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 known. Like 

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

 lings, 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 turnlnjr 

 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 ont-y eld 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 fleJd culture, on account 

 of its enormous productiveness and great 

 beauty. Per pk. 50 cts., bu $1.25. 



BURPEE'S EXTRA EARLY POTATO. 



BURPEE'S EXTRA EARLY. It has proved 

 itself as early as the Early Ohio, and nearly 

 twice as productive. The potatoes are uni- 

 formly of good size, oblong in shape, very 

 smooth, eyes set well on the surface, skin 

 creamy white, slightly shaded with pink; the 

 flesh is pure white, remarkably fine grained, 

 and of the very best table quality. The 

 tubers grow very compact in the hill, with 

 strong and vigorous foliage; it is a sure crop- 

 per, and will undoubtedly become a standard 

 extra earlv potnto. Per r»k. ^0 cts.. bu. .$1..50. 



RURAL NEW YORKER No. 2. This potato Is 

 of very distinct and handsome appearance: 

 the tubers are of large size, with remarkable 

 smoothness of skin; the eyes are few, distinct 

 and shallow. It is of extreme whiteness, both 

 of skin and flesh, and unexcelled table quali- 

 ties. It has great vigor in growth and solidity 

 of tuber, which enables it to resist disease. 

 It has proved to be one of the most valuable 

 varieties. Certain to become one of our 

 leading late market potatoes. Per pk. 35 

 cts., bu. $1.00.
