Early Varieties 



Henderson's BOVEE POTATO. The popular extra-early. Delicious, 

 appetizing new potatoes can be produced earlier with BOVEE than any 

 other. It is not only early, but produces its crop in great abundance, 

 and yields a very large percentage of perfectly formed tubers. The culti- 

 vator can be used to better advantage on a crop of Bovee than any 

 other sort, owing to the short and compact growth of the vines, and its 

 habit of setting the entire crop close in the hill. 



Bovee, perhaps more than any other sort, delights in a rich soil, 

 responding most generously to good treatment; given the proper soil 

 conditions, frequent and thorough cultivation and fairly good climatic 

 conditions, it will yield an abundance of medium sized Potatoes of 

 perfect shape and remarkably good quality. Price, $1.75 peck, $6.00 

 bushel, $12.00 barrel of 165 pounds net weight.

 white skin and pure white flesh; quality excellent; productive and a 

 good keeper. $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel, $10.00 barrel.

Uncle Sam Potato 



The Handsomest Potato Grown Quality Perfect — White, Dry and Floury 



Uncle Sam is a particulary fine Potato with phenomenal cropping 

 qualities. We believe it to be the heaviest yielding variety grown. On 

 a loam or sandy soil it is a wonder in yield and quality. The crop 

 averages remarkably regular in size and shape. Its appearance and 

 superb quality when served satisfy the most fastidious, its flaky snow- 

 white appearance gaining instant favor. 



The tubers are oval shaped, with light russet skin, very even in 

 outline and with shallow eyes. Its handsome appearance and perfect 

 form always ensure a fancy price on the market. $1.60 peck, $5.50 

 bushel, $11.00 barrel. 



Improved Green Mountain Potato 



A reliable medium late Potato which is rapidly increasing in popularity 

 — in fact, in some sections it has superseded all other main crop varieties. 

 It seems to thrive in all soils and in all localities, making heavy, healthy 

 vines, and yieldng big crops of large, smooth, white skinned tubers of 

 handsome fiattish oval form. It cooks white, dry and .mealy, and has 

 a desirable flavor exclusively its own. It keeps well, and is not liable 

 to scab or decay. (See engraving) . $1.63 peck, $5.50 bushel, $11. OObarrel.
