WMatue Certified Seed Potatoes 
Shipment from April 1st to June ist 
Culture: Cut the seed into pieces, having 2 or 3 eyes. 
Plant in furrows 3 feet apart and 12 to 15 inches apart in 
the row. One peck of potatoes should be sufficient to plant 
75 to 100 hills; 10 to 14 bushels are required to plant an 
acre. Potatoes do best on new soil and will respond 
generously to fertilizer applications. Cultivate by bringing 
the soil well up around the plant. Spray or dust the 
plants for insects and blight. — 
Green Mountain 
One of the old standard varieties. It is an excellent 
potato for baking and very dependable keeper for winter. 
It has been for years the standard main crop variety in 
the East and is still a favorite with many because of its 
fine quality. It seems to thrive on all types of soils and 
produces a heavy crop. The skin is white and the potatoes 
cook white and mealy. Most crops produce potatoes of a 
very satisfactory size for home use. 

Chippewa 
Chippewa 
A good variety to plant with Green Mountain or Katah- 
din. Constantly gaining in favor since its introduction by 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It is a high yielding 
potato, highly resistant to. mild mosaic. It has a velvety 
white skin with very shallow eyes; regular in outline, 
oblong to elliptical in shape. It matures earlier than the 
Green Mountain and other late maturing varieties: It con- 
sistently produces an attractive tuber with a very high 
percentage of No. 1 potatoes. A _ distinct advantage 
possessed by the Chippewa is its maturity before the 
usual time of digging the late crop. While it is not classed 
as an early variety, it matures somewhat earlier than 
Green Mountain and other late maturing varieties. 
AROOSTGOK COUNTY, MAINE POTATOES. We have 
offered for years only certified stock from Aroostook 
County, Maine, as we believe that this stock, certified by 
Maine Authorities, is best adapted to our New England 
conditions and soil. We recommend that new seed be used 
each year and that only certified seed be planted. 
We recommend the use of 
both C.0.C.S. Niatox Code 
824 and Bordeaux Powder for 
control of insects and dis- 
ease on potatoes. 
Sebago 
Sebagoes stand up 
well in transit. It’s a 
firm fleshed variety 
and little shrinkage 
may be expected in 
the bin. It is true 
as with all varieties 
some faults may be 
found with the Se- 
bago. It is a late 
maturing variety 
and the tubers are 
similar to the Chip- 
pewa. Sebago is rec- 
ommended where a 
late, smooth, round 
variety with shal- 
eye, resistant to 
late blight is de- 
sired. 

ROSS BROS. CO., Worcester, Mass. 
Irish Cobbler 
An early, white-skinned variety; very short, thick, in- 
clining to round. This potato has continued to gain in 
popularity as the variety for the early market. It is still 
the best early potato both in quality and yield. Very few 
others even equal and none surpass the Cobbler in yield 
unless it is some of the main later varieties For home 
garden planting it is a wonderful sort, giving the gardener 
a good crop of early potatoes of unsurpassed quality. It 
does have a deeper eye than most varieties and some 
object to this, but this defect is made up by earliness and 
quality. The vine is very strong and vigorous and is quite 
resistant to blight and other potato plant diseases. A very 
fine old variety. 
30 lbs., $1.58; G0 lbs., $3.09; 100 ls., $4.60. 
Katahdin 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the 
Katahdin has become the outstanding late potato for 
storage and market. It was originated in Maine and has 
been bred for disease resistance, quality and yield. Dur- 
ing the years it was under observation it was entirely 
free from mild mosaic. It has increased in yield until it 
has surpassed about all of the late producing varieties. 
The tubers are smooth, short, elliptical to roundish, and 
have few very small, shallow eyes. The crisp white flesh 
has a distinct cooking quality which appeals to the house- 
wife.
