Seed bearing New York certification tags has been produced by seed-minded farmers. It is seed that has qualified for certification 
by having been found at every inspection to have met the New York State Standard. Freedom from virus diseases which can be 
detected only during the growing season is one of the most important requirements. Absolute freedom is not required nor is there 
any guarantee that such diseases may not develop in the plants grown from the seed certified, but experience shows that it is'rare 
for high percentages to develop in fields grown from certified seed. Assurance of seed quality is based on a thorough-going system of 
field inspections prior to harvest supplemented by sample test plots and grade inspections. 
To be eligible for certification, the growing crop must have been inspected two or more times in the field, in the sample check 
plot at Ithaca and in the sample check plot in Florida by inspectors who are trained and provided by the College of Agriculture. 
In addition, every lot of certified Seed Potatoes is subject to grade inspection by State-Federal inspectors and must meet U. S. No. 1 
or U. S. Commercial grade as specified. 
Seed is not certified seed until it is properly labeled with the official certification tag, and has been offered for grade inspection: 
Misuse or imitation of the certification tag, or of the word “certified” or of other similar words when used in connection with seed 
is a violation of State Law. 

CHIPPEWA 
BLISS TRIUMPH 
Very early (80 days), pink skin, tubers 
blocky, usually with shallow eyes. Adapta- 
tion similar to Irish Cobbler. 
In New York State, suitable for early 
marketing, local markets and home gardens. 
Excellent cooking quality. 
CHIPPEWA 
About 10 days later than Irish Cobbler. 
Tubers glossy white, shallow-eyed, flattened. 
Tends to sprout early in storage. Should 
be marketed early for best quality. Usually 
out-yields Cobbler. Widely adapted and 
fairly tolerant of heat and drought. 
Owing to its wide range of adaptation 
and popularity on the market, acreage is 
increasing. Cooks white. Not very mealy. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN 
Mid-season to late maturity. Tubers 
of high quality and popular in most mar- 
kets. Tubers oblong, flat and creamy white. 
Not well adapted to heavy soils as it easily 
becomes ill-shaped. Very sensitive to un- 
favorable soils and climate, not tolerant 
to heat and drought. 
Should be confined to northern New 
York, Long Island, certain muck soils 
and to the lighter soils and higher eleva- 
tions elsewhere. 
HOUMA 
Matures almost as early as Chippewa 
and at least a week earlier than Green 
Mountain. Tubers of glossy white, smooth 
skin; eyes very shallow except for tendency 
to be deep at the bud end; shape quite 
short and thick. Quality rating excellent. 
Resistant to yellow dwarf and mild mosaic. 
Adapted to the lighter soils and condi- 
tions favorable to Green Mountain. Has 
yielded about the same as Green Moun- 
tain in yield tests. Not widely grown, 
but acreage increasing. Sets many tubers 
so may develop small size under dry 
conditions. 
IRISH COBBLER 
Medium early (about 90 days). Glossy, 
white skin. Tuber blocky with rather 
deep eyes. Not well adapted to heavier 
soils, but well adapted to muck and to 
lighter soils. Requires cool, moist situa- 
tions for high yields. Excellent quality, 
KATAHDIN 
Matures later than Green Mountain; 
earlier than Rural. Tubers glossy white, shal- 
low eyed, rather thick, very regular and 
seldom rough, even under unfavorable 
conditions. 
Fairly wide adaptation. Usually does 
not yield as well as other late varieties, 
but very popular on markets. Sets few 
tubers and develops tubers rapidly. Sets 
shallow and subject to sunburn. Some- 
what resistant to mosaic, leaf-roll, yellow 
dwarfand ‘‘Z”’ disease. 
A very reliable crop- 
per for areas where 
season is too short for 
late varieties. IR1SH 
COBBLER 
RURAL 
Late. Tubers white, 
oval-flattened, reg- 
ular. Recommended 
for the heavier soils 
and where Potatoes 
are grown under 
least favorable con- 
ditions. 
Fairly tolerant to 
heat and drought. 
Stores well. Tubers 
usually mealy. 
SEBAGO 
Somewhat later than Rural. Tubers very 
white, shallow-eyed, about as thick as Katah- 
din. Vigorous, upright foliage; fairly resist- 
ant to heat and drought. Wide adaptation 
to soil and climate. Yields as well or better 
than Rural. Somewhat resistant to late 
blight, yellow dwarf and scab. Cooks white 
and fairly mealy. 
WARBA 
A seedling of Bliss Triumph from the Min- 
nesota Experiment Station, with smooth, 
white skin and pink eyes. Earlier than the 
Cobbler, a heavy yielder, and immune to 
mosaic disease. If your soil is not heavy we 
suggest trying a few Warbas for early market. 

DUST OR SPRAY YOUR POTATOES 
Potato planters who grow for market all recog- 
nize the value of dusting or 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. 
FOR BUGS AND BLIGHT: Potatox. 
COS Niatox 3 Dust. 
FOR BUGS ONLY: Arsenate of Lead, Paris 
Green, DDT. 
FOR BLIGHT ONLY: Bordeaux, Blue Stone, 
Copper Solution. 
FOR TREATING SEED POTATOES 
Semesan Bel. Prevents diseases in Potatoes. 
Black Leaf 40. For aphids and other plant lice. 
SPRAY MATERIALS AND SPRAYERS are 
described on page 43.
