& .PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK- 
W HEN we introduced Henderson’s Bovee Potato, our own tests and the 
opinions of others led us to claim a good deal for it, and our confidence 
has not been misplaced. Not only is it the earliest, but it takes 
leading place among the heavy cropping varieties, an unusual thing among 
first earlies. It is even earlier than Early Ohio, and compares favorablv with 
Triumph, a light-cropping variety that has only extreme earliness to recommend 
it, while the Bovee in all competitive trials has outyielded all the early Potatoes 
and in many of the 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 remarkably close, all bunched together in the hill close up to the vine' They 
grow to a marketable 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 to-day compares with it. (See cut.)

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY OF IT: 
" The Bovee Potatoes from you did spendidly. From the half a peck planted 1 
dug 8 bushels." A. C. MODENBACH, St. Mary's, Pa. 
“ The Bovee is the best early potato we ever had; they yield well, are so dry and 
mealy, and of such excellent flavor that we shall plant them again." 
J. E. A. GIBBS, Raphine, Va. 
“ Let me say that the Bovee Potato has proved a great success with me. A /though 
we have had a serious drought, and the soil was light and sandy, the potato has done 
remarkably well. I begun to dig them the first week in July; they arc large and fine." 
WM. E. WHEELOCK, East Hampton, N. Y. 
“ The Bovee Potatoes yielded well and I am more than satisfied. I shall plant 
them and discard [the Early Ohio." — CHAS. II. CARPENTER, Kansas City, Kans. 
“ Your Bovee is the earliest potato raised in this section as varieties planted earlier 
failed, and those planted with mine were two to three weeks later." 
LOUIS R. SMITH, Takoma Park, D. C. 
“ The Bovee is at least 12 days earlier than Early Ohio. The almost perfect 
shape of the Bovee would win the prize every time oyer the poorly shaped Early 
Ohio. Will yield more per acre, with a smaller proportion of unmarketable tubers." 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
NEW EARLY POTATO, N0R0T0N REAUTY. 
One of the most valuable new potatoes introduced for several 
years. It is one of the earliest, one of the handsomest and one of 
the most productive of the extra earlies. The tubers grow closely 
in the hill, average very uniform in size and shape, and mature all 
together. They are of good size, nearly round, with few and shallow 
eyes and smooth russet skin with rosy tinges. The flesh is white, 
dry and mealy, and of superb quality. Although Noroton Beauty is 
so early, yet it is a good cropper and a splendid keeper. 
The plant is quite distinct, growing compact and erect with 
broad deep green foliage, its luxuriance being maintained until the 
tubers ripen, when the vine dies completely down to the ground.
