Sir Walter I^aieigh Potato. 



A Grand Main Crop Variety. Mr. Carman's Best Seedling 



SIR 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 and 3. In most respects it closely re- 

 sembles Rural New-Yorker No. 2, but is more uniform and 

 yields practically no small tubers, every one being market- 

 able. 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, excelling even the Snow- 

 flake. It is unquestionably the best of its type, and will 

 soon supersede all others for main crop. (See cut.) Price, 

 75c. pk., $2.25 bush., $4.75 per bbl. of 165 lbs. net. By 

 express or freight at purchaser's expense. 



Those who have tried our Sir Walter Raleigh Potatoes write : 



"Your Sir Walter Raleigh Potatoes turned out well. They are a good 

 eating Potato." 



L. MA YER, Roxbury Sta., Ct. 



"Sir Walter Raleigh proved to be exceptionally fine — 10 quarts of 

 seed with no special attention yielded 4h bushels of as fine potatoes as can 

 be grown" 



E.K. SHULTZ, Moweaqua. Ills. 

 "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, of fine quality and very 

 few small ones!* 



S. O. BENJAMIN, Aquebogue, Long Island, N. Y. 



°L u ^f" e e t w Best Methods of Growing Potatoes^ 



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 other Potato. Its cropping qual- 

 ities are phenomenal , and we believe it to be 

 the heaviest-yielding Potato known, not even ex- 

 cepting 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 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 sur- 

 face, and are so handsome in appearance and 

 perfect in form that they will always bring an 

 enhanced price upon the market. (See cut.) 

 Price, 75c. pk., $2.25 bush., $4.75 per bbl. of 165 

 lbs. net. By express or freight at purchaser's 

 expense. 



Those who have grown Uncle Sam Potatoes 

 write : 



"/ am happy to state that we like your Uncle Sam Potatoes 

 very much. Their table quality is unsurpassed, and they out- 

 yielded every other variety we planted." 



AMOS G. GRAY, North Cambridge, Mass. 

 "I bought ten pounds of your Uncle Sam, and it has proved to 

 be a good yielder with me. I have twenty-one bushels grown from 

 the ten pounds of seed."
