CARMAN POTATO, NO. 3. 



CARMAN No, 3. The fame of this potato is 

 abroad in the land wherever Editor Carman, 

 of the Rural New Yorker, is linown. Like 

 "Carman No. 1," it is a seedling from seed- 

 iinffs, and it resembles that variety in having 

 few and shallow eyes. Without any ap- 

 proach to an exception It is the greatest 

 yielder ever introduced! It may fairly be 

 claimed that it does not yield any small 

 tubers at all. It bears its tubers very close 

 to the plant, a single turn of the fork turning 

 out every potato. It is of the largest size 

 and of the shapeliest form, as will be seen 

 from our illustration. It is a perfect keeper> 

 that is, it will not sprout up to planting time, 

 unless kept in a warm place. Both skin and 

 flesh are of extreme whiteness. Eyes few 

 and shallow. Late in ripening. The intro- 

 ducer says our claims for "Carman No, 3" 

 are: 1st. It is the handsomest large potato 

 ever produced. 2d. It will out-yield any 

 other potato whatever. 3d. Practically every 

 potato is of marketable size. 4th. Its table 

 qualities are fully up to the highest standard, 

 it has no hollow hearts, and no dark parts. 

 We are confident that it will soon be the most 

 popular variety for field culture, on account 

 of its enormous productiveness and great 

 beauty. Per pk. 60 cts., bu. $1.50, 



I GREAT DIVIDE, 



I 



GREAT DIVIDE. This new main crop varieiy 

 introduced by Mr. Burpee, is an oblong to 

 long white potato, eyes plentiful and found 

 near the surface, giving it a very handsome 

 appearance, the skin is very white and firm, 

 grows compactly in the hill, good size, and 

 claimed by him to be the heaviest yielder with 

 which he is acquainted, and perfectly free 

 from disease, of very good quality, and when 

 baked or boiled breaks open white and floury, 

 with a delicious nutty flavor. Introducer 

 says: "I consider the Great Divide the most 

 robust growing, finest bearing, longest keep- 

 ing, and one of the best shipping main-crop 

 potatoes in America. Per pk. 50 cts., bu. 

 .$1.50.
