1818 BOLQANO'S COMPLETE LIST OF 1907 



^Standard Vegetable JSeeds. 



FOR EIGHTY-NINE YEARS WE HAVE WON CONFIDENCE— Not by chance, not by luck, but by 

 honest, untiring efforts. Our undivided time and attention is given to growing the choicest and most 

 reliable Seeds. We carefully select all the highest grade stocks, and eliminate those which our test gar- 

 dens prove would be unprofitable for the trucker or gardener to grow. We never recommend any article 

 unless we are certain, by actual test, it possesses merits superior to anything the trucker already has. 

 We watch for improvement in character, shape, form, color, attractiveness and best selling qualities. 

 These improvements we quickly note and encourage. Remember as you read through this catalogue what 

 we say about each article has been gathered from our actual experience together with the experience of 

 the most up-to-date and successful practical market gardeners and truckers in every part of the world.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS. 



No effort put forth in the garden will bring more pleasure and satisfaction than an established 

 Asparagus bed, if this is thoroughly prepared according to the following directions. A bed 20 by 50 feet, 

 set with 1000 two-year old roots, will last for years and furnish an abundance. 



DIRECTIONS. — Select a good sandy loam, plow the ground as deep as possible, dig out 12 inches deep, 

 put in a layer of 4 inches of good, strong stable manure, and press down ; then fill in with good, rich, black 

 loam to the top of the bed. Sow on top of bed 100 pounds kainit to 1000 square feet of bed ; incorporate 

 this thoroughly to depth of 3 inches. After leveling bed off even, stretch a line the length of bed 9 inches 

 from the edge, and with a spade cut a furrow 8 inches deep, set a row of plants along the trench 9 inches 

 apart, with the crowns of the roots 2 inches below the surface ; then cover up, make even and plant other 

 rows 9 inches apart.

To afford a regular succession of crops, plant every two weeks, from the 

 Summer, but not until the soil becomes warm, as they are very sensitive 

 in rows 18 inches apart, 2 inches deep ; cultivate frequently, but only 

 when dry, as the scattering of earth on the foliage or pods when moist, 

 will cause them to become damaged with rust. This crop will flourish 

 between the ridges of celery, rows of corn or cabbage, when they are 

 first planted, as the Beans would be ready for the table before the other 

 crops attain any size.
