May's Seed Potatoes Challenge Competition 
MAY'S Carman no. 3 
THE BEST main crop potato. The fame of this potato is abroad in the land, and it is 
unquestionably the very best main crop potato on the market. All the Carman Seed- 
lings (originated by Mr. Elbert S. Carman, late editor of the Rural New Yorker), have 
proven popular; but the Carman No. 3 is already rivaling in popularity the Bur- 
bank, and is undoubtedly a much better potato. tVilhout any exception what- 
ever it is the Greatest Yielding Potato ever introduced, and it may be fairly 
claimed that it does not yield any small tubers at all. The tubers are borne / 
very close to the plant, a single turn of the fork turning out every potato. ( 
It is of large size and of the shapeliest form. Eyes are few and shallow. 
/( is a perfect keeper, and is not surpassed as a tabic variety. Skin and 
flesh are of extreme whiteness. It has no hollow hearts or any dark / 
parts. Peck 40c., bushel $1.00, barrel (2^4 bushels) $2.50. / 
MAY'S NOROTON BEAUTY

crop or late sort. This combination of extreme 
earliness, productiveness and keeping qualities never 
before attained. Table quality is superb. Keeps in

bushel $1.50, barrel {2% bushels) $3.25. 
MAY'S TRIUMPH

very uniform. Nearly round in shape. The flesh is 
white; very mealy when cooked. This potato is in exceed- 
ingly high'favor with Southern market gardeners and truck- 
ers, and is shipped' to the Northern markets in enormous 
quantities in the early spring. It grows well in the North, 
'i'he eyes are slightly depressed and the skin is smooth, mak- 
ing a handsome early potato in barrel or basket. Its beauty, 
good qualitv, extreme earliness and great productiveness

MAY'S Early Ohio 
HIS well knoion trucker's favorite is a short, thick, round-oblong potato, of 
quite peculiar appearance. In color it is dull red. It matures a week 
earlier than Early Rose. It succeeds best in a rich, loamy soil, and is 
not recommended for light or sandy land. The flesh is solid, and of 
extra good flavor and mealy quality. Its extreme earliness and the 
fact that it is mealy when partially grown, makes it a great favorite' 
with market gardeners, and fully atones for its lack of beauty,? 
is not remarkable as a heavy bearer, but its character' 
sells it, and compels many truckers to call it theit 
most profitable earlv sort Peck 50c., bushel $1.25, 
barrel {2% bushels) $3.00. 
MAY'S Early Market 
GROWS a rather spare upright top, matures 
its crop very quickly, and produces heavy 
yields of large, smooth potatoes, with very few 
small ones. Peck 50c., bushel $1.50, barrel 
(2^-4 bushels) $3.25. 
MAY'S Rural New Yorker No. 2 
THE TUBERS are of large size, with remark- 
able smoothness of skin; the eyes are 
few, distinct, and shallow. It is of extreme 
whiteness, both of skin and flesh, and is of 
excellent table qualities. It has great vigor 
in growth and solidity of tuber, which enab- 
les it to resist disease. Tliis is one of the 
most productive of potatoes and one which 
we take great pride in selling to our patrons. 
A standard and much raised sort and has 
no superior. Peek 50c., bush- 
~ el $1 00, barrel (2^4 bush- 
, e!s) $2.50.
