More POTATOES 
Through Use of Good Seed 
One of the easiest and best ways to obtain more Potatoes per 
acre is through the use of sound, healthy Certified Seed Potatoes. 
Good Certified Seed Potatoes are those grown especially for 
seed purposes. They are free, or practically free, from serious 
seed-borne diseases, true to name, and selected for high yields. 
Further, they are harvested at the right time, handled carefully, 
stored properly and shipped under the best conditions. 
A blue tag marked Certified Seed Potatoes is attached to each 
bag, which must pass rigid tests and inspections by the State 
of Maine. Certified Seed Potatoes in the long run can be count- 
ed on to give nearly twice the yield of ordinary Potatoes.
