“BOVEE” 
is praised in 
AMERICA, 
“The ‘Bovee’ is the best 
frame Potato I know of. Its 
eating quality is extra fine.’’ 
—N. BuTTERBACGH, Gardener to 
C. N. Buiss, Esq. 
“The ‘Bovee’ is the best 
early Potato we have. It was 
the best and earliest among 
ten varieties.’’—S. O. BENJAMIN, 
Aquebogue, L. I 
“The ‘Bovee’ is at least 
twelve days earlier than Early 
Ohio. Thealmost perfect shape 
of the ‘ Bovee’ would win the 
prize every time over the poor- 
ly shaped Early Ohio. Will 
yield more per acre, with a 
smaller proportion of unmar- 
ketable tubers.”-—THE RURAL 
NEW-YORKER. 
“Uncommonly prolific for 
such an early variety.’’—OHIO 
AGRICULTURAL Expt. STATION. 
“‘ Vielded at arateabove any 
other intrial, anda very prom- 
ising new variety.’’—MASSACHU- 
SETTS AGRICULTURAL Expr. 
STATION, 
“‘ The‘Bovee’ is exceptionally 
promising.’’—MINNESOTA AGRI- 
CULTURAL EXPT. STATION. 
““T was very much pleased 
with the ‘Bovee’ Potatoes I 
ordered from you last year. 
They yielded better than any 
potato I ever planted.’’—Mrs.

HEN we introduced Henderson’s ‘‘Bovee”’ Potato, our own tests and the 
opinions of others led us to claim a good deal for it, and our confidence 
has not been misplaced. Not only is it the earliest, but it takes a leading place 
among the heavy cropping varieties, an unusual thing among first earlies. It 
is even earlier than Early Ohio, and compares 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. The vine is dwarf and stocky, enabling 
it to be planted six inches closer than nearly all other varieties, which results 
in a much larger return per acre, and is a feature of the utmost value where 
land is valuable. The tubers grow remarkably close, all bunched together in 
the hill close up to the vine. 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 and the quality is perfect. We have only one 
warning—it is apt to prove disappointing on poor soil or with poor cultivation, 
as it sets so freely the tubers are apt to be small. But on good Potato ground, 
well fertilized and cultivated, no other early Potato to-day compares with it. 
PRICE OF HENDERSON’S BOVEE POTATO: 
75c. peck, $2.50 bushel, $5.00 barrel of 165 Ibs. net weight, 
by express or freight, at purchaser’s expense.
