HENDERSON'S 



Bovee Potato* 



A Universally Popular Extra Early. 



A Reliable and Heavy Cropper. 



Quality Fine. White, Dry and Mealy. 



flENDER-SOX'S Bovee Potato is not only extra early, but in 

 *■■*• all competitive trials has outyielded all the early Potatoes, 

 and in many 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 

 bunched together in the hill close up to the vine. They grow to a market- 

 able size more evenly than any Potato we have ever seen; 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 surpasses it. (See cut.) PRICE, ;80c. peck, $2.75 bushel, $5.50 

 barrel of 165 lbs. net weight; by express or freight, at purchaser's expense. 



What Customers Say of Henderson's Bovee Potato: 



"A barrel of yoiir Bovee Potatoes in one year made me $600 cash." — Mrs.J. C, TA YLOR, Columbia. Tenn. 



"In regard to the Bovee Potato, it is one of the very best. We have them on hand now (March 16) and they are 

 as firm as when first dug. They cook quick and look as white as snow." — CHAS.H. BODINE, North Adams, Mass. 



"The Bovee Potato has been a great success with me, although we have had a serious drouth. I began digging them 

 for table use the first week in July and we have used them ever since. They are large and fine." 



WM. E. WHEELOCK, East Hampton, N. Y. 



"Your Bovee is the best early potato we have ever had. They yield well, are dry and mealy, and their flavor is 

 excellent."— J. E. A. GIBBS. Raphine, Va. 



"Your Bovee Potato seems likely to flourish in Ireland along side of the immortal shamrock, for the barrel of seed I bought 

 from you two years ago increased to several tons, which my farm- manager writes me he sold in small lots, which went all over 

 the island — since which he has received several letters asking for their history, including one from Col. Webber, Michellstown, 

 County Cork, and another from Standish O'Grady, Esq., editor of 'All Ireland Review.' " — W. A. HANNA, Boston, Mass.
