CUL,TURK. For very early, sow in hotbeds upon pieces of sod: or in small pots, they can be readily transplanted with a gain of about six -weeks 

 before they can be sown in the open. Plant out in rich soil when danger of frost is over, or protect by hand glasses; or by paper held down at the comers 

 with earth. For general crops sow in the open as soon as the weather is settled and warm, and every two weeks for a succession. For pickles sow from 

 middle of June to Fourth of July. Sud land, turned over in the fall, is the best for them. Plant in hills 4 feet apart, putting a shovelful of well rotted man- 

 ure in each hill. 



Bolgiano's Early Fortune Cncnmber. Actually proven by many 

 expert growers to be the earliest and the Best Dark Green White Spine 

 Cucumber on Earth. Full blooded, as pretty as a picture, and extremely 

 early, wonderfully productive, a model in shape, of the most in\nting and 

 attractive deep green color. Without a doubt the finest in the world. If you 

 wish to secure any of it this year for hot-house, frames or open field culture, 

 you had better order immediately, or our short supply will be exhausted.
