While we exercise great care to have

DIBBLE’S IMPROVED 
GREEN MOUNTAIN 
DIBBLE’S IMPROVED 
GREEN MOUNTAIN 
Tubers are uniform in shape, oblong, with two good ends, slightly 
flattened; creamy white skin absolutely free from disease and with 
pure white flesh of excellent quality. Well adapted to northern 
latitudes where rainfall is abundant and the temperature not ex- 
cessively high. As a rule, they do not succeed as well as the Rural 
group where they are subjected to unfavorable conditions during 
the time they are forming tubers. 
SEBAGO 
Originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A high- 
yielding variety somewhat later than the Smooth Rurals. White, 
shallow-eyed tubers thicker than Chippewa and of high table 
quality. Large vigorous foliage resistant to heat and drought, 
blight, yellow dwarf and scab. Especially desirable where blight 
occurs frequently or where spraying is omitted. 
ONTARIO 
Introduced by the Cornell Agricultural Experiment Station in 
1944, after many years of experimental work by Dr. F. M. Blodgett. 
It matures later than the Rural and Russet Rural and is resistant 
to scab, late blight and “Z” disease. Wide adaptation; tubers very 
smooth, white and slightly elongated. A very promising variety 
recommended where scab is a serious problem. 
CHEROKEE 
A promising new variety offered this year for the first time. It 
is ten days to two weeks later than Irish Cobbler and is resistant 
to scab and late blight. Smooth, glossy white skin with shallow 
eyes. Excellent eating quality and high yielding. This new va- 
riety 1s worthy of trial and we recommend that you try a few 
bushels. 
KENNEBEC 
A new late variety introduced by the U. S. Department of Agri- 
culture. Plant similar to Green Mountain but more vigorous. Very 
promising because it is very high yielding and blight resistant, 
with high starch content, and the tubers are of fine appearance. 
Tubers may become over-sized unless seed is planted close in row; 
resembles Katahdin except that it is somewhat more elongated. 
Widely adapted. 
SMOOTH RURAL 
The Smooth Rural group includes a Jarge number of strong- 
growing, late-maturing varieties such as Sir Walter Raleigh, Rural 
New Yorker No. 2, Carman No. 3, Heavy Weight, and Pioneer 
Rural. They are practically identical. The tubers are white, oval 
flattened, and regular in form. Collectively they are often referred 
to as “blue sprout” Potatoes. Recommended for heavier soils 
and where Potatoes are grown under least favorable conditions. 
Tolerant of heat and drought; tubers keep well in storage and are 
slow to sprout in the spring. Table quality is excellent. 
ESSEX 
Introduced in 1947 by Cornell Agricultural Experiment Station. 
More blight resistant than any of the other commercial varieties 
and can be grown without spraying, except with DDT for insects. 
Essex is midseason in maturity, with very vigorous, dark green, 
rough foliage. Tubers very white, short and thick. Yield is ex- 
ceptionally high.
