CHIPPEWA POTATOES—Certified, Maine Grown 
Their smooth appearance and fine table quality give them preference over 
all other varieties for spring planting. Since we introduced the Chippewa 
Potato it has won many prizes at the Virginia State Fair. This outstanding 
potato was developed by the U. S. Government of Agriculture with the 
object in view of having a potato with the general features of the Cob- 
bler, extra earliness, but with shallow eyes instead of the deep eyes of 
the Cobbler. Chippewa is resistant to disease, and in official tests from 
Maine to Florida has yielded consistently higher than Cobblers and Green 
Mountains. Maturity slightly later than Irish Cobbler.

MAINE GROWN IRISH COBBLER POTATOES—Certified 
Probably the most popular potato with the larger growers, .due to its 
early maturity, making its crop in 90 to 100 days. It is grown extensively 
in 18 out of 21 states, comprising the main crop region. For an early 
crop of potatoes for the home garden, there is none better than the Irish 
Cobbler. 
RED BLISS—Certified 
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 early potato. Has pink skin and white flesh. 
KATAHDIN POTATOES—Certified, Maine Grown 
Very popular in the southern states, as well as many localities in the 
Northeast. An outstanding medium late potato for market or storage. In 
yield it has constantly surpassed other varieties. Tubers are smooth skin- 
ned, large round uniform size with few very shallow eyes. Most desirable 
for eating. Highly resistant to disease, having crisp white flesh, particularly 
free from internal discoloration, with fine cooking and keeping qualities. 
Highly recommended for either spring or late planting. 
KENNEBEC POTATOES—Certified, Maine Grown 
A fairly new variety, highly resistant to late blight, wild mosaic and net 
necrosis. Very vigorous growing, high yielding, late maturing. In tests for 
five years at Presque Isle, Maine, it outyielded Green Mountains 19 bushels 
of U. S. No. 1 potatoes per acre. In the same test it outyielded consider- 
ably practically all other varieties.

WOOD’S CERTIFIED TOBACCO SEEDS 
It is customary to burn a piece of land in the woods for plant beds. This destroys grass, weeds and insects, adds fertility through the action of 
the wood ashes, and leaves the ground in good order. The seeds are sown in January and February and protected by plant-bed cloth to keep off 
tobacco flies. When large enough and weather is settled (about June), set the plants out in highly manured or fertilized soil in 3!/.-foot rows, 3 
feet between the plants. Constant care must be given, cultivating, suckering, worming, etc. An ounce will produce plants for 3 to 4 acres. One 
ounce will plant 100 to 150 square yards of plant bed.
