CANADIAN
CERTIFIED SEED
A TAKE plans early this year to harvest a bumper crop of smooth,
xVJL clean, high-quality potatoes. Good seed is the first require
ment for an excellent crop . . . because only good seed will grow
vigorous plants, plants that can withstand most of the serious
diseases common to potatoes.
Canadian Certified Seed Potatoes are good seed potatoes. By
planting them, many of the losses due to disease will be avoided ,..
higher-quality, cleaner, smoother, more uniform potatoes than
those grown from ordinary seed stock will be produced.
So, this season, harvest finer potatoes—and more of them. Plant Can
adian Certified Seed. Grow potatoes that will grade Canada No. 1.
Canadian Certified Seed Potatoes are available in all standard
varieties. Be sure to select the variety most suitable for your
locality! Ask the local District Government Inspector, Plant Pro
tection Division, for full information and list of nearest distributors.
Food supplies are important in wartime —
This year, plant and raise only the best.
