 Crops 



Henderson's Bovee 



A Marvel in Earliness ! The Earliest of all 



A Marvel in Yield! Outyielding all of the Earlies 



It is not only early, but produces its crops in 

 great abundance, and yields a very large percent- 

 age of perfectly formed tubers. The cultivator 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 tnan any other sort, delights in a 

 rich soil, responding more generously to good treatment : 

 given the proper soil conditions, frequent and thorough cul- 

 tivation and fairly good climatic conditions, it will yield an 

 abundance of medium-sized potatoes of perfect shape and re- 

 markablv good quality. (See engraving.) 

 Price, $2.00 peck, $7.00 bush, $14.00 sack of 165 lbs. net weight. 



By express or freight at purchaser's expense. 



Uncle Sam 



Prodigious Cropper, Quality Perfect, White, Dry and Floury 



We believe Uncle Sam to be the heaviest yielding variety grown. On 

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

 ages remarkably regular in size and shape. Its appearance and superb 

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

 pearance gaining instant favor. The tubers are oval shaped, with light 

 russet skin, very even in outline and with shallow eyes. (See engraving. j

Improved Green 

 Mountain 



A reilable medium late Potato. It 

 seems to thrive in all soils and in all 

 localities, making heavy, healthy 

 vines, and yielding big crops of 

 large, smooth, white-skinned tubers 

 of handsome flatfish 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 decav. Price, $1.75 peck, 

 $6.00 bush., $12.00 sack of 165 lbs. net 

 weight. 



By express or freight at purchaser's expense. 



Sir Walter Raleigh 



This is one of the best varieties for a 

 main crop, and is admirably adapted to gen- 

 eral cultivation. The vines are of average size, but 

 so vigorous that they stand erect long enough to allow 

 necessary cultivation. It produces an extremely large 

 crop of round, slightly flattened tubers, smooth, white 

 skinned, and very attractive in appearance. 



Its good qualitv is greatly improved when stored in a 

 cool, dry cellar. When cooked it breaks up thoroughly, 

 presenting a flaky, snowy appearance, at once appetizing 

 and indicative of its superior flavor. 



Price, $1.75 peck, $6.00 bush., $12.00 sack of 165 lbs. net 

 weight. By express or freight at purchaser's expense. 



Irish Cobbler 



A fine, early variety, producing large, handsome tubers, 

 uniform in shape and size. 



The flesh is white, and of excellent quality: the skin 

 very light brown, with whitish netting. It is a heavy 

 cropper. (See engraving.) Price $1.75 peck, $6.00 bush., 

 $12.00 sack of 165 lbs. net weight. 



By express or freight at purchaser's expense.
