Carman No. 3 Potato 



CARMAN NO. 3 POTATO 

 Grand Main Crop Potatoes 



The fame of this Potato is abroad in the 

 land wherever Editor Carman of the Rural 

 New Yorker is known. Without any approach 

 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 il- 

 lustration. 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 pro- 

 duced. 2d. It will out-yield any other potato 

 whatever. 3d. Practically every potato is a 

 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 pop- 

 ular variety for field culture, on account of 

 its enormous productiveness and great beau- 

 ty. Per pk. 90 cts.. bu. $3.25, 3 bu. $9.50. 



THE KING POTATO 



This potato may rightly be called the King 

 of the potato family on account of its many 

 superior qualities. 



It is a handsome shaped, medium late pota- 

 to maturing about two weeks earlier than the 

 late varieties. Has light red or flesh color 

 skin, of oblong shape and is vigorous and 

 prolific. It is of better quality and will also 

 outyield the Burbank. Of its extra vigor and 

 vitality will make a crop under most trying 

 conditions. The potatoes are very firm, fine 

 grained with pure white flesh when cooked, 

 it does not boil to pieces easily as so many 

 varieties do. The King is claimed to be the 

 hardiest of all potatoes, and suffers less from 

 blight, ravages of potato bugs, etc., than other 

 kinds. Pk. 90 cts., bu. $3.25, 3 bu. $9.50.
