, Northern Grown Seed Potatoes. 



Successful potato growers know the value of good seed, and wiJl use none but Xorthern grown seed of 

 good quality if it is possible to be had. To others I will state that success in potato growing depends more upon 

 the seed used than anything — I might almost say everything — else. The seed pototoes here quoted, like everythiag 

 else I offer, are of the very finest Xorthern grown seed ; smooth, tiright. clean, solid and beautiful. They are 

 in perfect condition and entirely dormant, having been stored in cellars especially constructed for the purpose, 

 and ar€ in new double-headed barrels (for which, by the way. I make no charge, nor for shipping or cartage). I 

 would suggest to my patrons to order early,, as there is going to be a shortage, a blizzarjd at the Xorth early in 

 the autumn having rmned thousands of barrels before they could be harvested. 



New Extra Early 

 Potato, 



THE BOVEE 



The Earliest and >lost Pro- 

 ductive of Ail Early Po- 

 tatoes. 



A marvelous introduction 

 among early potatoes, re- 

 markable both for its ex- 

 treme earliness and im- 

 mense yield, and possessing 

 such gVeat merit in other 

 wavs. such as vigorous 

 growth, freedom from 

 disease, and excellent qual- 

 ity, as to place it easily 

 at the head of all early 

 varieties. It is earlier than 

 Earlv Ohio by several days, 

 and not only a greater 

 cropper than any of the 

 other early sorts, but it 

 e.rceeds even the late va- 

 rieties in i/ieJd. The tubers 

 are white, exceedingly 

 smooth and handsome, 

 of good marketable size 

 (running very even), and 

 are exceptionally uniform 

 in size and appearance, 

 In fine quality it has no 

 superior: being white. 



floury and fine-grained, alwavs dry— whether boiled or baked— and rich in flavor. The vine is a dwarf grower, 

 but robust and stocky, with the tubers forming in a compact hill. I am convinced that the Bovee is the best 

 early i otato yet introduced, for earliness. large yield and good quality: excelling in either or all of these important 

 properties. From ^^very quarter come words of praise and commendation of it. In all competitive trials the Bovee 

 has outyielded all other early varieties and. in many instances the heaviest-yielding late kinds. It is destined 

 to become the leading market early potato, and will be planted in immense quantity to the exclusion of all other 

 early sorts. True seed of it is scarce, and. o^ing to the great demand for it the supply will probably become 

 exhausted early in the season. It is probable that inferior varieties will be substituted for it by some seedsmen ; 

 hence I advise"mv patrons to order from me direct to be certain that thev get thetrue Bovee. Pound, 30c ; 3 

 pounds for 75c {by mail). Peck, 60c ;^bushel [60 lbs.), $1.75; barrel [I6d /5.5.).'$4.50.

 for the table. It certainly is one of the most product-

 sent out for it by care-

 of twenty-five to a hundred 

 barrels of any of these varieties, and will mail samples,, 

 if desired, in' quoting prices.
