J. M. Thorburn & Co., 15 John St., New York. 



Our Two World=Famous New Potatoes, 



NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, OFFERED AT POPULAR PRICES. 



"CARMAN NO. L" 



THE BEST SECOND-EARLY EVER GROWN. 



Our price last year was $16 per barrel, but with this year's enormous crop, we are now able to quote it at a 

 figure that comes within the reach of all. It is already too well known to require any description, but we may 

 repeat that it is not like so many so-called " New " Potatoes, merely an improved stock of some standard sort, 

 but a distinctly new variety, being a seedling from seedlings, raised through several generations. It is second 

 early in ripening, of the most perfect shape, the most desirable size, and with very few and shallow eyes. The 

 flesh is peculiarly white, perfect in quality, and very dry. It is an enormous yielder, the tubers being very 

 handsome and uniformly large. In every point of merit it is universally conceded to be incomparably superior 

 to any second-early in cultivation. Price, !^pk., 50 cts. ; per pk. , 75 cts. ; per bus. ,$2; per bbl., $4.50. 



"CARMAN NO. 3." 



THE BEST LATE VARIETY EVER GROWN. 



Last year's price was $25 per barrel, yet the demand was twice as great as our supply, and we had to return 

 thousands of dollars to customers who were late in ordering. We have a very large crop this year, yet we 

 would recommend our customers to order early, and make sure of being supplied ; for at the very low price at 

 which we are now offering it, we anticipate an enormous demand, the value of this splendid Potato being so 

 universally known. Like the " Carman No. 1," it is a seedlingfrom seedlings, and it resembles that variety in 

 having few and shallow eyes. Without any approach to an exception it is the greatest yielder ever introduced f 

 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 illustration. 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. 



Our Claims For "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 ^ize. 



4th. Its table qualities are fully up to the highest standard ; it has no hollow hearts, and no hard or 

 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. Price, 1 lb., by mail, prepaid, 25 cts.; Kpk., 65 cts.; per pk., $1 ; per bus., 

 $3-50 ; per bbl., $7.50. 



N. B. — The Carman No. 1 and No. j, being respectively intermediate and late sorts, we may mention that 

 for first crop, THE THORBURN can be positively recommended as the very best extra early sort grown, 

 being very productive, of good size and form, and of unexcelled table quality. We sell much more of it 

 than of all other sorts combined. J^pk., 40 cts.; per pk., 60 cts.; per bus., $1.75 ; per bbl., £3.25.
