Main-grown seed Potatoes continue to yield larger crops in this seetion 
and to give all-round better results than home-grown stock. One of our 
good customers recently made a typical statement, when he said, “I am 
sold on Maine-grown stock forever, for where I planted: them last year I 
had a crop. But my home seed planting was a failure.”’ 
Chippewa. An origination of the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture which has 
consistently yielded higher than Irish 
Cobbler and Green Mountain in official 
tests from Maine to Florida. A smooth, 
light-skinned variety with shallow eyes, 
maturing a week after Irish Cobbler. 
Green Mountain. A heavy producer on 
almost any soil, but does especially well 
in the northern sections where there is 
plentiful rainfall. Smooth, oval, white- 
skinned tubers, uniformly large in size. 
Irish Cobbler. The standard early white 
. Potato on all markets, and continues 
to lead all others in demand. White- 
skinned, smooth, round, thick tubers, 
ready about 10 days earlier than Early 
Rose. Vigorous vines, not so much 
affected by blight or drought as most. 
Katahdin. This comparatively new va- 
riety has gained wide popularity in re- 
cent years. The 1943 demand was at 
least double that of the previous year. 
A smooth, oval, white va- 
riety with shallow eyes, 
making a fine appearance. 
A heavy producer doing 
best on light soil; should 
not be planted on heavy 
soil subject to drought. 
It is without a doubt the 
best cooking Potato on} 
the market.

umph. A heavy yielder 
of mature Potatoes for 
table use at the earliest 
possible date. Some- 
times called the ‘‘Six- 
weeks Potato.”

for growing in sandy loam. Skin pale 
pink; flesh pure white, of good quality.
