CARMEN NUMBER 3. 
raised by Mr. Carmen. Its average form 
is shown in the cut. It is of perfect form, 
even in dry seasons, almost every potato 
being of uniform size and shape, averaging a 
pound each in weight. It has but few eyes 
and they are very shallow. Theskin and flesh 
are extremely white, no hollow or dark parts, 
and its cooking qualities are exceptionally 
fine; a remarkably handsome potato and 
enormously prolific. In many respects this 
potato resembles the well-known and popular 
Rural New-Yorker No. 2, but is destined. to 
supersede that well-known variety. (See cut.) 
$1.00 peck, $3.50 bush., $7.00 bbl. 
CARMEN NUMBER 1. Another new seed- 
ling potato, raised by Mr. E. S. Carmen, 
editor of The Rural New-Yorker. It wasintro- 
duced two years ago and created a sensation 
on account of its very large size, uniform 
shape, handsome appearance and immense 
yield. Its cooking qualities are peerless.

CALHOUN. We have given this variety a very thorough distribution and wherever heard Fame AT NO

side color is a creamy brown;\ the inside flesh is a deep salmon yellow ; the flesh is wonder- j 
fully thick and fine-grained, and the seed cavity very small. It cooks very yellow and 
makes pies of a high rich color and of the finest quality. This varietyis en- ATE Ae 
tirely fixed in its character, every specimen being uniform in shape. Any SR
