Unele Sam Potato. 



The handsomest Potato groom. Quality 

 perfect. White, dry, and floury. Pro- 

 digious cropper. Very uniform in size. 



T jNCLE SAM is a particularly fine potato with 

 M 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. Its productiveness is largely attrib- 

 utable to its uniformity — the crop shows a re- 

 markable regularity in size, none too large and 

 few too small. Its appearance and superb qual- 

 ity when served will 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 al- 

 ways ensure a fancv price on the market. (See 

 cut.) Price, 75c. pk.; $2.50 bush.; $5.00 per 

 bbl. of 165 lbs. net. By express or freight at 

 purchaser's expense. 



" The Uncle Sam Potato ukich I bought from you -in 1896 

 is the leading potato around here still." — JOHN HENDER- 

 SON, Readfield, Maine. 



"From one peck of your Uncle Sam Potatoes I raised 1,100 

 pounds."— JOS. A. BAKER, Fort Benton, Mont. 



"We like your Uncle Sam Potatoes very much. Their table 

 quality is unsurpassed, and they outyielded every other variety 

 we planted."— AMOS G. GRAY, North Cambridge, Mass. 



" I consider your Uncle Sam Potato far superior to any that 

 I have ever seen — not only in Quality, but in the quantity grown 

 per acre."— A. A. HUNGERFORD. Rural Hill, N. Y. 



Sir Walter Raleigh 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 was most 

 successful in raising and introducing many varieties 

 of superlative quality. It is a grand main crop variety, 

 of vigorous growth, and is a tremendous cropper. 



It is unique in quality, being the whitest fleshed and finest 



grained potato grown, excelling even the famous Snowflake 



. in this respect. The tubers are almost round, white, 



• with smooth skin, and, like Uncle Sam, exhibit a peculiar 



uniformity in size. No better potato for general use was 



j ever introduced, and we commend it to all growers. (See 



cut.) Price, 75c. pk., $2.50 bush., $5.00 per bbl. of 165 



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



Those who have grown our Sir Walter Raleigh Potatoes write: 



" From the barrel of Sir Walter Raleigh Potatoes I purchased from you 

 last Spring I dug 78 bushels, which I think was a very good yield consid- 

 ering the season; they are of fine quality and run uniformly of good, large 

 size."— C. L. BEEBE, Elyria, Ohio. 



"I cannot withhold my testimony of the value of your Raleigh Potatoes. 

 We got them from you three years ago; they outyield everything in the potato 

 line in this part of the country, and are the finest, mealiest potatoes we ever 

 ate."— A. E. YANDEWATER, Blairsville, Pa. 



"Your Sir Walter Raleigh Potatoes turned out well. It is a good 

 eating Potato." — L. MAYER, 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.

Improved Green JVIoantain Potato. 



A RELIABLE medium late potato increasing in popularity where 

 known — in fact, having in some sections superseded all other main 

 crop varieties. It seems to thrive in all soils and in all localities, 

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

 white-skinned tubers of handsome "flattish oval form. It cooks white, 

 dry and mealy, with a desirable flavor exclusively its own. A good 

 keeper, not liable to scab or decav in field or cellar. 



Price, 70c. pk.; $2.25 bush.; $4.50 per bbl. of 165 lbs. net. By 

 express or freight at purchaser's expense.
