CHICAGO WARTED 
HUBBARD SQUASH. 
This form of the Hubbard 
isagreat favorite with many 
marketmen, as it is very 
striking in appearance, and 
having been selected for 
years from exceptionally 
large specimens, it crops 
heavily. The warty knobs 
draw general attention, and 
it will generally sell in the 
market better than those 
having smooth shells. We 
do not think it of as good 
quality as the smooth shelled 
sort, and the greater hard- 
ness of the shell is more ap- 
parent than real. + Pound,

Karly Prolific Orange Marrow.—A comparatively new

ton Marrow, but itis a decided improvement on it, being 
much earlier and more productive. These characteristics 
wil commend this variety to market gardeners, while its 
brilliant orange red color and fine keeping and cooking qual- 
itics make it popular with the consumer. The rind is very 
hard, but thin, and the fiesh deep, fine grained and of deli-

Bolgiano’s Tomato Seed Produce the Best Tomatoes that Grow, 
And Greater Care Than Ever Has Been Exercised in the Production of These Seed. 
One ounce to 1,500 plants. 
Six to eight ounces to an acre. 
CULTURE OF TOMATO.—Seed may be started in hot-bed in March, or sufficient plants for family use can be grown in: 
pots or boxes indoors with very little trouble. Be particular to give plants the benefit of the fresh air and sun whenever 
judicious, for the purpose of hardening them, and cover with mats when necessary to prevent them from frosting. The two 
extremes of heat and cold are equally injurious. It is customary with the best gardeners to remove the plants from the 
hot-beds to the cold frames, allowing a distance of several inches between the plants. In May select and prepare the soil, 
and set the plants three feet apart each way. Hoe and draw earth to the stems. When the plants crowd the fruit will be 
small. Have the soil very rich. For general crop, sow from the middle of April or during May in the open air, selecting 
ood soil in a location much exposed to the sun and sheltered by a hill, fence, or woods on the north. 
BOLGIANO’S PRIZE-TAKER TOMATO. 
This is the most beautiful of all tomatoes; very 
early. If picked while yet green it ripens gradually 
into a rich, glossy crimson color, and this makes it 
the best shipper for early markets. It is smooth, 
solid, iarge and heavy, and holds the size from its 
first till the last of the crop. A plateful of this 
handsome fruit will ornament any table. Superior 
for market, canning and shipping—Packets, dc. and

NEW FREEDOM TOMATO. 
Is, without doubt, the best extra early tomato ever 
placed into the trucker’s hands. It is robust in 
plant; a prolific bearer. Fruit grows in clusters, are 
bright scarlet, and unlike most so-called earliest va- 
rieties (which after the first picking are usually small 
fruited) this variety even increases in size up to its 
last picking. This last feature is a very valuable one 
to the trucker. It also has a very tough skin, and 
flesh is very firm, making it the best shipper of the 
extra early varieties—Packet,10c. Ounce, 25¢c. }
