COLE'S SEED POTATOES

Carman No. 3 

 Potato 



The fame of this potato is «tt»road in the land 

 wherever Editor Carman of the Rural New Yorker, is 

 known. Like "Carman No. 1," it is a seedling from 

 seedlings and it resembles that variety in having few 

 and shallow eyes. Without any approach to an ex^ 

 ception 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 shape- 

 liest 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 introducer 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. Practical- 

 ly 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 confi- 

 dent that it will soon be the most popular variety 

 for field culture, on account of its enormous produc- 

 tiveness and great beauty. Per pk. 35 cts., bu. $1.00. 

 3 bu. $2.75. 



SIR WALTER RALEIGH POTATO 



A GRAND NEW MAIN CROP POTATO. 



Mr. Carman's best introduction, the only seedling- 

 of the well-known Riual New Yorker that is better 

 than its parent. It resembles its parent but is 

 more uniform and yields practically no small tu- 

 bers, 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 Snowflake. It is unquestionably the best 

 of its type and will soon become one of our best 

 main crop varieties. At the Rural Grounds it prov- 

 ed the best and heaviest cropper of 49 varieti£S> 

 and at farms of three potato experts in New Jersey, 

 New York and Connecticut, it proved the most re- 

 markable of many varieties grown. Per pk. 35 cts.,. 

 bu. $1.00.
