RUSSET SEBAGO 
Scab and Late Blight Resistant 
This yariety is resistant to more potato’ diseases than any other 
variety. eeloped by Professors Wayne Weber and Henry Darling and 
Dr. Gus Reimann at the Wisconsin College of Agriculture. It is essential- 
ly the Sebago in a Russet skin. Like Sebago it is resistant to late 
plight, is a heavy yielder, cooks up white, and the tubers are well shaped 
with shallow eyes. The tougher Russet skins give this strain more re- 
sistance to scab than its parent, the smooth, thin skinned Sebago. If you 
have scab infested soil you should plant this variety or Ontario. Russet 
Sebago is not quite as scab resistant as Ontario, but in addition it is 
blight resistant. 4 ‘ :

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. Prices: Wisconsin certified stock by express or

SEBAGO 
Late Blight Resistant 
A late blight resistant potato tolerant to Potato Hopperburn caused 
by the Potato Leaf Hopper and resistant to the Yellow Dwarf disease 
which often causes heavy losses in the sandy soil regions. Its yielding 
ability is about the same as Cobbler. Cooks white. 
The tubers are very similar to Chippewa—white, thin skinned, shallow- 
eyed, and oval to oblong in shape. Vines are large, definitely upright 
in growth habits. Because of its fine quality and thin skin, it is quite 
susceptible to scab. Plants set heavy with tubers and ‘therefore requires 
a fertile soil, ;
