UNCLE SAM"
It is the handsomest Potato grown.
ITS COOKING QUALITIES are Superior
—WHITE, DRY and FLOURY.
A Luxuriant, Healthy Grower, free
from Disease, Blight, Scab or Rot.
It outyields all other Potatoes nearly two to one.
Its shape and size are wonderfully uniform.
"UNCLE SAM"
Possesses more desirable qualities than any
otlier Potato. Its cropping qualities are phe-
nomenal, and we believe it to be the heaviest
yielding Potato known, not even excepting
several varieties worthless in every other re-
spect than their heavy cropping qualities —
varieties which produce coarse, waxy and un-
palatable tubers. On clay or heavy soils
"UNCLE SAM" is not a satisfactory Potato
and is apt to get coarse and unshapely, but on
a loain or sandy soil there is no Potato which
will outyield it or give more satisfactory results.
Its productiveness is largely attributable to the
uniform size of he Potatoes, nearly all sizing
up alike, none too "irge and few too small, but
its crowning niei. is its superb cooking
qualities, which will ultimately place "UNCLE
SAM " on every table where quality in Potatoes
is appreciated. Its handsome, pure white, floury
appearance attracts the attention of all. It is a
medium late variety, ripening along with Bural
New-Yorker No. 2, and has most luxuriant foli-
age, completely shading the ground. The tubers
are oval, with pure white russet skin, with very
shallow eyes near the surface, and are so hand-
some in appearance and perfect in form that they
will always bring an enhanced price upon the
market. (See cut.) 60c. peck, $2.00 bushel,
$4.00 bbl.

A GRAND MAIN CROP POTATO.
Mr. Carman's best Seedling raised from
his Rural New-Yorker No. 2.
A GRAND IMPROVEMENT OVER ITS PARENT.
SIR •WALTER RALEIGH is the best ot
Mr. Carman's iutroduoLions, and Mr. Carman
has raised some of the best and most popular
varieties, notably the great pairs, Eural Blush
and Rural New-Yorker No. 2, and the Carman
No. 1 and No. 3. In most respects it closely
resembles Rural New-Yorker No. 2, but Is more
uniform and yields practically no small tubers,
every one being marketable. It is from four to
six days later than the Rural New-Yorker; the
color of the skin is the same, but the flesh is
whiter and of better quality ; in fact, it is the
whitest-fleshed and finest-grained Potato, ex-
celling even the Snowflake. It is unquestlon-
ably the best of its type, and will soon super-
sede all others for main crop. .See cut.)

Those who have tried our " Sir Walter
Raleigh" Potatoes write:
■■/ am of a decided opinion that 'Sir Walter Raleigh'
will he the coming Potato for main crop. It has certainly
far exceeded my expectations. I have grown all of Mr.
Carman's Potatoes, and believe that in '.Sir Walter Ra-
leigh' Mr. Carman has excelled all his previous elTorts."
J. L. COXOVER, Wickatunk, .Monmouth Co.. N. J.
"The 'Sir Walter Raleigh' is a great yielder; all large
Potatoes, no small ones; vines grow strong and upright."
C. W. BEARDSLEY, Milford, Conn,
" 'Sir Walter Raleigh ' is an immense yielder.offine qual-
ity and very few small ones."
S. O. BENJAMIN, Aquehogue, Long Island, S.Y.
".it present, ALL things considered, we are inclined to
regard the 'Sir Walter Raleigh' as the best Potato we
have ever tried."
