“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. jtj* 
IT OUTYIELDS all other Potatoes nearly two to one! 
ITS SHAPE AND SIZE, are wondertully uniform/. 
“UNCLE SAM” possesses 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 
sxcepting 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 apt to get coarse and unshapely, but on a loam 
or sandy soil there is no Potato which will outyield it or give more .'-a* isfactory 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 
oooking qualities, which will ultimately place “UNCLE SAM” on every table where quality in Potatoes is appreciated. Its hand¬ 
some, pure white, floury appearance attracts the attention 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 surface, and are so handsome in appearance and perfect in form that the\ T will always bring an enhanced price 
upon the market. (See cut.) 60c. peck, $2.00 bushel, $4.00 bbl. 
“7 bought ten pounds of your * 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 . CltAWFOItD, Letcher, S. Dakota. 
" sent last year for three lbs. of your ‘ Uncle Sam* Potato and were 
very much pleased with theresult. We raised about seventy pounds fi'om t lie three 
pounds."

“I sot three pounds • Uncle Sam’ Potatoes and I got ninety pounds last 
spring." JOSEPH EDGAR, Hopewell Center, N. Y. 
" We are enjoying the nice potatoes. About eight bushels from the ten pounds 
[of 'Uncle Sam.’” C. L: QUIGLEY, Martinsburg, W. Ya. 
“ From the* Uncle Sam’ Potato of which T got three pounds, I dug two bushels, 
! and would have had as many more but for an accident.”

Is identical with the Early Puritan in appearance, color and quality, 
“ If you are interested in hearing of your Late Puritan Potatoes, I am happy 
to say that not only have they outyieldedeverything in this part of the country 
end are fast taking the place of the old standard Varieties, such as White Star, 
etc., but also the consumers pronounce them the best potatoes they have ever 
used*,' - E. D. KASSON , Gloversville, N. Y. 
"I got two pounds of your Late Puritan Potatoes last Spring and planted 
them. I have IIOV 2 lbs.; some of them weighed over one pound."

“SIR WALTER RALEIGH.” 
MR. CARMAN’S BKST. 
A GRAND NEW 
MAIN CROP POTATO, 
THE ONLY SEEDLING 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 Snowflake. It is unquestionably the best of 
its type, and will soon supersede all others for main 
crop. (See cut.) 
FROM EDITORIAL COLUMNS: 
"ItI RAL NEW-YORKER," Nov. 5th, 1898 : 
"At present, ALL things considered, we areinclined to regard 
the'Sir Walter Raleigh’ as the best Potato we have ever tried." 
Those who have tried our “ Sir Walter Raleigh” Potato write: 
"I am of a decided opinion that ‘ Sir Walter Raleigh’ will be 
the coming Potato for main crop. It has certainly far exceeded 
my expectations. I have grown all of Mr. (Airman’s Potatoes, 
and believe that in‘Sir Walter Raleigh’ Mr. Carman has ex¬ 
celled all his previous efforts." 
J. L. COX OVER, 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.”
