HENDERSON'S 



Bovee Potato. 



A Universally Popular Extra Early. 



A RELIABLE AND HEAVY CROPPEK. 



QUALITY FINE. WHITE, DRY AND MEALY 



LJEXDERSOX'S Bovee Potato is not only extra early, but in 

 1 * 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. pk., $2.75 bush., $5.50 

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

 firm as wlien first dug. They cook quick and took as white as snow." CHAS. H. BODIXE, Xorth Adams, Mass. 



The Bovee Potato lias been a great success with me, although we have had a serious drought. I began digging tltem 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, X. Y. 

 " Your statements regarding the Bovee Potato in your catalogue are all true. I know it, for we have grown them ever since 

 you introduced them. They are as good a potato as one need ever want or is likely to get. Our hands — you know I am a 

 farmer's wife — beg for Bovees, preferring them to all others, the flavor is so fine."
