HENDERSON’S 
BOVEE POTATO 
Receives praise from all parts of the world. 
From America.—‘‘ The ‘ Bovee’ is the best frame 
Potato I know of. Its eating quality is extra fine.” 
—N. BUTTERBACH, Gardener to C. N. Biss, 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. The almost perfect shape of the‘Bovee’ 
would win the prize every time over the poorly 
shaped Early Ohio. Will yield more per acre, with 
a smaller proportion ot unmarketable tubers.”— 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
“Uncommonly prolific for such an early variety.” 
—OHIO AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
“ Vielded at a rate above any other in trial, and 
@ very promising new variety.’’—MASSACHUSETTS 
AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
“T was very much pleased with the ‘Bovee’ Pota- 
toes I ordered from you last year. They yielded 
better than any potato I ever planted.’’—Mrs. J. P. 
Fears, Athens, Ga. 
“The ‘Bovee’ potatoes yielded well and I am 
more than satisfied. I shall plantthem and discard 
the Early Ohio.’’—Cuas. H. CARPENTER, Kansas 
City, Kans. 
From England.—‘‘/t is very early and quite white 
and dry.’’—JOuN CROOK, Forde Abbey Gardens. 
From Germany.—‘‘Ofa fine oval form and almost 
all of a uniform medium size, fit for table use. Was 
Tipe ten days sooner than Early Rose and a week 
earlier than our Improved Six Weeks.’’—HAAGE & 
Scumipt, Erfurt. 
From Sweden.—‘‘ Bovee’ is a most valuable 
addition to the many you have sent out. I hada 
splendid crop of the finest quality, and it is the best 
this season out of thirty sorts.’’-—SVENSONS FRo- 
HANDEL, Stockholm. 
From Italy.—‘‘ Your ‘Bovee’ Potato will become 
the leading variety in our country. I found them 
far superior to any of the numerous yvarietiesI have 
tried to this day. The plant is strong and very 
healthy.’’—GIUSEPPE SaDA, Milan. 
From Holland.—‘‘ The crop was simply marvel- 
lous, and there does not exist here a heavier crop- 
ping variety. It not only excels in earliness and 
beautiful shape of the tubers, but the flavor is also 
excellent.’’—L.. VAN WAVEREN & Co., Hillegom. 
From India.—‘‘ The ‘Bovee’ was ready for har- 
vesting quitetwo weeks earlier and is of better flavor 
than any other variety we have here.’’—PESTONJEE 
PocHAJEE Pocua, Bombay.

“TWO WEEKS AHEAD OF 
HIS NEIGHBORS.” 
WHEN we introduced Henderson’s **Bovee’’ Potato, our own tests and the opinions 
of other's led us to claim a good deal for it, and our confidence has not been mis- 
placed. Not only is it the earliest, but it takes a leading place among the heavy crop- 
ping 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 va- 
rieties, 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 upto 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, 75c. peck, $2.50 bushel, $5.00 barrel of 165 Ibs., net weight,
