Sir Walter Raleigh Potato 



A GRAND MAIN-CROP VARIETY 



SIR WALTER RALEIGH is the best of the late Potatoes- 

 It is a grand main-crop variety of superlative quality, 

 vigorous growth, and a tremendous cropper. 

 It is unique in quality, being the v/hitest fleshed and finest 

 grained Potato grown, excelling even the famous Snowflake 

 in this respect. The tubers are almost round, white, with 

 smooth skin, and exhibit a peculiar uniformity in size. No 

 better main-crop Potato for general use was ever introduced, 

 and we commend it to all growers. Price, 75c. pk., $2.50 

 bu., $5.00 bbl. of 165 lbs. net. By express or freight at pur- 

 chaser's expense. 



THOSE WHO HAVE GROWN OUR 

 SIR WALTER RALEIGH POTATOES, WRITE: 



"/ have had excellent results from my 'Sir Waller Raleighs,' they grew 

 large and fine although the season was bad and all other potatoes around 

 here grew small. I am selling as 1 dig them for SI. 00 per bushel while 

 ordinary potatoes are only bringing 55c. to 70c." 



Rev. W. L. RILEY, Kane, Pa. 

 "I cannot withhold my testimony of the value of your Raleigh Potatoes. We got 

 them from you three years years ago; they outyield everything in the potato line 

 in this part of the country, and are the finest, mealiest potatoes we ever ate." 

 A. E. V.A.NDERW.A.TER, Blairsville, Pa. 



UNCLE SAM 



THE HANDSOMEST POTATO GROWN 

 Cooking Qualities Superior — White. Dry and Floury 



Outyields all other Potatoes nearly two to one 



UNCLE SAM possesses more desirable qualities 

 than any other Potato. Its cropping quali- 

 ties are phenomenal, the heaviest-yielding 

 Potato known. On clay or heavy soils UNCLE 

 SAM is not a satisfactory Potato, it is apt to get 

 coarse and unshapely, but on a loam or sandy soil 

 there is no Potato which will outyield it or give 

 more satisfactory results. Its productiveness is 

 largely attributable to the uniform size of the 

 Potatoes, nearly all sizing up alike, none too large 

 and few too small, hut its croivning merit is its superb 

 cooking qualities, which will ultimately place Uncle 

 Sam on every table where quality in Potatoes is 

 appreciated. Its handsome, pure white, floury 

 appearance attracts the attention of all. It is a 

 medium late variety, and has most luxuriant foliage, 

 completely shading the ground. The tubers are 

 oval, with pure white-russet skin, with very shallow 

 eyes near the surface, and are so handsome in ap- 

 pearance and perfect in form that they will always 

 bring an enhanced price upon the market. {See 

 cut.) Price, 75c. pk., $2.50 bu., $5.00 per bbl. of 

 165 lbs. net. By express or freight at purchaser's 

 expense. 



"The Uncle Sam Potatoes from you, though late in the 

 season, yielded a large crop of the finest potatoes, both in looks 

 and quality of any I have ever grown. Everyone who has tried 

 them agrees with me on the Uncle Sam." 



E. H. LOCKWOOD, Edgewood, R. I. 

 "I am happy to state that we like your Uncle Sam Potatoes 

 very much. Their table quality is unsurpassed, and they out- 

 yielded every other variety we planted."

Improved Green Mountain Potato 



A RELIABLE medium late Potato increasing in popularity where 

 known — in fact, having in some sections superseded all other 

 main-crop varieties. It seems to thrive in all soils and in 

 all localities, making heavy, healthy vines and yielding big crops of 

 large, smooth, white-skinned tubers of handsome flattish oval form. 

 It cooks white, dry and mealy, with a desirable flavor exclusively 

 its own. A good keeper, not liable to scab in field or decay in cellar. 

 Price, 75c. pk., $2.50 bu., $4.75 bbl. of 165 lbs. net. By express
