Grading Katahdins, 
KATAHDIN 
Heavy Yielding Late Storage Potato 
Katahdin is one of the higher yielding 
generally adapted to Wisconsin growing conditions. It was developed 
by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture at Presque Isle, Maine. It is a 
heavy yielder, resistant to mild mosaic, tolerant to heat and drought con- 
ditions, but extremely susceptible to scab. On _ sgscab-free soils it pro- 
duces beautiful white tubers of high market quality. The potatoes are 
very similar in shape and appearance to Chippewa. The skin is 
velvety white, very shallow eyes, oblong and somewhat flat in shape. 
On light soils the tubers have a tendency to come up through the soil 
and sunseald. The vines seem quite resistant to Hopperburn, The best 
keeping variety on our entire list.

CHIPPEWA 
The heavy yielding 
midseason potato 
A midseason or second early potato introduced by the U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture which in trials has proven outstanding for the 
northern states. It is resistant to mild mosaic and a heavy yielder. The 
Grand Rapids Station reports a yield of 464 bushels to the test plot. 
Mr, R. L. Donovan of the Grand Rapids Station states that Chippewa 
will replace the old standard varieties and outyield them by a large 
margin. We recommend it to Wisconsin potato growers as it is earlier 
than Green Mountain and other late potatoes and is a handsome potato 
and a heavy yielder, The skin is velvety white, has shallow eyes and 
is oblong in shape. Since we first introduced this new potato, our sales 
have greatly increased each year. Seldom has hollow hearts and always 
cooks up white.

Russet Sebago is scab free grown on scab infested soil, 
NEW SCAB RESISTANT 
RUSSET SEBAGO 
Russet Sebago is a new potato developed by Professors Wayne Weber 
and Henry Darling and Dr. Gus Reimann at the Wisconsin Oollege of 
Agriculture, It is essentially the Sebago in a Russet skin. Like Sebago 
it is resistant to late blight, is a heavy yielder, cooks up white, and the 
tubers are well shaped with shallow eyes. The tougher Russet skins 
give this strain more resistance to scab than its parent, the smooth, thin 
skinned Sebago. If you have scab infested soil you should plant this 
new variety or Menomonee. We consider Russet Sebago superior to the 
Russet Rural, which formerly was our best variety on scab infested soil. 
As it is a new variety seed stocks are likely to be short, and we advise 
you to place your order early to be sure of seed.

SEQUOIA 
The Sequoia is one of the highest yielding varieties, and we receive 
many requests each year for seed stock, but we cannot recommend it to 
our trade. It is very susceptible to scab and tuber blight and produces 
ill-shaped, oversized tubers of poor cooking quality. In our opinion the 
varieties that we list are all far superior for Wisconsin, 
MENOMONEE 
A New Scab Resistant Potato. 
A new late maturing, round, white skinned variety that was released 
a few years ago by the Michigan Experiment Station in cooperation 
with the United States Department of Agriculture. It is more resistant 
to scab than any variety on our list. It yields heavy, but under Wis- 
consin conditions it is rather late, and with D.D.T. spraying, which 
causes potato crops to ripen two or three weeks later than normal it 
might not prove too popular in Wisconsin, Tubers are very irregular in 
shape. If you have heavy scab infested soil we suggest that you give 
this variety a trial,

RUSSET RURAL 
In appearance, size and yield, the Russet Rural is very similar to the 
White Rural New Yorker, the only difference is that the skin is slightly 
russet and tubers in shape are more flat and a trifle shorter. Growers 
claim that the Russet has a little better quality than the White, and are 
more popular on some markets. An old variety that is losing its popu- 
larity rapidly to the new Chippewa and Blight Resistant Sebago varieties. 
Resistant to Hopperburn. Like the White Rural it sometimes cooks up 
dark. The shallow eyes and attractive appearance make it popular on 
the market, but it is largely grown because it yields heavily and is quite 
resistant to scab.
