GREEN MOUNTAIN 
Has the reputation of making big crops 
and on practically any kind of soil, pro- 
ducing uniformly large, handsome, smooth, 
oval-shaped Potatoes with white skin, with 
very few small potatoes. Medium late. 
Not susceptible to disease. 
Certified Grown 
HOUMA 
Originated by the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. Matures about as 
early as the Chippewa and about a week 
earlier than Green Mountain. Tubers 
short and thick, glossy white, skin smooth, 
eyes very shallow except at bud end. Re- 
sistant to yellow dwarf and mosaic; also 
to heat injury. Adapted to the lighter 
soils and conditions favorable to the Green 
Mountain. In yield tests, it generally 
equals or exceeds the Green Mountain. 
Quality rating, excellent. 
Certified Grown 
IRISH COBBLER 
The most outstand- 
ing variety for mar- 
ket gardeners. Earli- 
est maturing and 
most dependable for 
both Spring and Sum- 
mer planting. 
Irish 
Cobbler 
Its popularity is 
due to its extreme 
earliness, making few, 
if any, very small 
Potatoes — practically 
all being medium to 
large size. 
The tubers are 
round to oval in 
shape, slightly flat- 
tened, and have 
strong, well devel- 
oped eyes.

SEBAGO 
Originated by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture. A high-yielding variety some- 
what later than the Rurals. Smooth, white, 
shallow-eyed tubers thicker than Chippewa 
and of high table quality. Large, vigorous 
foliage resistant to heat and drought, also re- 
sistant to blight, yellow dwarf and scab. 
Especialiy desirable where blight occurs fre- 
quently or where spraying is omitted. Try 
a few of this new proved variety. 
Certified Grown 
WARBA 
A seedling of Bliss Triumph from the Min- 
nesota Experiment Station, with smooth 
white skin and pink eyes. Earlier than the 
Cobbler, a heavy yielder, and immune to mo- 
saic disease. If your soil is not heavy we sug- 
gest trying a few Warbas for early market. 
Certified Grown 
KATAHDIN 
The Long Keeping Potato 
Originated by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture and promises to become the out- 
standing medium late Potato for market or 
storage. Originated in Maine and in yields 
has consistently surpassed Rural New Yorker 
and Green Mountain, producing a much 
higher percentage of No. 1 Potatoes. The 
Katahdin produces a smooth tuber of excel- 
lent shape and the ability to maintain this 
desirable shape under adverse soil and cli- 
matic conditions is an important charac- 
teristic of this new variety. 
This variety, like the Chippewa, has very 
shallow eyes, with crisp white flesh and dis- 
tinctly desirable cooking qualities which 
appeals to the housewife. It is highly resist- 
ant to disease and one of the best keeping 
Potatoes on the market today.

RUSSETS 
Late, has rusty skin and few eyes. One of 
the very best Potatoes, almost blight proof, 
vines very strong and vigorous and produce 
immense yields of handsome round, white 
Potatoes. 
Certified Grown 
CHIPPEWA 
Their smooth appearance and fine table 
quality give them preference over all other 
varieties for Spring planting. 
This outstanding Potato was developed by 
the United States Dept. of Agriculture with 
the object in view of having a Potato 10 days 
later but with the general features of the 
Cobbler, with shallow eyes, instead of the 
deep eyes of the Cobbler. Chippewa is 
resistant to disease, and in official tests from 
Maine to Florida it has yielded consistently 
higher than Cobbler and Green Mountain. 
Certified Grown 
RED BLISS 
To those who prefer a Potato with a pink 
skin and white flesh, we recommend Red 
Bliss. It is one of the very earliest, nearly 
round, peels without waste and a fine yielder. 
It is a sure and uniform cropper, a strong 
grower, is of good size, cooks white and 
mealy and measures up to every requirement 
of a first-class first early Potato. 
Certified Grown 
KENNEBECK 
Our reports indicate that this variety is 
one of the finest high yielding blight resisting 
Potatoes yet introduced. Tubers similar 
but more elongated than Katahdin. Nice, 
smooth white skin of the finest quality. 
Immune to ordinary late blight, apparently 
very widely adapted and stores unusually 
well; yields of extra large size, tubers are 
phenomenal. Introduced by Maine Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station in 1948. 
Certified Grown 
RED PONTIAC 
The Red Pontiac; same general descrip- 
tion as the Pontiac, except characteristically 
darker red. 
Certified Grown 
PONTIAC 
Matures about with Katahdin (110 to 
120 days). Tubers similar in appearance to 
Bliss Triumph, one of its parents, but darker 
red; very high yield of very fine quality. 
Cooks white and very popular with the 
Home and Market Gardener. Excellent 
storage quality. Introduced by the Michi- 
gan Agricultural Experiment Station in 1938. 
Dust or spray your Potatoes. Home and 
Market Gardeners all recognize from expe- 
rience the increased yields and better quality 
by dusting or spraying.
