Grading Katahdins, 
Heavy Yielding Late Storage Potato 
Katahdin is one of the higher yielding late varieties, which is 
generally adapted to Wisconsin growing conditions. It was developed 
by: the 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 _scab-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 sunscald. The vines seem quite resistant to Hopperburn. The best 
keeping variety on our entire list.

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.

Russet Rurals. 

Le Liisa 
Russet Sebago is scab free grown on scab infested soil, 
NEW SCAB RESISTANT 
RUSSET SEBAGO 
This variety is resistant to more potato 
variety and is being used extensively by potato plant breeders. Devel- 
oped 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. 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.

RUSSET BURBANK—IDAHO 
In Wisconsin, generally speaking, this variety does not yield good, 
but on some muck soils and in some areas it has done very well. On 
the market it is generally sold as Idaho Russet, and is one of the best 
potatoes for baking. The oblong potato has a well netted brown skin, 
and the eyes are shallow. A well known variety on the market which 
is usually offered at higher prices than other varieties. Prices: Wisconsin

MENOMONEE 
We are not offering Menomonee 
seed potatoes this year as we be- 
lieve that the new Russet Sebago 
is very much superior to Menom- 
SEQUOIA 
While the Sequoia is a high 
yielding variety we do not list it 
as it is susceptible to scab and 
tuber blight, and produces _ill- 
shaped oversize tubers of poor 
cooking quality. 
CHIPPEWA 
The heavy yielding 
midseason potato 
A midseason or second early potato introduced by the U. 8. 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.
