NEW YORK STATE CERTIFIED KATAHDIN: 
110 days. Tubers glossy white, shallow-eyed, 
rather thick, very regular and seldom rough even 
under unfavorable conditions. Fairly wide adapta- 
tion. Usually does not yield as well as other late 
varieties, but very popular on markets. Sets few 
tubers and develops them rapidly. Sets shallow 
and is subject to sunburn. Somewhat resistant to 
mosaic, leaf-roll, yellow dwarf and “‘Z"’ disease. 
1 peck (15 lbs.) by Parcel Post $1.70, prepaid; 1 
to 10 bags $5.25 per 100 lb. bag; 10 to 100 bags 
$5.00; 100 bags or more $4.90, not prepaid. 
* PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND CERTIFIED IRISH 
COBBLERS: 90 days. This seed was grown on 
Prince Edward Island, Canada. Weather and soil 
conditions there are ideal for the production of Cob- 
bler potatoes. Prince Edward Island seed of this 
variety is much more vigorous and produces a larger 
yield than seed grown farther South. 
The Irish Cobbler is a medium early variety. 
Tuber is blocky, glossy white, rather deep-eyed, 
very susceptible to scab, well adapted to muck and 
the lighter soils. Requires cool moist situation for 
high yields. Excellent quality. 1 peck (15 Ibs.) 
by Parcel Post $1.80, prepaid; 1 to 10 bags $5.75 
per 100 lb. bag; 10 to 100 bags $5.50; 100 bags or 
more $5.40, not prepaid.

Charles Aderman of Lockport, N.Y. writes, ‘I planted two bushels 
of your Prince Edward Island Cobbler Seed Potatoes and this is a 
picture of them in bloom; they looked like a flower garden. I 
cleared $56.80 on my two bushels of seed’’. 
SWEET POTATO PLANTS 
100 plants will set 150 ft. row 
Sweet potatoes can be successfully grown in the 
Northern States providing you have a sandy soil, 
plant the right variety and follow our cultural direc- 
tions. If you have the soil we will supply you with 
the plants and full cultural directions. 
Our Northern growers are finding that sweet pota- 
toes can be grown farther North than was thought pos- 
sible. This is the result of new and earlier varieties 
and better cultural practices. A new variety devel- 
oped in Maryland called “Maryland Golden” has 
given wonderful results in New York State. We sup- 
ply each purchaser of plants with detailed instructions 
on how to grow sweet potatoes successfully. All you 
need is a moderately light, fertile soil. 
MARYLAND GOLDEN: 120 days. One of the most 
attractive and productive varieties we have ever 
seen. Flesh golden color and medium dry. Stores 
well but is tender and must be handled carefully. 
Plants ready for shipment about June Ist. 50 
plants $1.00; 100 plants $1.75, prepaid; 500 
plants $6.00; 1,000 plants $10.00, not prepaid. 
SEED DISINFECTANTS 
With the exception of New Improved Ceresan for grain where treatment of the seed definitely controls 
disease, seed treatment is mainly beneficial in that it protects the seed from fungus and molds thar kill the seeds 
in the ground. This is especially true when the soil is cold and wet; therefore, it is far more important to treat 
early planted vegetable seed than seed planted later in the season. 
We consider it good insurance to treat sweet 
corn with Semesan Jr. and lima beans with Spergon at any time. 
SPERGON FOR LIMA BEANS, PEAS, ETC: Pro- 
tects seed against decay, improves stands and actu- 
ally stimulates growth. Highly recommended for 
lima beans and excellent for peas. 2 oz. treats | bu. 
of seed. 1 oz. 25c; 2 oz. 45c; 5 oz. $1.00; 1 lb. 
$2.50; 5 Ibs. $10.50; 10 Ibs. $19.50, prepaid. 
SEMESAN JR. FOR CORN: A cheap and effective 
treatment for sweet and field corn seed. Kills 
molds and protects corn from rotting in the ground. 
1% oz. (enough to treat 1 bu.) 17c; 12 oz. 60c, 
prepaid; 6% lbs. $4.16, not prepaid. 
SEMESAN FOR TREATING VEGETABLE SEEDS: 
Applied to the seed, Semesan helps prevent rotting 
in the soil. Dissolved in water and applied to soil, it 
is used against organisms causing damping off. 1% oz. 
12c; 2 oz. 45c; 12 oz. $2.10, prepaid; 4 lbs. $10.10, 
not prepaid. 
CERESAN FOR GRAIN: New Improved. Effective 
for control of covered smut on wheat, oats and barley. 
Y% oz. treats 1 bu. of seed. 4 oz. 35c; 1 lb. 90c,

SEMESAN BEL FOR SEED POTATOES: One pound

potatoes. 2 oz. 35c; 1 lb. $1.83, prepaid; 4 lbs. 
$6.33, not prepaid. 
ARASAN: For corn and vegetables. Excellent treat- 
ment for spinach and beets, also good for corn, vine 
crops, pepper and many other vegetable seeds. Re-
