We have had the honor of introducing many new varieties of Potatoes which 
have attained popularity and reputation, yet, never in our long experience did 
we introduce one with such assurance that it was destined to become the most 
popular and leading variety. Without hesitation, we predict that ‘‘ UNCLE 
SAM” will out-distance all competitors, as it possesses in a marked degree 
more desirable qualities than any other Potato.

IT OUTYIELDS all other Potatoes nearly two to one! 
ITS SHAPE AND SIZE are wonderfully uniform.

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 
qualities—varieties which produce coarse, waxy and unpalatable tubers, 
In the season 1895, 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 between ninety and one hundred per cent., or nearly 
double the erop per acre of these well-known varieties. 
But, aside from its productiveness, which is largely attributable to the 
uniform size of the Potatoes, nearly all sizing up alike,none too large and few 
too small, 
Its crowning merit is its 
superb cooking qualities, 
Person which will ultimately place ‘‘UNCLE SAM” on every table where quality in 
00> Potatoes is appreciated. Regarding the excellence of its cooking qualities, we 
Shouldiolanteaee d speak from our own personal experience, for never did we have so fine a flavored
