POTATOES 
AINE-GROWN 
(CERTIFIED) 
Maine-grown Seed Potatoes are now almost universally used in this 
area. Only a very few planters use locally grown Potatoes for seed. 
Results over many years have demonstrated that it pays to buy 
either Certified or Select Maine stock each year. The net difference 
in cost is small when compared with average results. Frequently it 
means the difference between a good crop and total failure. 
Chippewa. An origination of the U. 8S. Department of Agriculture 
which has consistently yielded higher than Irish Cobbler and Green 
Mountain in official tests from Maine to Florida. A smooth, light- 
skinned variety with shallow eyes. 
Green Mountain. A heavy producer on almost any soil, but does 
especially well in the northern sections where there is plentiful 
rainfall. Smooth, oval, white-skinned tubers, uniformly large in 
size. 
Irish Cobbler. The standard early white Potato on all markets, and 
continues to lead all others in demand. White-skinned, smooth, 
round, thick tubers, ready about 10 days earlier than Early Rose. 
Vigorous vines, not so much affected by blight or drought as most. 
Katahdin. This comparatively new variety has gained wide popu- 
larity in recent years. A smooth, oval, white variety with shallow 
eyes, making a fine appearance. A heavy producer doing best on 
light soil; should not be planted on heavy soil subject to drought. 
It is without a doubt the best cooking Potato on the market. 
Red Bliss or Bliss Triumph. A heavy yielder of mature Potatoes 
for table use at the earliest possible date. Sometimes called the 
“Six-weeks Potato.” 
Sebago. A new blight-resistant Potato originated by the Maine 
Experiment Station, from a cross between Chippewa and Katahdin. 
It is a late-maturing variety comparable to Green Mountain in both 
quality and yield. 
Kennebec. A new variety that is gaining friends. Like Sebago 
and other new sorts, it was developed to resist blight and other 
diseases that have retarded growth and yield of Potatoes in recent 
years. 
Having Certified Maine-Grown Seed Potatoes on hand when they 
are needed is not left to chance. They must be contracted for well in 
advance of our needs, involving a price risk, and transported at the 
risk of freezing and other damage. The accompanying photograph 
shows a car which has traveled almost 1000 miles to reach our ware- 
house. The freight charges and bags alone account for a large part 
of the selling price.
