WOOD'S MAINE GROWN SEED POTATOES 
Grown Especially for Seed Purposes—Plant 10 Bushels to the Acre 

Maine Grown Irish Cobbler Potatoes 
MAINE GROWN IRISH COBBLER POTATOES 
Probably the most popular potato with the larger growers, due 
to its very early maturity, making its crop in 90 to 100 days, where- 
as the later maturing potatoes require from 115 to 130 days. It is 
grown extensively in 18 out of 21 states, comprising the main crop 
region, which proves its wide adaptability. For an early crop of 
potatoes for the home garden there is none better than the Irish 
Cobbler. 
Spray Your Potatoes 
Potato planters who grow for market all recognize the value of 
spraying; they know from experience the increased yield and the 
better quality of the potatoes. For these same reasons, those who 
grow for their own use should spray. Spraying costs but little, but 
pays handsomely. 
BORDEAUX MIXTURE is the recognized fungicide, preventing 
disease and stimulating the plants to yield better crops. 
SEMESAN BEI prevents diseases in potatoes, 
ARSENATE OF LEAD AND PARIS GREEN are the universally 
used insecticides to kill leaf-eating insects. Both can be put into 
bordeaux mixture and applied at a single spraying. 
SPRAY MATERIALS AND SPRAYERS are described on pages 64 
to 68. 
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES 
og raiser should grow artichekes, for they come year 
ipl Shas fae hogs will harvest them without cost, will fatten 
on them, and they will keep the hogs in fine condition—it is 
claimed that artichokes prevent hog cholera. They are grown 
just like potatoes; cut them two eyes to the piece, and plant 2 
inches deep, 15 to 18 inches apart in 3 to 3144-foot rows, In the fall 
when they have matured, turn the hogs among them and they 
will feed on them all winter except when the ground is wet 
or frozen, They 
are more cheap- 
ly grown and 
more productive 
than potatoes, 
averaging 300 to 
400 bushels to the 
acre. 
Although grown 
principally for} 
hogs, they are}, 
fine food for cat- 
tle, sheep and 
horses; for dairy 
cattle it is claim- 
ed they are nearly 
equal to bran as 
milk producers. 
Plant during March or April, the earlier the better; they will 
stand considerable drought and extreme cold, and can be planted 
earlier than potatoes, They grow well on any well-drained soil 
without much attention, and one planting does for several years. 
6 to 8 bushels plant an acre. By mail, qt. 35c; 44 peck 80c; peck

KATAHDIN POTATOES— Maine Grown 
This variety is fast becoming the most popular variety grown in 
the Southern states, as well as many localities in the Northeast. 
Yields the past season on Katahdins and Sebagos were ahead o 
practically all other varieties in Maine, showing fully a 30% in-ig 
crease in yield over other leading strains. It promises to become — 
the outstanding medium late potato for market or storage. In yield 
it has constantly surpassed other varieties, the tubers being ex 
ceptionally smooth skinned, large round uniform size, and hav 
few very shallow eyes, making them most desirable from an eat- 
ing standpoint. It is highly resistant to disease, having crisp white 
flesh, particularly free from internal discoloration, with fine cook 
rieties, which makes it one of the best varieties for the home garden 
and truck gardeners. We highly recommend its use in preference 
to Green Mountain for either spring or late planting. We also recom- — 
mend the Kathdin in favor of the Chippewa for planting the coming ~ 
season. % 
SEBAGO POTATOES—Maine Grown 
The Sebago was developed by the U. S. Department of Agricul- 
ture in cooperation with the Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta- 
tion. A late maturing variety, being about 10 days later than the ~ 
Katahdin, and 25 days later than Irish Cobbler. Has a wide adapta- 
tion in the late potato districts, producing heavy yields of potatoes ~ 
of exceptionally high market quality. Has the same characteris- 
ties of the Katahdin, being smooth skinned, shallow eyes, and goo 
cooking qualities. The Sebago and Kathadin highly recommended fo 
spring planting in the Piedmont and Mountain section of the East- — 
ern states. Also are exceptionally fine varieties for summer plant- — 
ing during late June and early July. >) Sie 
GREEN MOUNT AIN—Maine Grown 
Has been one of the most popular late varieties for many years, — 
and still a favorite among many potato growers. Particularly 
adapted to cool and reasonably moist climate, and to the lighter — 
type of soils. The tubers are oblong flattened, producing uniformly ~ 
large smooth potatoes. Green Mountain is being replaced to a large — 
extent in many sections by the newer varieties, chiefly Katahdin — 
and Sebago. d 
IMPORTANCE OF GOOD SEED é 
The value of good seed stock has long been recognized as 
one of the important factors in potato production. Even the 
small grower realizes that the seed stock he uses must be rea- 
sonably free from virus and fungous diseases to enable him 
to harvest a maximum crop. Our preference is always for 
certified. The Selected Seed we offer is the pick of the crop, 
grown from Certified Seed, especially for seed stock, and can 
be depended upon to make dependable disease free crops.
