SIR WALTER RALEIGH. 



Sir Walter Raleigh. 



Esteemed bv many as 

 the bfst of Mr. Car- 

 mian's productions, sur- 

 passing such fine kinds 

 as Rural New Yorker, 

 Carman's No. 3, Rural 

 Blush, etc., all of which 

 were originated by hira. 

 The introducers say "it 

 closely resembles Rural 

 New Yorker No. 2, but 

 is more uniform and 

 yields practically no 

 small tubers, every one 

 being marketable. 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." 



Green [Mountain. Pos- 

 sesses many good quali- 

 ties, among which may 

 be specially noted power 

 of resistance to drought, 

 great productiveness of 

 tubers, of uniform size 

 and appearance, thrift 

 on poor soil without 

 much tertilization, fi-ee- 

 dom from disease be- 

 fore digging, free- 

 dom from rot in the 

 cellar and admirable 

 keeping qualities, [t is 

 a white variety of fine 

 appearance and one of the best for winter crop. 



C/\R^AN'S NO. 3. 



Introduced in 1896 and 

 said to be the hand- 

 somest large potato, 

 to out-yield every oth- 

 er, all potatoes of mar- 

 ketable size and super- 

 ior quality — which 

 claims have been sus- 

 tained by trial, to an 

 exceptional degree. 

 The tubers are white, 

 without hollow 

 CARMAN NO. 3. or black heart and are 



superior keepers. A very valuable variety. 



GREEN MOUNTAIN. 



MAGGIE MURPHY. 



IMaffffie I>lurphy. 



The greatest yieldei- 

 and the most profit- 

 able lat" potato 

 especially for a light 

 soil. The old original 

 Maggie Murphy has 

 been greatly improv- 

 ed by careful selec- 

 tion and high cul 

 ture. The seed I 

 offer is the new or 

 improved type. In 

 field trial, with 

 twenty other popu- 

 lar varieties, it was 



by far the most productive of them all — producing 

 more large, handsome potatoes than any other. Vine, 

 of strong and vigorous growth, blight proof, remains 

 ing green up to maturity. Tubers average large- 

 with very few small ones, of perfect form. Skin a 

 deep pink with russet markings; eyes fiush with the 

 surface. It is of excellent quality and a very superior 

 keeper; and owing to its fine appearance always com- 

 mands a ready sale. 



RURAL NEW YORK- 

 ER NO. 2. A round 

 white potato, very 

 productive and free 

 from blight. The tu- 

 b e r s are large, re- 

 markably smooth with 

 very few eyes; skin 

 and flesh both white 

 and possessing excell- 

 ent table qualities. 

 Noted for vigorous 

 growth and disease- 

 resisting properties. 



RURAL NEW YORKER NO. 2. 



RURAL BLUSH. An 



old variety, but one that 

 si yet very profitable in 

 New Jersey for a winter 

 crop. Tubers average 

 large, deep blush or pink 

 in color, and unsurphssed 

 keepers. Quality is good 

 and the yield enoi- 

 mous. It should not be 

 planted far North as 

 the tubers cook of a 

 dusky uninviting color rural blush. 



when grown there and consequently uninviting. 



SPECIAL POTATO COLLECTIONS. 



To enable planters to try mxj superior seed at a small cost, I offer the following collections, each carefully labeled: 

 No. I. POUND COLLECTION. $i.oo. No. 2. PECK COLLECTION. $3.50. 



One pound each of the nine varieties described, by ex- One peck each of the nine varieties described, by express 

 press or freight. or freight. 



To enable those who wish to secure a start in some of 

 the above varieties, at a trifling cost I cut and prepare 

 eyes for mailing so they will keep in good growing con- 

 dition for several weeks {in struct ions for keeping and 

 planting sent with each order for ei.'es) and guarantee 

 safe arrival at any post ofRce in the United States. I 

 have had several years experience with sending potato 

 eyes by mail, and have successfully sent them to all 

 parts of the country. 



1 will send by mail, postpaid, good strong eyes of 

 any of the above named potatoes, as follows: 1 doz. 

 eyes for 20c; 25 for 30c; 50 for 50c; 100 (sufficient to 

 produce 2 bu. of potatoes) for 75c. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, 50 eyes for 30c; 100 for 50c. 



Lafayette Co.. Mo., Jan. 1, 189S. 

 Th 1 seeds and potato eyes I purcbased or you last spring 

 gav« perfect satisfaction and In spite of the dry season the 

 potato eyes made a good crop, while another crop on the 

 same piece of ground failed. Wm, Eobs. 



Tompkins Co., N. Y., Jan. 13, 1893. 

 The seeds purchased of you last spring grew nicely. The 

 potatoes grown from the potato eyes were very nice, and 

 I have saved them to plant this spring.
