POTATO.

The People's Potato, 



"Uncle Sam." 



DESTINED TO BECOHE THE MOST POPULAR 

 AflERICA HAS YET PRODUCED ! 



We hare had the honor of| introducing many new varieties of Potatoes which have attained popu- 

 larity and reputation, yet, never in our long experience did we introduce one with such assurance 

 that it was destined to become the most popular and leading variety. Without hesitation, we predict 

 that " UNCLE SAM " will distance all competitors, as it possesses in a marked degree more desir- 

 able qualities than any other Potato. 



Its cropping qualities 

 are phenomenal, 



and we believe it to be the heaviest yielding Potato known, not even excepting several varieties 

 worthless in every other respect than their heavy cropping qualities — varieties which produce coarse, 

 waxy and unpalatable tubers. 



In the season of 1895, a well-known Potato grower and expert in New York State grew on his 

 farm, under the same soil conditions and cultivation, " UNCLE SAM," Rural New-Yorker No. 2, 

 The Great Divide and Irish Daisy, and on digging and weighing the crops was astonished to find 

 that " UNCLE SAM " had outyi elded all between ninety and one hundred per cent., or nearly double 

 the crop per acre of these well-known varieties. 



But, aside from its productiveness, which is largely attributable to the uniform size of the Potatoes, 

 nearly all sizing up alike, none too large and few too small, 



Its crowning merit 



is its superb cooking qualities, 



vhich will ultimately place "UNCLE SAM " on every table where quality in Potatoes is appreciated. 

 Regarding the excellence of its cooking qualities, we speak from our own personal experience, for 

 lever did we have so fine a flavored Potato on our table, and its handsome pure white floury appear- 

 mce would attract the attention of all ; in fact, so pretty a picture did they make that we had them 

 >hotographed on the spot, and give a reproduction herewith. 



It is a medium late variety, ripening along with Eural New-Yorker No. 2, and has most luxuriant 

 oliage, completely shading the ground. 



The tubers are oval with pure white russet skin, with very shallow eyes near the surface, and are 

 o handsome in appearance and perfect in form that they will always bring an enhanced price upon 

 lie market, but so great will be the demand that for years to come they will bring a premium for 

 eed purposes.
