Minnesota -Grooun SEED POTATOES 
‘New Bug and Blight-Resistant 
SEQUOIA ,.~@q 
Originated by U. S. 
Dept. of Agriculture 




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 
Katahdin, 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 
Price List. 
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.

New SEBAGO 
Resistant 
to Blight 
Late blight took a heavy 
toll in the Potato growing 
sections of the Northwest 
during the past several 
years. It was Sebago that 
withstood the epidemic 
best of any variety, ac- 
cording to the record of 
the North Central Station 
at Grand Rapids, and our 
own growers’ reports. 

Sebago is a cross of Chippewa and Katahdin—a vigorous grower, pro- 
ducing high yields of sovnd’ white potatoes of excellent cooking quality. 
It is a medium late variety, becoming immensely popular as a home or 
market potato, 3 
Yields averaging 390 bushels per acre have been reported in recent tests. 
The seed supply, however, is still limited, and we advise ordering early. 
Price: See Blue Figure Price List. 
Early—Heavy Yielding 
U.S.D. Aa. 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 with Cobbler in 12 counties and exceeded Cobbler 
in yield of No. 1 potatoes in all but two tests. The average difference 
in yield was 39 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, 
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.
