HENDERSON’S 
HENDERSON’S 
Hollow Grown Parsnip! 
Our selection of this highly esteemed variety is surely the best I 
for the private garden. We have discarded all the types with slim I 
long roots that invariably break in digging, and offer only a shapely! 
heavy-shouldered strain with its greatest girth at the crown and! 
gradually tapering to a small root. This is easily dug, and i! 
suited to a greater variety of soils than any. To secure best! 
results deep digging is essential, and the soil should be free fromf 
stone and well cultivated. 
For winter use lay the roots horizontally in small boxes packed! 
with ordinary garden soil, and store them in some convenient place! 
outdoors away from snow and rain. Bring in a box as needed! 
thawing them out slowly in a moderate temperature. Pros! 
improves their quality. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 20c! 
oz., 60c. % lb., $2.00 lb. 
“ By cultivating my rows of Hollow Crown Parsnips three limes a week, l I 
harvested 20 lbs. of parsnips to the square yard; at this rale one acre would | 
produce 4S and 2-5 tons. This seems unbelievable but I have the goods /of 
show. I got also three bushels of potatoes to the square rod.” 
WILLIAM DURHAM, 1st Nat. Bank Bldg., Cincinnati, Ohio. 
“7 have grown Henderson's Hollow Crown Parsnips for five years now with I 
great success. They have always turned out to be of great size and sple7idid\ 
flavor. I have had many 14 to 15 inches around and 24 inches long.”

Bovee Potato^ 
A Marvel in Earliness! The Earliest of all 
A Marvel in Yield! Outyielding all of the Earlies 
A Marvel in Uniform Size and Perfect Shape 
It is not only early, but produces its crop in great abun¬ 
dance, and yields a very large percentage 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 com¬ 
pact 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 more 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. (See engraving.) Price, $1.7 
peck, $6.00 bushel, $12.00 barrel of 165 pounds net weight. By express 
or freight at purchaser’s expense.

Bovee Pota¬ 
toes I planted 
this spring 
yielded more po¬ 
tatoes than any 
others raised around 
here. The Green 
Mountain Potatoes 
were also very good.”

“Having had such splen¬ 
did results from the last lot of 
your Early Bovee Potatoes, I 
have decided to plant them agai?i 
this year.”

ing.) Price, $1.60 peck, $5.50 bushel, $11.00 barrel of 165 pounds

“ Last year I wrote you about Potatoes, and you sent 7ne Irish Cobbler. I 
am pleased to state that they were a great success. Now I would like to get 
equally good results this year.”
