A FINE MAIN^CROP POTATO AN EXCELLENT KEEPER 
Sir Walter Raleigh is one of the best varieties for a main crop, and is admirably 
adapted to general cultivation. 'I'he vines are of average size, but so vigorous that 
they stand erect long enough to allow necessary cutiv'ation. It produces an ex¬ 
tremely large crop of round, slightly flattened tubers, smooth, white-skinned, and 
very attractive in appearance. 
Its remarkably good (juality is greatly improved when properly stored in a cool, 
dry cellar. When cooked it breaks up thoroughly, presenting a flaky, snowy ap¬ 
pearance, at once a])pctizing and indicative of its superior flavor. (.Vce ctU.) Price, 
75c. peck, $2.50 bushel, $5.00 barrel of 165 pounds net weight. By express or freight 
at [jurchascr’s expense 
“/ hax’e excellent results from my 'Sir Walter Raleigh.' Season 7vas very bad and Potatoes grew 
small all over the country except mine. They grew large and 1 am selling as I dig them for $1.00 per 
bushel, while ordinary Potatoes are selling for from doc. to 70c. 1 used neither manure nor phosphate 
—simply planted on sod — broken aulutnn previous." Rev. W. L. RILEY, D.D., Kane, Pa. 
"The .Sir Walter Raleigh Potatoes turned out well. We raised a good four and a half bushels from 
a peck. They arc a good eating Potato and there are not many small ones in a hill." 
L. MAYER, Roxbury Sta., Conn. 
Improved GREEN MOUNTAIN Potato 
A reliable medium-late Potato increasing in popularity' where known—in fact, 
having in some sections superseded all other main crop varieties. It seems to thrive 
in all soils and in all localities, making heavy, healthy vines and yielding big crops 
of large, smooth, white-skinned tubers of handsome flattish-oval form. It cooks 
white, dry and mealy, with a desirable flavor exclusively its own. A good keeper, 
not liable to scab in field or decay in cellar. Price, 75c. peck, $2.50 bushel, $4.75 
barrel of 165 pounds net weight. By express or freight at purchaser’s expense. 
SIR WALTER RALEIGH POTATO 
"Outof a peck of Uncle Sam Potatoes I raised 1,100 lbs." 
JOS. A. BAKER, Port Benton, Mont. 
"The Uncle Sam J^otato, of which 1 purchased seed from 
you in 1896, is the leading Potato around here still. " 
JOHN HENDERSON. Readfield. Me. 
"I used your seeds last year and found them very good. 
The Uncle Sam Potato was especially so, and about as 
good a Potato as grown anywhere. They yielded well and 
were remarkably smooth and great keepers." 
F. L. NICHOLS, PortsmotUh, N. 11. 
"Out of two barrels of Uncle Sam Potatoes 1 harvested 
S3 barrels. They are the great vielder you claim them to be. " 
LEON DESPLAND. Daytona. Fla. 
Under fairly good conditions Uncle Sam will outyield any Potato in cultivation. 
Not only will it produce a largo crop, but it will turn out more well-shaped Potatoes 
than any other sort. Only on heavy soil, where the expansion of the tuber is checked, 
will it produce unshapely and coarse Potatoes. 
Its uniformity of size is w'orthy of mention. Many sorts produce a large number of 
tubers, but none even approaches Uncle Sam in the heavy yield of usable Potatoes. 
When cooked it is light, floury and perfectly white. The quality is excellent—dry and 
flaky, with a substantial mealy quality. The tubers arc oval and smooth, the skin 
white, faintly russeted, and the eyes are so shallow that it is easy to clean for baking, and 
just as easy to peel. (See cut.) Price, 75c. pecli:', $2.50 bushel, $5.00 per barrel of 
165 pounds net. By express or freight at purchaser’s expense.
