HENDERSON'S 



"BOVEE" 



is praised in 



AMERICA. 



"The 'Iioree' is the best 

 frame Potato I know of. Its 

 eating quality is extra fine." 

 — N. Butterbach, Gardener to 

 C. N. Buss, Esq. 



"The 'Boree' is the best 

 early Potato we have. It was 

 the best and earliest among 

 ten varieties.''-^. O.Benjamin, 

 Aquebogue, L. I. 



"The 'Bovee' is at least 

 twelve days earlier than Early 

 Ohio. The almost 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 tuliers." — The Rural 

 New-Yorker. 



"Uncommonly prolific for 

 such an early variety." — Ohio 

 Agricultural Expt. Station. 



*' Yielded at a rate above any 

 other in trial, and a very prom- 

 ising new variety." — Massachu- 

 setts Agricultural Expt. 

 Station. 



" The'Bovee' is exceptionally 

 promising." — Minnesota Agri- 

 cultural Expt. Station. 



"/ lias very much pleased 

 with the 'Bovee' Potatoes I 

 ordered from you last year. 

 They yielded better than any 

 potato I ever planted." — Mrs.

WHEN 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 sel s 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.

From Italy. — " Your 'Bovee'

 tothisday. The plant is strong 

 and very healthy." — Guiseppe 

 Sada, Milan. 



From Holland.—" The crop 

 was simply marvellous, and 

 there does not exist here a 

 heavier cropping variety. Jt 

 not only excels in earliness and 

 beautiful shape of the tubers, 

 but the flavor is also excellent."
