NEW EXTRA EARLY 
POTATO. 
The Earliest of all, 
Great Cropper. 
and a 
Te Bove." 
HE reports received proclaim this to be a wonderful introduction 
among early Potatues. Not only is it the earliest, but it takes a 
leading place among the heavy cropping varieties, an unusual thing: 
among first earlies. Itiseven earlier than Early Ohio, and com- 
pares favorably with Triumph, a light cropping variety that has only 
extreme earliness to recommend it, while the ** Bovee”’ in all competitive 
trials has outyielded all the early Potatoes, and in many of the tests 
conducted by Experiment Stations and private growers, it has outyielded 
even the late varieties, including such heavy cropping kinds as Carman No. 1, 
Empire State, Rural New-Yorker No. 2, Irish Daisy, Maggie Murphy, Great 
Divide and others. The vine is dwarf and stocky, and the tubers grow remark- 
ably close, all bunched together in the hill close up to the vine. (See cut.) 
They size up to a marketable size more evenly than any Potato we ever saw; 
none too large or too small; practically the whole crop being merchantable. 
Those who have tried the ‘‘ BovEE’’ Potato write: 
is at least twelve days earlier than Early Ohio, but, 
l : ect Shape of the ‘ Bovee’ would win the prize every time 
over the poorly shaped Early Ohio. It is as perfect inshape as the well-advertised Freeman and 
Jess variable. It is probably three wee earlier, and will yield more per acre, with a smaller 
proportion ofunmarketable tubers.”’—THrE RuRAL NEW-YORKER. 
**Uncommonly prolific for such an early variety.’’-—Ou10 AGRICULTURAL Expert. STATION. 
‘* Vielded at a rate above any other in trial, and we consider it a very promising new 
variety.’’—MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
“« The ‘ Bovee’ is exceptionally promising.’’—MINNESOTA AGRICULTURAL EXPT. STATION. 
May 12th, 1897.—* The ‘ Bovee’ is the best frame Potato I know of. I planted some March 
24th, and to-day dug a stalk with fourteen fine smooth potatoes fully matured and of good 
size. Its eating quality is extra fine.’—N. BUTTERBACH, Gardener to C. N. Bliss, Esq., Secretary 
of Interior. : 
“From one pound of ‘ Bovee’ Potatoes purchased from you, I raised seventy pounds of fine 
Potatoes, nearly all marketable.’'—H. Evans, Skaneuateles, N. Y. 
Aquebogue, L.I., Oct. 16, 1896.—* The ‘ Bovee’ is the best early Potato we have, both for 
yield, good quality and earliness. It was the best and earliest among ten varieties.’—S. QO. 
BENJAMIN. 
Wickatunk, N. J.—‘‘ The ‘ Bovee’ Potato was planted at the same time alongside Early 
Ohio, Early Acme, Quick Crop and Triumph, and, though the vines matured no earlier than 
Triumph and Early Ohio, the tubers sized up more quickly and could be marketed ten days 
ahead. The ‘ Bovee’ also yielded one-third to one-half more than Barly Ohio and Quick Crop 
and more than double the Triumph and Early Acme, growing alongside.’—JOHN L. CONOVER. —
