“Sir Walter Raleigh” Potato. 
A Grand Main Crop Variety. Mr. Carman’s Best Seedling, 
IR WALTER RALEIGH is the best of the late Mr. Car- 
man’s introductions,and Mr.Carman has raised some of 
the best and most popular varieties, notably the great 
pairs, Rural Blush and Rural New-Yorker No. 2, and the 
Carman Nos.1 and3. 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 sixdays 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, excelling even the Snowflake. It is 
unquestionably the best of its type, and will soon supersede 
all others for main crop. (See cut.) Price, 75c. peck, 
$2.25 bush., $4.50 per bbl. of 165 Ibs. net. By express 
or freight at purchaser’s expense.

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 Wal- 
ter Raleigh’ Mr. Carman has excelled all his previous efforts.”’

“Uncle Sam.” 
/t 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. 
/t Outyields all other Potatoes nearly two to one. 
Its Shape and Size are wonderfully uniform. 
NGLE SAM possesses more desirable qualities 
than any other Potato. /ts cropping qualities 
are phenomenal, and we believe it to be the 
heaviest yielding Potato known, not even except- 
ing several varieties worthless in every other 
respect than their heavy cropping qualities—vari- 
eties which produce coarse, waxy and unpala- 
table tubers. On clay or heavy soils ‘‘Uncle 
Sam”’’ is not a satisfactory Potato and is apt to 
get coarse and unshapely, but on a loam 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 the 
Potatoes, nearly all sizing up alike, none too large 
and few too small, but zts crowning merit ts its 
superb cooking qualities, which will ultimately 
place ‘‘Uncle Sam’’ on every table where qual- 
ity in Potatoes is appreciated. Its handsome, 
pure white, floury appearance attracts the atten- 
tion 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. Thetubersare oval, with pure white-rus- 
set skin, with very shallow eyes near the surface, 
and are so handsome in appearanceand perfect in 
formthatthey willalways bringan enhanced price 
upon the market. (See cut.) Price, 70c. peck, 
$2.00 bushel, $4.25 per bbl. of 165 Ibs. net.
