UNCLE SAM POTATO 



The Handsomest Potato Grown. Quality Perfect — White, Dry and Floury 



Uncle Sam is a particularly fine Potato with phenomenal cropping 

 qualities. We believe it to be the heaviest yielding variety grown. 

 On a loam or sandy soil it is a wonder in yield and quality. The 

 crop averages remarkably regular in size and shape. Its appear- 

 ance and superb quality when served satisfy the most fastidious, 

 its flaky snow-white appearance gaining instant favor. 



• The tubers are oval shaped, with light russet skin, very even in 

 outline and with shallow eyes. Its handsome appearance and 

 perfect form alwavs ensure a fancy price on the market. 80c. peck, 

 $2.75 bushel, $5.50 barrel. 



"Out of a peck of Uncle Sam Potatoes I raised 1,100 pounds." 



JOS. A. BAKER, Fort Benton, Mont. 

 " The Uncle Sam Potato, of which I purchased seed from you in 1896, is the 

 leading Potato around here still." JOHN HENDERSON, Redfield, Me. 



Improved GKEEN MOUNTAIN Potato 



A reliable medium late Potato which is rapidly increasing in 

 popularity — in fact, in some sections it has superseded all other 

 main crop varieties. It seems to thrive in all soils and in all locali- 

 ties, making heavy, healthy vines, and yielding big crops of large, 

 smooth, white skinned tubers of handsome flatfish oval form. It 

 cooks white, dry and mealy, and has a desirable flavor exclusively 

 its own. It keeps well, and is not liable to scab or decay. {See en- 

 graving.) 75c. peck, $2.50 bushel, $5.25 barrel. 



"The Green Mountain Potatoes I bought from you two years ago, gave far better 

 results than Potatoes purchased from local dealers."
