twelve days earlier than
Early Ohio. I'be almost
perfect shape of the 'Bovee'

Early Ohio. Willy ield more
peracre, with a smaller jjro-
portion of unmarketable tu-
bers." — The Rural New-

"BOVEE,"
^HENDERSON'S earliest of all PQTATO/
IS A MARVEL. — .
A Marvel in Quality I A Marvel in Vigor!
White, dry and mealy. Health and freedom from disease.
A Marvel in Yield!
Outyieldlng all of the Earlies, and equaling
the heaviest cropping Lates.
A Marvel in Uniform Size
and perfect shape.
A Marvel of Popularity
in Europe and America.
The above outline of HENDERSON'S "BOVEE" POTATO is about two=thirds natural size.
WHEN 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 a leading place
among the heavy cropping varieties, an unusual thing among first earlies. It is
even earlier than Early Ohio, and compares favorably with Triumph, alight-cropping
variety that has only extreme eat liness to recommend it, while the " Bovee," in all
competitive trials has outyielded all the early Potatoes, and in many of the tests
conducted bj' 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 remark-
ably close, all bunched together in the hill close up to the vine. .See cut.) Thej- size
up to a marketable size more evenly than any Potato we ever saw ; none too large or
too small ; practicallj' 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-daj- compares with it.
