VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES-^^ 



Uncle Sam Potato. 



The handsomest Potato grown. 



Quality perfect. 



White, dry, and floury. 



Resists disease, scab and rot. 



Prodigious cropper. 



Very uniform in size. 



UNCLE SAM is a particularly fine Potato; 

 its cropping qualities are phenomenal. 

 We believe it to be the heaviest yielding 

 variety grown, surpassing in this respect the 

 coarse, waxy-fleshed and unpalatable sorts which 

 have no recommendation other than pro- 

 ductiveness. On a clay or heavy soil Uncle Sam is 

 not Uable to produce such satisfactorj' results — 

 such a soil induces an unshapely growth — but on 

 a loam or sandy soil it is a wonder in yield and 

 quality. Its productiveness is largely attrib- 

 utable to its uniformity — the crop shows a re- 

 markable regularity in size, none too large and 

 few too small. Its appearance and superb qual- 

 ity when served will satisfy the demand of the 

 most critical or fastidious, where its flaky snow- 

 white appearance gains instant favor. 



The tubers are oval shaped, •ss-ith white russet 

 skin, very even in outline and with shallow eyes. 

 Its handsome appearance and perfect form 

 always ensure a fancv price on the market. 

 (See 'cut.) Price, 70c". pk., $2.25 bush., $4.50 

 per bbl. of 165 lbs. net. By express or freight 

 at purchaser's expense.

A Grand Main Crop Variety. Mr. Carman's Best Seedling 



SIR WALTER RALEIGH is the best of the late Mr. Car- 

 man's introductions, and Mr. Carman was most 

 successful in raising and introducing many varieties 

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

 of vigorous growth, and is a tremendous cropper. 



It is unique in quaUty, being practically the only robust, 

 prolific variety that approaches the famous Snowflake in 

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

 smooth skin, and, like Uncle Sam, exhibit a peculiar 

 uniformity in size. No better potato for general use was 

 ever introduced, and we commend it to all growers. (See 

 cut.) Price, 70c. pk., $2.25 bush., $4.50 per bbl. of 165 

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

 be grown." — E. K. SHULTZ, Moweaqua, Ills. 



"The Sir Walter Raleigh is a great yielder; all large Potatoes, no small 

 ones; vines grow strong and upright." 



C. W. BEARDSLEY, Milford, Conn. 



"Sir Walter Raleigh is an immense yielder, of fine quality and very 

 few small ones." S. 0. BENJAMIN, Aquebogue, Long Island, N. Y.
