German Kartofiel. French, Pomme de Terre. 



TEN BUSHELS CUT TUBERS TO THE ACRE. 



The Potato may be grown with varying suc- 

 cess on soils of all kinds, but the soil best suited 

 to it is sandy loam. But little manure is re- 

 quired if the soil is good. 



We deliver all potatoes f. o. b. cars, no extra 

 charge being made for barrels. All Potatoes are 

 shipped at purchaser's risk. Prices subject to 

 variation. 



THE MILWAUKEE. 



Yields more than any other. Unsurpassed in fine 



cooking qualities. 

 By far the best early Potato we have ever seen. 



It is a strong grower with very strong tops, 

 comes into use fully as early as Early Sunrise, 

 yielding, however, a much larger crop than 

 that variety, and has the further merit of being 

 a first-class keeper, and may be depended upon 

 to remain in good condition without sprouting 

 until very late in the season. If grown in rich, 

 loam it will produce a very heavy crop of handsome, 

 tubers of very fine quality. And not the least of its 

 qualities is the fact 

 that it is almost en- 

 tirely Rust Proof.

 SNOWFLAKE JR., 

 THE MILWAU- 

 KEE, CARMAN No. 

 3, RED RIVER 

 OHIO. 



1896, 



SNOWFLAKE JUNIOR. 



Conceded to be the Best 

 Main Crop Potato on the 

 market. The nearest Bug- 

 Proof Potato known. By far 

 the largest Cropper, with 

 . clean, shallow eyes. Cooks 

 very dry and mealy. - 



Resembles the old favor- 

 ite snowflake very much in 

 appearance and in cooking 

 qualities. It is, however, 

 much more prolific and has 

 the further merit of being 

 the nearest to BUG-PROOF 

 of any Potato we have ever 

 grown, the bugs only at- 

 tacking it after all other 

 varieties in sight have been 

 disposed of, and then only 

 in very small numbers, so 

 that they could easily be 

 taken care of. As an all- 

 round family or market po- 

 tato, in size and shape, we 

 consider this one perfect. It 

 is handsome in appearance, 

 grows to a large size, clear 

 white, cooks evenly and 

 mealy and possessing that 

 desirable flavor peculiar to 

 the Snowflake. The tops are 

 remarkably strong- growing 

 upright, color dark green. 

 Mr. Carman in his potato 

 trials on the Rural New 

 found it by far the largest 



SNOWFLAKE JUNIOR. 



yielder of any variety grown, yielding at the rate of 645% 

 bushels to the acre. Peck 50c; bushel $1.50; barrel 

 $4.00. 



Red River Early Ohio — It is generally conceded 



that Early Ohio is the most popular Potato in 



this country. Eastern stocks of it are run out 



so badly that in order to get renewed vigor 



and purity we have them grown in the Red 



River Valley, famous for the excellent quality 



, of the Potatoes it produces. One has only to 



| see the stock to at once realize how superior 



I - it is. The greatest care is taken in the selec- 



B tion of the seed, so that we have a stock of this 



B old favorite that is perfect. Peck 50c; bushel 



| $1.50; barrel $4.00 



Lakeside Champion — A late white variety, matur- 

 ing, along with Burbank and resembling in 

 appearance the well-known Beauty of Hebron. 

 It is, however, longer and larger than that va- 

 riety, very productive and remarkably fine- 

 grained, possessing the finest keeping qualities. 

 When cooked they are nice flavored, dry and 

 mealy. It is a strong bug resister, and does 

 remarkably well on thin, poor land. Peck 50c; 

 bush. $1.50; bbl $4.00 



Carman No. 3 — A seedling raised by Mr. Carman. 

 It is of perfect form, even in dry seasons, al- 

 most every potato being- of uniform size and 

 shape. It has very shallow eyes, which are very 

 few in number. The skin and flesh are ex- 

 tremely white, -with no hollow or dark parts; 

 a handsome Potato and enormously prolific; 

 cooking qualities very fine. Peck 50c; bushel 

 $1.50; barrel $4.00
