Isbell's New Early Potato, White Gold Potatoes
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. ½ pk., 40c; pk., 70c; ½ bu., $1.25; bu., $2.25.
