Certified SEED POTATOES 
Farmers can be sure of getting a better potato 
crop, by using Certified Seed, instead of local 
stocks, that may have run out, according to R. 
C. Rose, Plant Pathologist at University Farm. 
Virus diseases, such as spindle tuber, mosaic, 
yellow dwarf, and leaf roll are often present in 
table stock or garden crops. Seed used from a 
bin of these potatoes may carry enough infection 
to reduce the vigor of the crop the second year. 
This is what is known as “running out.”

EARLY POTATO 
Extra Early WASECA 
Promising to Replace Warba! 
Here’s Minnesota's new extra early red potato 
which has proved such a great improvement 
over Warba! Waseca tubers are oblong to round, 
medium thick, with shallow eyes and a thick 
red skin. The crop runs mostly U.S. No. 1 
Standard. Plants are medium to small in size, 
but produce yields equal or above other early 
varieties. It has very wide adaptation, proving 
a good producer in the Red River Valley, and 
on peat land, as well as the late region and in 
early market areas. It 
is rated highest of all 
early varieties in gen- 
eral desirability stand- 
ards. Excellent for bak- 
ing, boiling or frying.

List.

NEW CHEROKEE 
Both Scab and Blight Resistant! 
Grow big, smooth, clean potatoes, free 
from scab as well as blight!” Cherokee is 
the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture’s first high 
quality potato with this double resistance 
to BOTH late blight and scab. Most valu- 
able where scab is troublesome. It's 
classed as mid-season, maturing 10 days 
after Cobbler, but it yields much heavier, 
equalling yields of Katahdin. The smooth, 
attractive, white-skinned tubers are far 
better cookers, bakers, and keepers. See 
Blue Figure Price List.

<& Most Blight-Resistant of All! 
Here's the potato that has the greatest re- 
sistance of all, to troublesome Late Blight! 
Just released by the Maine Experiment Sta- 
tion and U.S.D.A., after years of research. 
Kennebec is midseason in maturity and has 
been widely tested throughout the U.S. The 
attractive tubers are white, smooth-skinned, 
with shallow eyes, and have excellent 
cooking quality and are good keepers. Also 
resistant to Mosaic and scab. It should be 
planted closer than other varieties, other- 
wise tubers tend to grow abnormally large. 
Results the past season indicate Kennebec’s 
quality, high yields, and disease resistance, 
warrant the wide publicity this new variety 
has received. See back cover. See Blue
