THE BOVEE POTATO. 
(Continued.) THE WHOLE... 
.- «+ WORLD PRAISES IT. 
Nine in the history of the Potato has any variety created such a world-wide reputation as THE ‘‘BOVEEB” has in a 
single year. 
It is appreciated and in demand throughout the entire world wherever potatoes are grown. 
During the 
past fall we could have sold our entire stock to foreign countries, and, while we disposed of some, yet we retained 
much of our stock for our American customers. 
FROM ENGLAND. 
“Tt is very early and I made a point to try it as soon as large enough to use, 
and found it quite white and dry. I used some of the tubers as object lessons 
to show its productiveness and good eating qualities in the lectures I have been 
giving for the County Council.’"-—JoHN Crook, Forde Abbey Gardens, Chard. 
FROM GERMANY. 
“The ‘Bovee’ is very satisfactory in every way; the tubers growing close 
together, are of a fine Oval form and almost all of a uniform medium size, fit 
for table use. Eyes few and flat. The‘ Bovee’ was ripe ten days sooner than 
Early Rose and Paragon, and about a week earlier than our Improved Six 
Weeks. Quality fine and dry.”-—Haage & Scumip7, Erfurt. 
FROM SWEDEN. 
“Your new Potato ‘Bovee’ is a most valuable addition to the many you 
have sent out. I had a splendid crop of the finest quality, and it is the best this 
season out of thirty sorts.’,-—SVENSONS FROHANDEL, Stockholm. 
FROM FRANCE. 
“The ‘Bovee’ Potato was less affected by disease than other varieties grown 
on the same ground. The tubers seem to be very sound, while other varieties 
show some taints. Cooked after the French style they proved to be of excellent 
quality.”’—L. CLAUSE, Paris. 
FROM AUSTRALIA. 
“The ‘ Bovee’ ripened in a very short space-of time and we are again testing 
them against all the best early varieties..".—ARTHUR YATES & Co., Sydney. 
FROM ITALY. 
“T sincerely believe that your ‘ Bovee’ Potato will become the leading variety 
in ourcountry. I carefully tested, and found them far superior to any of the 
numerous varieties I have tried to this day. The plant is strong, of quick vege- 
tation and very healthy.’’—GUISEPPE SADA, Milan. 
FROM HOLLAND. 
“The ‘ Bovee’ seems one of the best varieties grown in this country. The 
crop was simply marvellous, and there does not exist here a heavier cropping 
variety. It not only excels in earliness and beautiful shape of the tubers, but the 
flavor is also excellent. We think ‘Bovee’ Potato will have a great future.’’— 
L. VAN WAVEREN & Co., Hillegom. 
FROM IRELAND. 
“« Although it was sown four weeks after the last sowing of Puritans we had, 
it was fit to dig with them. As far as we can judge, it is a first-rate early 
variety.’’-—Sir Jas. W. MACKEY, Dublin. 
FROM SCOTLAND. 
“We found it early, a good cropper, good to eat, very white and floury, 
medium height vine, and good-sized Potato.’’—THYNE & PATON, Dundee. 
FROM INDIA. 
“The ‘Bovee’ was ready for harvesting quite two weeks earlier and is of 
better flavor than any other variety we have here. They were quite free from 
disease.’’—PESTONJEE POCHAJEE PocHA, Bombay. 
FROM WEST INDIES. 
“T expect great things of the‘ Bovee’ as a forcing potato for the private and 
market gardener. I planted here in the subtropics, November 12th, and had 
magnificent new potatoes on Christmas day.’’—A.G. TILLSON, Botanical Station,

“SIR WALTER RALEIGH.” 
MR. CARMAN’S BEST. 
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 
New-Yorker No. 2, but is more uniform and yields 
practically no small tubers, every one being market- 
able. Itis trom 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. 
At the Rural Grounds it proved the best and heavi- 
est cropper of forty-nine varieties, and on our own 
‘trial farm and on the farms of three potato experts in 
New Jersey, New York and Connecticut it proved the 
most remarkable of many.varieties grown. (See cut.) 
Those who have tried our“ Sir Walter Raleigh ’’’ Potato write: 
Wickatunk, Monmouth County, N. J. 
“T 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. Carman’s Potatoes, 
and believe that in ‘SIR WALTER RALEIGH’ Mr. Carman has ex- 
-celled all his previous efforts.’’—J. L. CONOVER. 
Milford, Conn. 
«The ‘SIR WALTER RALEIGH’ is a great yielder; all large Po- 
tatoes, no small ones; vines grow strong and upright.’’—C. W. 
BEARDSLEY. 
Aquebogue, Long Island, N. Y. 
“<*SIR WALTER RALEIGH’ is an immense yielder, of fine quality 
-and very few small ones.’’—S. O. BENJAMIN. 
Chittenango, N. Y. 
“T grew ‘SIR WALTER RALEIGH’ and ‘BOVEE’ Potatoes last 
year. I have tried many kinds, but they are the best varieties I 
‘know. In both eases the yield was remarkable.’’—JAMES Hoop.
