J , BOLGIANO'S NEW EARLY FORTUNE CUCUMBER. 



Tire EARLIEST and tlie BEST Wliite Spine Cucnmber Ever Offered. 



FULL-BLOODED, as pretty as a picture, extremely early, wonderfully productive, a model in shape, of the most inviting 

 and attractive deep green color. Is there any wonder we name this money-maker Early Fortune Cucumber? From very 

 expensive and thorough tests of every Cucumber grown, we selected the parents of this excellent stock. The result went 

 far beyond our greatest hope. We found we had a Cucumber that was without a doubt the finest in the world. Realizing a 

 very heavy demand would immediately come as soon as the Cucumber growers learned of our Early Fortune Cucumber, we 

 let one year go by in order to insure our supply of seed, but even now the quantity of this seed is very limited. If you wish 

 to secure any of it this coming year for hot-house, frames or open field culture, you had better order immediately, or our 

 short supply will be exhausted. Oz., 2oc. 1/4 Ll»., 50c. 1/2 Lb., SOc. Lb., ^1.50. 5 Lbs., $0.25. 10 Lbs.. $10.00.

 CLIMBING 

 CUCUMBER. 



All Cucurrtbers are 

 of trailing or creep- 

 ing habit, but this 

 one is a real climb- 

 er, and does best 

 on pole or trellis. It 

 comes into bearing 

 quickly, and sets 

 its fruit constantly 

 throughout the sea- 

 son. The fruit is of 

 an excellent qual- 

 ity, of dark green 

 color. The flesh is 

 pure white, and 

 never bitter.

 in hot-bed, upon pieces of sod(grass-side down), so that they 

 can be readily transplanted to open ground, in rich soil, when 

 danger of frost is over, or protect by hand glasses. For early 

 use plant if weather has become settled and warm, in hills 

 about 4 feet apart each way; thin out to 4 of the strongest 

 plants to each hill after all danger from insects is over. For 

 pickles, plant from June until the middle of July.
