H<zw potato, Gafirian No. 3 The Carman No. 3, which we now offer for the first time, is, like the Carman No. 1, a seed- ling from seedlings raised through several gener- ations by the experienced originator whose name they bear. Its average form is shown in our illustration. It will be noticed that it resembles the Carman No. 1, except that the tubers are a little more elongated. The eyes are very shallow, and but few in number. It is of the shapeliest form, and even in droughty seasons its perfect shape is retained. Without any approach to an exception, it is the greatest yiclder ever intro- duced. It may fairly be claimed, that it does not yield any small tubers at all in ordinary seasons. It bears its tubers very close to the plant, a single turn of the fork turning out every potato. It is of the largest size, the tubers usu- ally averaging in -weight a pound each ; but on account of the very dry weather of the past season, our present stock runs much smaller than it otherwise would. It is a perfect keeper. Both skin and flesh are of extreme whiteness. The foliage is heavy, and of a dark green color, and the vines are always strong and vigorous, late. This gives all the advantages of continuous growth for the 25c; peck, $ Sweet Pptato Plants. Few persons have any idea of the wide range of the Sweet Potato, and would hardly expect that fine large potatoes could be raised in the Province of Ontario; but such is a fact. We herewith present our readers with a photograph of a half bushel of the Yellow Nansemond variety, grown from plants on our Rosedale Trial Grounds the past season. The Sweet Potato is one of the most edible and delicious of all esculents. T
