Potatoes—Continued 
Chippewa. An attractive potato, smooth, slightly flattened oval 
with shallow eyes, similar in appearance to Green Mountain, but 
earlier. Cooks very white and is good quality. Many growers are 
increasing their acreage on this, for it is profitable and sells readily 
after the main digging of Cobblers. 
Green Mountain. Vines strong and vigorous; tubers white, 
smooth and medium large. It is important that the seed is not only 
certified, but from a good, high-yielding strain and from fields with 
least possible disease affected plants. Will have a supply of such 
certified seed stock of this staple variety. Please write for market 
prices. 
Katahdin. A late variety developed by U. S. Department of 
Agriculture in Maine. Produces a smooth tuber of excellent shape, 
fine quality and high percentage of No. 1 Potatoes. About the same 
season as Green Mountain and suitable for storage. 
Note. The Irish Cobbler for early and Green Mountain for late 
crop are now more extensively used than any other sorts. Conse- 
quently have received more attention in building up high-yielding 
quality strains. We can recommend them.
