It is the handsomest Potato grown. 
lT Je C s£SSraiTE!'DR^ AND FLOURY. 
A luxuriant, healthy grower, free from 
disease, blight, scab or rot. A* <£* J&J* 
IT OUTYIELDS all other Potatoes nearly two to one! 
ITS SttflPE AND SIZE, are wonderfully uniform/. 
“UNCLE SAM" possesses more desirable 
dualities than any other Potato. Its ctoppiug 
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 quali¬ 
ties—varieties which produce coarse, waxy and 
unpalatable tubers. On clay or heavy soils 
“UNCLE SAM ” is not a satisfactory Potato and 
is ant to get coarse and unshapely, but on a loam 
nrVsndv soil there is no Potato which will outyield it or give more satisfactory results. Its productiveness is largely attributable to 
the uniform size of 
cooking qualities, 
some, pure white 
sluillow n eyeb a near the surface, and are so handsome in appearance and perfect in form that they will always bring an enhanced price 
upon the market. (See cut.) 60c. peck, $2.00 bushel, $4.00 bbl.

“ From the'Uncle Sam' Potato of which I got three pounds, I dug two bushels, 
and would have had as many more but for an accident.”

LATE PURITAN. In the LATE Puritan we have a potato which is identical with the Early Puritan in appearance, color and quality, 
but far more productive. 60c. peck, $1.75 bush., $3.50 bbl. 
If you are interested in hearing of your Late Puritan Potatoes, lam happy 
to sav that not only have they out yielded everything in this part of the country 
and are fast taking the place of the old standard varieties, such as White Star, 
etc hut also the consumers pronounce them the best potatoes they have ever

MAIN CROP POTATO, 
“SIR W ALTER RALEIOH. 
MR. CARMAJS’S REST. 
THE ONLY SEEDLINC OF THE WELL-KNOWN RURAL NEW-YORKER NO. 2 THAT IS BETTER THAN ITS PARENT. 
The best of Mr. Carman’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 No. 1 and No. 3. In most respects it closely resembles 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 Snowilake. It is unquestionably the best of 
its type, and will soon supersede all others for main 
crop. (See cut.) 
FROM EDITORIAL COLUMNS: 
" RURAL NEW-YORKER,” Nov. 5th. ISOS: 
“ At present, ALL things considered, we are inclined to regard 
the 'Sir Walter Raleigh' as the best Potato we have ever tried." 
Those who have tried our “ Sir Walter Raleigh” Potato write: 
“lam of a decided opinion that 'Sir Walter Raleigh' will be 
the coming Potato for main crop. It lias certainly far exceeded 
my expectations. I have grown all of Mr. Carman’s Potatoes, 
and believe that in ' Sir Walter Raleigh' Mr. Carman has ex¬ 
celled all his previous efforts ” 
J. L. CONOVER, Wickatunk, Monmouth Co., N. J. 
" The 'Sir Walter Raleigh' is a great yielder; all large Po¬ 
tatoes, no small ones; vines grow strong and upright.” 
C. W. BEARDSLEY, Milford, Conn. 
'"Sir Walter Raleigh' is an immense yielder, of line quality 
and very few small ones.” 
S. O. BENJAMIN, Aquebogue, Long Island, N. Y. 
“I grew 'Sir Walter Raleigh' and ' Bovee' Potatoes last 
year. I have tried many kinds, but they are the best varieties / 
know. In both cases the yield was remarkable.”
