Uncle Sam Potato. 
The handsomest Potato grown. 
Quality perfect. 
White, dry, and floury. 
Resists disease, scab and rot. 
Prodigious cropper. 
Very uniform in size. 
U NCLE SAM is a particularly fine Potato; 
its cropping qualities are phenomenal.' 
We believe it to be the heaviest yielding 
variety grown, surpassing in this respect the 
coarse, waxy-fleshed and unpalatable sorts which 
have no recommendation other than pro¬ 
ductiveness. On a clay or heavy soil Uncle Sam is 
not liable to produce such satisfactory results— 
such a soil induces an unshapely growth—but on 
a loam or sandy soil it is a wonder in yield and 
quality. Its productiveness is largely attrib¬ 
utable to its uniformity—the crop shows a re¬ 
markable regularity in size, none too large and 
few too small. Its appearance and superb qual¬ 
ity when served will satisfy the demand of the 
most critical or fastidious, where its flaky snow- 
white appearance gains instant favor. 
The tubers are oval shaped, with white russet 
skin, very even in outline and with shallow eyes. 
Its handsome appearance and perfect form 
always ensure a fancy price on the market. 
(See cut.) Price, 70c. pk., $2.26 bush., $4.50 
per bbl. of 166 lbs. net. By express or freight 
at purchaser’s expense. 
Those who have grown Uncle Sam Potatoes write: 
“I am happy to state that we like your Uncle Sam Potatoes 
very much. Their table quality is unsurpassed, and they out- 
yielded every other variety we planted."

Sir Walter Raleigh Potato. 
‘We raised Uncle Sam Potatoes last year. It is the finest 
potato in the world." — J. T. BUCKLEY, Winona, Miss. 
“/ am happy to state that I consider your Uncle Sam Potato 
far superior to any that I have ever seen—not only in quality, 
but in the quantity grown per acre.”

A Grand Main Crop Variety. Mr. Carman’s Best Seedling 
S IR WALTER RALEIGH is the best of the late Mr. Car¬ 
man’s introductions, and Mr. Carman was most 
successful in raising and introducing many varieties 
of superlative quality. It is a grand main crop variety, 
of vigorous growth, and is a tremendous cropper. 
It is unique in quality, being practically the only robust, 
prolific variety that approaches the famous Snowflake in 
this respect. The tubers are almost round, white, with 
smooth skin, and, like Uncle Sam, exhibit a peculiar 
uniformity in size. No better potato for general use was 
ever introduced, and we commend it to all growers. (See 
cut.) Price, 70c. pk., $2.25 bush., $4.60 per bbl. of 165 
lbs. net. By express or freight at purchaser’s expense.
