EXTRA EARLY COBBLER (IRISH 
COBBLER). One of the most reliable, 
first early Potatoes ever introduced. So 
uniform that every hill seems to ripen at 
one time. The yield is very large for an 
early variety. Form oval and round, skin 
slightly netted, creamy white with quite 
shallow eyes. Flesh pure white and of 
finest quality. 
EARLY TRIUMPH. A fine early, round red 
Potato. Uniform in size and shape and a 
heavy yielder. Unusually high quality 
and a fine keeper. One of the best for 
digging early and boiling with the jackets 
on. 
SEBAGO. Late blight-resistant Potato. 
White, thin skinned, shallow eyed, and 
oval to oblong in shape. Vines are large 
and definitely upright in growth. The 
leaves have a tendency to roll in hot 
weather as if the plant had leaf-roll disease. 
In season it is definitely a late Potato, 
setting tubers several weeks earlier than 
Purals, but the vines remain green just 
as long and sometimes longer. Because of 
its fine quality and thin skin, it is quite 
susceptible to scab. Plants set heavy 
with tubers and therefore it requires a 
fertile soil. 
KATAHDIN. Heavy-yielding late storage 
Potato. This is one of the higher-yielding 
late varieties, resistant to mild mosaic, 
tolerant of heat and drought conditions, 
but extremely susceptible to scab. On 
er ia tt ea scab-free soils it produces beautiful white

light soils the tubers have a tendency to

The best keeping variety on our entire 
list. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
This is a great crop for hogs and sheep. 
In from eight to ten weeks from sowing, it 
is ready for them to graze, producing 20 to 
30 tons of green feed per acre. Covers the 
ground and chokes out the weeds. Sow latter 
part of June, 6 pounds to the acre. 
SAND VETCH 
We could not supply our demands for this 
seed last year. Does well on sandy or worn- 
out land, but better soil gives better crops. 
SOY BEANS 
LINCOLN. The U. S. Department of 
Agriculture in tests from 61 points in Ohio, 
Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Missouri and Ne- 
braska, from 1938 to 1942 showed the 
following: Yield per acre: Lincoln 33.7— 
Illini 27.9—Dunfield 27.2. The ma- 
turity was 11% days earlier for the Lincoln, 
the degree of lodging was better and the 
seed quality was better. The Lincoln Bean 
contains 21.7% oil compared to 20.5% for 
Illini and 21.3% for Dunfield. 
NEW RICHLAND. Profitable variety, ten 
days to two weeks earlier than Illini. For 
Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, 
Minnesota and similar localities it is 

ae a highly recommended on account of its 
eau : a early maturity, high yield, excellent lodg- 
POTATOES. The reward of good seed ing resistance and high oil content.
