IRISH COBBLER 
Another extra fine early potato, and one that is not easily affected by 
blight and insects. The tubers are nearly round, and slightly flattened, 
rather blocky shape. The skin is white, well netted with eyes of medium 
depth. Price: See Blue Figure List.
