The People’s Potato, “ UNCLE SAM.” 
We have had the honor of introducing many new varieties of Potatoes 
which have attained popularity and reputation, yet, never in Aur long 
experience did we introduce one with such assurance that it was destined 
to become the most popular and leading variety. Without hesitation, we 
predict that “ UNCLE SAM" will out-distance all competitors, as it 
possesses in a marked degree more desirable qualities than any other 
Potato. Its cropping qualities are phenomenal, and we believe it to be 
the heaviest yielding Potato known, not even excepting several varieties 
worthless in every other respect than their heavy cropping qualities— 
varieties which produce coarse, waxy and unpalatable tubers. 
In the season 1895, a well-known Potato grower and expert in New York 
State grew on his farm, under the same soil conditions and cultivation, 
“ UNCLE SAM,” Rural New-Yorker No. 2, The Great Divide and Irish 
Daisy, and on digging and weighing the crops was astonished to find that 
“UNCLE SAM" had outyielded all between ninety and one hundred per 
cent., or nearly double the crop per acre of these well-known varieties. 
But, aside from its productiveness, which is largely attributable to the 
uniform size of the Potatoes, nearly all sizing up alike, none too large and 
few too small, its crowning merit is its superb cooking qualities, 
which will ultimately place “ UNCLE SAM” on every table where quality 
in Potatoes is appreciated. Regarding the excellence of its cooking quali¬ 
ties, we speak from our own personal experience, for never did we have so 
fine a flavored Potato on our table, and its handsome pure white floury 
appearance would attract the attention of all; in fact, so pretty a picture 
did they make that we had them photographed on the spot, and give a 
reproduction on opposite page. 
It is a medium late variety, ripening along with Rural New-Yorker 
No. 2, and has most luxuriant foliage, completely shading the ground. 
The tubers are oval with pure white russet skin, with very shallow 
eyes near the surface, and are so handsome In appcaranco and perfect in 
form that they will always bring an enhanced price upon the market, but so 
great will be the demand that for years to come they will bring a premium 
for seed purposes. Price, 1 lb., 35c.; 3 lbs., 80c., postpaid ; $1.25 pk.; 
$4.00 bush. ; $8.00 bbl. 
RESTAURANT. If you wish to raise a big crop of large, handsome 
potatoes, this is the sort to plant. It is of large size, is an enormous 
yielder, and, for a main crop variety, cannot bo excelled. 50c. peck, $1.60 
bush., $3.25 bbl. 
PUMPKIN. 
They are usually planted in fields of Corn or Potatoes, but may be profitably raised in fields by themselves 
CALHOUN. We have given this variety a very thorough distribution and wherever heard 
from it gave the highest satisfaction, every one speaking of its superior quality. The out¬ 
side color is a creamy brown; the inside flesh is a deep salmon yellow; the flesh is wonder¬ 
fully thick and fine-grained, and the seed cavity very small. It cooks very yellow and 
makes pies of a high rich color and of the finest quality. This variety is en¬ 
tirely fixed in its character, every specimen being uniform in shape. Any 
one using the Calhoun Pumpkin once will never use any other variety, so 
superior is it in quality. 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 40c. 34 lb., $1.00 lb. 
JONATHAN. A largo bottle shaped variety, with a crook neck; of 
most attractive appearance. It is very prolific, and the flesh is 
fine, clear and sweet, making it valuable for pies and other table 
uses. Its hard shell makes it an excellent keeper. 5c. pkt., 10c. 
oz., 25c. J4 lb., 80c. lb. 
WINTER LUXURY. This wo recommend as one of the best pie 
pumpkins; an excellent keeper and enormously productive. It is 
very finely netted and in color it is a golden russet. (See cut.) 
10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 40c. J4 lb., $1.00 lb. 
JUMBO. This is the variety to be grown where “the biggest 
pumpkin” is wanted. We have seen specimens weighing 250 
pounds. The color of skin is a deep yellow, the flesh being of 
a lighter shade. Notwithstanding its enormous size it is deli¬ 
cious in quality and generally desirable. 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 50c. 
lb., $1.50 lb. 
Large Tours, or Mammoth. Grows to an immense size, often 
weighing over 100 lbs. 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. 54 lb., $1.00 lb.

stock. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 50c. lb.

grain, sweeter and very prolific. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. % lb., 60c. lb.

color making it valuable for pies and table use, while its pro¬
