a ‘HONEOYE FALLS, N.*Y. - MARCH 1, 1945 
Winning the war is now assured, but winning the peace is still uncertain. Nothing will be more potent 
than food in holding in check the forces of anarchy and disorder ready to spring up in the liberated and conquered countries 
of Europe and Asia. 
Not only are the lives of millions of people concerned, but the peace and welfare of the world for years 
With less manpower and depreciated machinery, and with risk of 
unfavorable weather in some important producing area, there is real danger of insufficient food being produced. So again, 
it is our high privilege as well as our duty to produce to the limits of our strength, ability and resources. 
This is our part 
in bringing out of this greatest catastrophe ever to befall mankind, a far better world for all people than ever has been 
possible betore. - :

to the dread wilt disease. The seed is produced by controlled cross 
pollination of specially bred strains. The seed costs more, but results 
justify the cost many times over. 
We offer hybrids that ripen at different times, each being one of 
the best available in its ripening period. One can choose those that 
best suit his market or can provide a continuous supply from early to 
late by planting at one time several that will ripen in succession and 
then following with successive plantings of a late one. 
In the brief descriptions given below, the maturity dates are ap- 
proximate for this section and naturally vary with locality and season. 
They are comparable with Golden Bantam at 80 days.

Quaker Hill Certified Seed Potatoes 
Seed potato value depends mostly on (1) freedom from disease 
carried in the tuber, (2) the breeding of the strain and (3) con- 
dition of the seed. The first two cannot be told fully by appearances, 
yet are most important. The buyer must depend on the certification 
tag and the word of the seller. 
All our certified lots are from fields reported by the inspectors 
either free or very nearly free of virus diseases. The not certified 
lots were grown from certified seed and especially for seed use. Spe- 
cial precautions have been taken to guard against bacterial ring rot 
and we are as sure as can be, that the disease is not present in any of 
the seed potatoes offered. All lots are backed by years of careful 
breeding. They are northern grown, well stored, well graded and 
guaranteed to reach you in satisfactory condition. 
The best of: the new and old varieties are listed below, in the 
order of their ripening. See page 3 for sources, grades and prices. 
WARBA - Ten to 14 days earlier than Cobbler. Generally outyields 
it. Quality is very good. It resembles Cobbler, but has pink eyes. 
Mosaic resistant; susceptible to scab, leaf roll, etc. Best early in our 
judgment. Better plant Warba for your summer supply and for mar- 
ket, too. 
IRISH COBBLER- For many years the main early potato. Round, 
white, deep eyed tuber of excellent quality. Prince Edward Island 
certified Cobblers are available this spring. 
CHIPPEWA - Week later than Cobbler. 
round potato with few and shallow eyes. Cooks white and firm, but 
not mealy as most people like. Excellent for chipping and French 
frying. Resistant to mild mosaic, very susceptible to leaf roll and 
scab. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN - Mid season. Fine quality. Requires cool 
moist climate. Not recommended elsewhere. 
KATAHDIN - Matures with Green Mountain or a few days later, a 
week earlier than Rurals. Fine appearing, white-skinned, round, flat- 
tened potato. Quality good. Resistant to virus diseases, scab suscep- 
tible. Sets lightly but develops nearly all No. 1 size potatoes. Sets 
shallow, needs more and later covering. 
RUSSET RURAL - Deep rooted high yielding late potato that with- 
stands adverse conditions. Normally excellent eating quality but dark 
skin unattractive to buyers. Scab resistant, virus susceptible. 
WHITE RURAL - Smooth or White Rurals have same adaptations 
as Russets but sell better. 
SEBAGO - Has proven resistant to blight both early and late and 
also to yellow dwarf, mild mosaic and scab. A little later than Rurals. 
Smooth, shallow eyed, white skinned, round tubers. Attractive as 
Chippewa. Table quality excellent, equal to any in our opinion. In 
many tests, Sebago’s yields were generally equal to or better than 
other varieties. _ Popularity increasing rapidly in late potato areas. 
We recommend it highly for either garden or field. 
PONTIAC- A late maturing red potato resembling Bliss Triumph. 
Beautiful white, flattened 
’ Hardy, vigorous, very heavy yielding variety. Good quality. Scab 
susceptible. Salability uncertain. 
SEQUOIA - Recent introduction. Yields averaging more than any 
other. Tolerant to flea beetles, leaf hoppers and drought. Somewhat 
resistant to blight and frost. Scab susceptible. Late maturing, must 
be planted early. Tends to grow oversize unless planted close. Quality 
very good. Very promising. Better try Sequoia. 
Greater Profits From Pasture Improvement 
High feed costs and high milk and meat prices have boosted pro- 
fits from good pastures tremendously. Never before has pasture im- 
provement offered so rich rewards. No stockman can afford to ignore 
them. At Cornell, after much research, methods of improvement 
have been perfected and put into practice that produce much greater 
annual net returns than are secured from most other crops. Better 
write Agronomy Dept., College of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y. for Bul- 
letin 393 and other literature on pasture improvement. Start im- 
proving your pasture this season. _We can supply the recommended 
seeds. See price list, page 3. °
