Uncle Sam has established its
reputation as one of the most
desirable varieties. It is of excel-
lent flavor, which alone would
be sufficient commendation for
family use, but in addition it has
probably more points of excel-
lence than any one variety. The
vines are medium in height, very
robust, and stand up well till the
last cultivation. This vigorous
habit renders it strongly resistant
to blight, scab and other diseases
to which many varieties succumb.
It produces a heavy crop of re-
markably even-sized and smooth
tubers. Indeed.no variety exceeds
it in uniformity of product. There
are many varieties on the market
that will produce a heavier crop,
but none that will yield such an
abundant store of perfect Pota-
toes. It is medium to late in season, ripening its crop in ample time to harvest it under the most favorable conditions. The tubers are
oval shaped, with white skin and very shallow eyes, which makes peeling easy. They are perfect in form, handsome in appearance, while
their attractive, white, mealy character, when prepared for table, compels instant attention. (See cut.) Price, 75c. peck, $2.50 bushel,
$5.00 barrel of 165 pounds net. By express or freight at customer's expense.
'/ raised forty bushels of the Uncle Sam Potatoes from one barrel last summer.
We hope to do better still this year." KLEBER A. EDWARDS, Providence. R. I.
"Out of two barrels of Uncle Sam Potatoes, I harvested 33 barrels. They are the
great yielders you claim them to be." LEON DESPLAND, Daytona, Fla.
