“Uncle Sam.” 
It is the Handsomest Potato Grown. 
Its Cooking Qualities are Superior — White, Dry and Floury. 
A Luxuriant, Healthy Grower Free from Disease, Blight, 
Scab or Rot. 
It Outyields all other Potatoes nearly two to one. 
Its Shape and Size are wonderfully uniform. 
U NCLE SAM possesses more desirable qualities 
than any other Potato. Its cropping qual¬ 
ities are phenomenal. and we believe it to be 
the heaviest-yielding Potato known, not even ex¬ 
cepting several varieties worthless in every other 
respect than their heavy cropping qualities—vari¬ 
eties which produce coarse, waxy and unpala¬ 
table tubers. On clay or heavy soils “ Uncle 
Sam ” is riot a satisfactory Potato and is apt to 
get coarse and unshapely, but on a loam or sandy 
soil there is no Potato which will outyield it or 
give more satisfactory results. Its productiveness 
is largely attributable to the uniform size of the 
Potatoes, nearly all sizing up alike, none too large 
and few too small, but its crowning merit is its 
superb cooking qualities, which will ultimately 
place “ Uncle Sam ’ on every table where qual¬ 
ity in Potatoes is appreciated. Its handsome, 
pure white, floury appearance attracts the atten¬ 
tion of all. 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 sur¬ 
face, and are so handsome in appearance and 
perfect in form that they will always bring an 
enhanced price upon the market. {See cut.) 
Price, 70c. pk., $2.25 bush., $4.50 per bbl. of 166 
lbs. net. By express or freight at purchaser’s 
expense.

“Sir Walter Raleigh” Potato. 
A Grand Main Crop Variety. Mr. Carman's Best Seedling. 
“/ 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." 
AMOS G. GRAY , North Cambridge, Mass. 
‘ */ bought ten pounds of your 1 Uncle Sam / and it has proved to 
be a good yielder with me. I have twenty-one bushels grown from 
the ten pounds of seed." 
GUY W. CRAWFORD, Letcher. S. Dakota. 
S IR WALTER RALEIGH is the best of the late Mr. Car¬ 
man’s introductions, and Mr. Carman has raised some 
of the best and most popular varieties, notably the 
great pairs, Rural Blush and Rural New-Yorker No. 2, and 
the Carman Nos. 1 and 3. In most respects it closely re¬ 
sembles Rural New-Yorker No. 2, but is more uniform and 
yields practically no small tubers, every one being market¬ 
able. It is from four to six days later than the Rural New- 
Yorker; the color of the skin is the same, but the flesh is 
whiter and of better quality; in fact, it is the whitest- 
fleshed and finest-grained Potato, excelling even the Snow¬ 
flake. It is unquestionably the best of its type, and will 
soon supersede all others for main crop. {See cut.) Price, 
75c. pk., $2.25 bush., $4.75 per bbl. of 165 lbs. net. By 
express or freight at purchaser’s expense.
