 well enriched. Sow in drills one foot apart and one inch deep as early 

 as the ground can be worked; when the plants are large enough, thin 

 out to stand six inches apart in rows, continue sowing for a succession as 

 late as the middle of August. KEEP WELL CULTIVATED.

 Messrs J. Bolgiano & Son: } 



Gentlemen — It would be a hardship to many planters if you had to 



suspend business on account of the Great Baltimore Fire as no catalogue 



that I have ever seen gives reliable seeds and flowers at such low rates.

Bolgiano's Extra Early Eclipse Beet. 



4. The remarkable demand and the ever increasing popularity of this Beet would compel us, 

 if we had not from our own tests passed judgment upon it, to rank it among the most valuable 

 varieties we have for either market or private gardens. It was introduced from Germany as a 

 selection or hybrid from the famous Egyptian. It is remarkable for its very rapid growth, the 

 perfection of its form-which is globular-of its beautiful crimson flesh and for its dwarf foliage. 

 The roots are of a bright glossy red; very fine grain, and of a delicious flavor. 



PKt. 5c, Oz. 10c. 1/4 Lb. 15c, 1/2 Lb. 20c, Lb. 35c. 



5. CROSBY'S IMPROVED EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN 

 BEET. — Earliest of all, at the same time, best of all 

 Egyptian Beets. Almost globular in shape, perfectly- 

 smooth with a single tap root and but a few short tops. 

 In color our stock is uniformly dark red. Of many new 

 varieties introduced within the last few years none have 

 driven this standard variety from its leading position. It 

 is used with great profit by the largest growers of Beets. 

 If you want a true dark strain of this most excellent Beet, 

 secure your seed from Bolgiano of Baltimore. PKt. 5c, 

 Oz. 10c, 1/4 Lb. 15c, 1/2 Lb. 20c. Lb. 35c. 



6. NEW CRIMSON GLOBE" BEET. (This is one of 

 the BEST BUNCHING Beets yet introduced.)— We have

 globe shape, and has a remarkable smooth surface. Both 

 the skin and flesh are deep rich red, fine grained, sweet
