Irish Cobbler
The Irish Cobbler is creamy white, nearly round in shape. A little later than Ohio, but a heavier yielder. Continued heavy crops have earned Irish Cobbler the name of “old reliable.” Very close planting is possible because of upright vine growth. It is a favorite variety on Long Island and in Maine. Also is grown quite extensively in Michigan. Often grown on muck for a main crop.

Isbell's New Early Potato, White Gold
White Gold Potato was originated from a seedling in Northern Minnesota where it was developed after six years of effort. It is a large, oval, white potato with very shallow eyes and smooth skin. It is more than a week earlier than the standard early sorts like Cobbler and Early Ohio, but yields like a late potato. Last season was not favorable for early potatoes as the hot dry weather cut down the yield. In spite of this, White Gold yielded from 100 to 150 bushels per acre. Under favorable conditions White Gold has yielded 400 bushels per acre in Minnesota. Last year we offered seed of this wonderful new potato for the third season and we were unable to supply the demand. Our stock was exhausted early and many of our customers were disappointed because they were unable to obtain seed. From the indications now there is going to be a tremendous demand again this year and our stock will certainly not last throughout the season. For this reason we strongly urge our customers to order this seed early. ˝ pk., 40c; pk., 70c; ˝ bu., $1.25; bu., $2.25.

Katahdin
This new potato was originated in Maine by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. It takes its name from Mt. Katahdin near which it was developed. The government has spent $250,000.00 during the last eight years in producing this new variety. Katahdin is a round or slightly oval white potato, very smooth, with very shallow eyes. The vines are light green and vigorous. So far no trace of mosaic has been found on plants of katahdin. It ripens about a week earlier than Late Petoskey and White Rural. It has consistently outyielded Rural New Yorker and Green Mountain, and grades out with a smaller per cent of No. 2 grade and culls. The type is very uniform and in cooking and eating qualities it is unsurpassed. Katahdin does well on rich peat soils and on muck. This is the first time we have handled seed of this variety and the supply is limited. We offer this seed in small quantities only and subject to being unsold. 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 15 lbs. (peck), $1.25.

Late Petoskey or Russet Rural
This variety has been the standard late variety of Michigan but of late is losing favor somewhat because it is not as white in color as the market demands. When grown on light colored sandy soils, the skin is very light in color and it has a fine appearance. When grown on dark loam or clay soils, the color is not so good. It is recognized as the best winter keeper and as the heaviest yielding sort as well as a good cooking variety.
