Bolgiano's New Pearl Wax Beans 



A Wonderful Long-Pod Wax Bean 



Enormous Plant Enormous Pod Enormous Yield 



Never Affected By Rust ar Blight 



1031. If you had grown it in your field as we did, when for 

 almost two solid months we had copious rains every day, and it 

 showed no signs of blight or rust, you would agree with us when 

 we say that a bean that will yield a fine crop of beautiful long, 

 flat clean wa.Ky pods under such adverse circumstances, certainly 

 cannot be praised too highly. It is a PEARL, of great value. Al- 

 though a flat bean, the seed looks somewhat like a Valentine 

 Bean; the plant grows Zyi ft. high by 2 ft. across. It is a re- 

 markably sturdy, rank vigorous grower, well loaded with pods. 

 The luxuriant foilage shelters the pod from the hot sun, and is 

 free from blight or rust. The pods are long, slim, flat, plump, 

 handsome and meaty; they somewhat resemble those of the Davis 

 and Warden's Wax Beans, but are plumper, longer and straight- 

 er. They average from 7 to 8 inches long, and are of a clean, 

 light waxy yellow color. As to quality, the pods are exception- 

 ally tender, brittle, and of fine texture, free from fibre, and if 

 picked when ripe they are entirely stringless. Both for Shippers, 

 Market Gardeners and the Home Garden, the exceptionally good 

 qualities of Bolgiano's Xew Pearl Wax Bean renders it of the 

 greatest value. Pkt. 10c. Pt. 15c. Ot. 25c. 4 Ots. 85c. Pk. $1.50.

Bolgiano's New "Home, Sweet Home" Bean 



1134. A most delicious bean for the home garden, very pro- 

 ductive, large, long, handsome flat pods, full of big, rich tender 

 sweet beans. The beans when dried make the finest kind of 

 winter dried beans and when baked will fairly melt in your 

 mouth. If you once try the Home, Sweet Home Beans, you will 

 always have it in your kitchen garden. Market gardeners will also 

 find this a very lucrative bean to sell to fancy market or grocery 

 store trade. Pkt. 10c. Pt. 15c. Qt. 25c. 2 Ozs. 45c. 4 Qts. 75c.

Bolgiano's Extremely Early Hardy "May Queen Beans" 



1001. Five years having passed since we introduced this pro- 

 lific Larly beau, it has become an indispensable variety with 

 many of our customers. It is remarkably early, exceedingly pro- 

 lihc and its e.xtra large finely shaped straight dark green pods 

 are always solid tender and of a delicious flavor and borne in 

 great aoundancc. it is a most excellent shipping bean carrying 

 in fine shape for many days after it is picked. Some of our cus- 

 tomers have also tried it as a late bean with astonishing results; 

 they were so well pleased with it as an early bean they w-anted 

 more of them and, therefore, e.xperimented successfully with 

 them in the Fall. The stock is perfect, the plants are of a 

 strong, robust habit and mature the crop very regularly. If you 

 do not already grow "The May Queen," you should certainly 

 give it a trial. Pkt. 10c. Pt. 15c. Ot. 25c. 2 Ots. 45c. 4 Ots.

Bolgiano's "Mighty-Nice" Bean 



1033. This wonderful, new round meaty, green podded bean 

 had for its parents t^'O separate and distinct stocks of Thor- 

 onglibred Hopkins Improved Earliest Red Valentine Beans 

 and in the breeding ot their stocks has produced an Extremely 

 Early and most prodigiously productive stock of beautiful deep 

 green, round podded Valentine Beans. The flavor and quality 

 cooked and tested side by side with 50 other leading varieties 

 proved the Bolgiano "Mighty-Nice" Bean to be by far the most 

 delicious and tender. 



We have been experimenting with "Mighty Nice" Bean for 

 years and we can unreservedly recommend it as the greatest new 

 production in the way of Green Podded Beans in the last ten 

 years. Being an extremely new stock it is free from the faults 

 that accumulate around stocks that have been on the market for 

 a few years. W^e have succeeded in getting the type thoroughly 

 fixed and we are willing to say that you will hardly find one off 

 vine in an acre of "Mighty Nice." If you want the most 

 productive, the most beautiful, the most salable and the best mar- 

 ket or shipping crop of round green podded beans you have ever 

 raised, by all means plant a patch of Bolgiano's "Mighty Nice" 

 Beans — The coming Leader Among Beans. Pkt. 10c. Pt. 15c.

1008. This is a great improvement on old time popular favorite 

 Valentine Bean. The pods are fully one-third longer, averaging 5 to 

 6 inches in length; absolutely stringless, very crisp, round full and 

 fleshy. It is enormously productive, its handsome pods being ready 

 for market a few days earlier than the old Valentine. We confidently 

 recommend it either for the home garden or as a profitable variety to

 sively plant some of the "Mav Oueen" beans for your own home use 

 and enjoyment. Pkt. 10c. Pt. 15c. Qt. 25c. 4 Qts. 75c. Pk. $1.35. Bu.
