The New Potato, Carman No. 3. 



The Carman No. 3, which we now offer for the first time, is, like the Carman No. 1, a seedling from 

 seedlings raised through several generations by the experienced originator whose name they bear. Its average 

 form is shown in our illustration. It will be noticed that it resembles the Carman No. 1, except that the tubers 

 are a little more elongated. The eyes are very shallow, and but few in number. 



It is of the shapeliest form, and even in droughty seasons its perfect shape is retained. 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 in ordinary seasons. 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, the tubers usually averaging* in weight a pound 

 each ; but on account of the very dry weather of the past season, our present stock runs much smaller than it 

 otherwise would. It is a perfect keeper. Both skin and flesh are of extreme whiteness. 



The foliage is heavy, and of a dark green color, and the vines are always strong and vigorous. The tubers 

 set while the vines are quite small, but do not ripen until late. This gives all the advantages of continuous 

 growth for the entire season, making it very valuable for the main field crop. 



Our Claims for the CARMAN NO. 3 are: 



1st. It is the handsomest large Potato ever produced. 

 2d. It will outyield 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 field culture, on account of its enormous 

 productiveness and great beauty.

Valuable New Tomatoes. 



THE AUTOCRAT. A new hybrid originated by Mr. Carman. It is very large, of fine, regular shape, 

 very solid, and with few seeds. It ripens about the stem, and is a good producer. The vines are strong and 

 with little foliage. In ripening it is medium early, and in color it resembles the well-known Acme. A good 

 shipper. Per pkt., 10 cts 



THE DEMOCRAT. This is also a cross-bred variety of Mr. Carman's the female parentage being the 

 same as that of The Autocrat, which it resembles in form, solidity, fewness of seeds and ripening about the stem. 

 It is also of large size and very prolific. In color it is a fine, dark purplish red. It is a vigorous grower, with 

 dark green foliage. Medium early and a good shipper. Per pkt., 10 cts. 



THE ARISTOCRAT. An excellent new sort, resembling in habit of growth and foliage the Dwarf 

 Champion, but the color of the fruit is a fine rich, glossy red. It is solid and smooth, and in size from medium 

 to large. Valuable for forcing under glass. Per pkt., 5 cts. ; per oz., 30 cts. 



THORBURN TERRA-COTTA. The color is a pure terra-colta— quite unlike anything ever seen in a 

 Tomato before. The skin is lusterless and slightly downy. The vines are marvels of productiveness, beginning 

 to bear early, and continuing to ripen fruit until frost. Per pkt., 5 cts. ; per oz., 30 cts. 



THORBURN LEMON-BLUSH. This is the nearest approach to a perfect Tomato that has been 

 produced up to this time. The skin and flesh are a bright lemon-yellow, with a faint rose-blush or light crim- 

 son tint diffused over part of the surface opposite the stem. The plant is a vigorous grower, ripening its fruit 

 abundantly in mid-season. Per pkt., 5 cts. ; per oz., 30 cts.
