COLE'S SEED POTATOES. 55. CARMAN POTATO, NO. 3. CARMAN No. 3- The fame of this potato is abroad in the land wherever Editor Carman, of the Rural New Yorker, is known. Like "Carman No. 1,*' it is a seedling from seed- lings, and it resembles that variety in having few and shallow eyes. Without any ap- proach to an exception it is the greatest yielder ever introduced! It may fairly be claimed that it does not yield any small tubers at all. It bears its tubers very close to the plant, a single turn of the fork turnlnjr out every potato. It is of the largest size and of the shapeliest form, as will be seen from our illustration. It is a perfect keeper^ that is, it will not sprout up to planting time, unless kept in a warm place. Both skin and flesh are of extreme whiteness. Eyes few and shallow. Late in ripening. The intro- ducer says our claims for "Carman No. 3" are: 1st. It is the handsomest large potato ever produced. 2d. It will ont-y eld any other potato whatever. 3d. Practically every potato is of marketable size. 4th. Its table qualities are fully up to the highest standard, it has no hollow hearts, and no dark parts. We are confident that it will soon be the most popular variety for fleJd culture, on account of its enormous productiveness and great beauty.
