MAIN CROP 
POTATOES VARIETY, 
“Un6l6 Sam.” 
It is the handsomest Potato grown, 
ITS COOKING QUALITIES 
are Superiop—WHITE, DRY AND FLOURY. 
A luxuriant healthy grower, free from 
disease, blight, scab or rote. +eeerees 
IT OUTYIELDS all other Potatoes nearly two to one! 
ITS SHAPE AND SIZE are wonderfully uniform. 
‘UNCLE SAM” possesses more desirable 
qualities than any other Potato. Its cropping 
qualities are phenomenal, and we believe it to 
be the heaviest yielding Potato known, not 
even excepting several varieties worthless in 
every other respect than their heavy cropping TTT TW 
qualities—varieties which produce coarse, waxy ie mae aes 
and unpalatable tubers. A well-known Potato grower and expert in New York State grew on his farm, under the same soil conditions 
and cultivation, ‘‘UNCLE SAM,” Rural New-Yorker No. 2, The Great Divide and Irish Daisy, and on digging and weighing the crops 
was astonished to find that ‘UNCLE SAM” had outyielded all nearly double the crop per acre. Its productiveness is largely attribu- 
table to the uniform size of the Potatoes, nearly all sizing up alike, none too large and few too small, but its crowning merit 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 Rural New- 
Yorker No. 2, and has most luxuriant foliage, completely shading the ground. The tubers are oval with pure white russet skin, with 
very shallow eyes near the surface, and are so handsome in appearance and perfect in form that they will always bring an enhanced 
price upon the market. (Seecut.) Price, 75c. peck, $2.50 bushel, $5.00 bbl.
