J. Bolgiatio & Son, Baltimore, Md. 



Last October I purchased of you 1 lb. of your New 

 Crop French grown Self-Blanching Celery, and am 

 well pleased with my crop, and will now take the S lbs. 

 I requested you to reserve for me. 



H. H. CHAPPELL, Florida. 



Gentlemen: — My Celery, grown 

 from your French Golden Self- 

 Blanching Celery Seed took the 

 premium in South Florida last sea- 

 son. It was the finest I have ever 

 grown, and some of it weighed 3 

 lbs. to the bunch.

Messrs. f. Bolgiano & Son. 



Gentlemen: — / have been grow- 

 ing Celery for the past 38 years, 

 but the French Golden Self-Blanch- 

 ing Celery I raised this year from 

 your seeds, beats any I er>er saw. 

 The sample stalk I am sending you 

 weighs most 2 lbs. trimmed for 

 market: this represents the average 

 run of the crop. 



Yours truly, 

 HENRY JASPER, 



Germantown, Md.

Bolgiano's French Grown 



NEW VICTORY CELERY. 



81. An excellent winter Celery. We have grown 

 this seed in America for several years and find by 

 careful experiments it loses some of its solidity ; 

 while Seed we have grown in France remains as solid 

 as the finest stock of French Golden Self-Blanching 

 Celery. As a result we have grown our entire supply 

 for this Season in France and we can recommend it 

 to you as a most solid and most profitable winter 

 celery. Our French grower, carefully selects by hand 

 each individual plant in transplanting and only the 

 absolutely solid plants are retained, the rest are 

 thrown away. Again when he puts the full grown 

 plants in Kilns for Winter, each individual plant is 

 gone over and only the absolutely solid are put in the 

 Kilns. Again in the Springbefore putting the plants 

 in the bed where the celery is to go to seed only the 

 absolutely solid plants are used. We are sure our 

 stock of French Grown "New Victory" Celery is one 

 of the Best Winter Celeries on Earth. 



It has a great amount of heart, is heavier, stouter, 

 and thicker than many of its rivals. It is the most 

 economical Celery yet introduced, every particle 

 being solid, crisp, and of a delicious flavor. Its beau- 

 tiful, large, golden heart and compact growth make 

 an ornament hard to surpass. It is a remarkable 

 keeper, maintaining its firmness as late as May. 

 Critical market gardeners pronounced it to be of the 

 finest quality, best keeper and most salable Celery 

 they have ever raised. It is ready for market by 

 December. PKts 5c and 10c. Oz. 25c. 1/4 Lb. $1.00. 

 1/2 Lb. $1.75. Lb. $3.50.

■"BSjftiSF&S '.SWEETNUT" QfLERX 



76. For home gardens and nearby markets, Bolgiano's New Celery "SWEETNUT" is the most delicious, sweet, nutty, crisp celery that has ever 

 been offered the public. "Sweetnut" Celery has been developed by one of our most careful French Growers for many years. The most rigid 

 selection had to be made to get this strain thoroughly fixed but this season we are delighted to say after two years of exhaustive testing in our Test 

 Gardens we can offer our friends and customers a Celery that is surpassingly delicious. It is absolutely solid, a most excellent winter keeper, of 

 vigorous, sturdy growth, making fine large solid stalks, with a large full creamy-yellow heart. It is necessary to blanch it by earthing up or 

 storing it for the winter. It blanches to a beautiful creamy-yellow, when the stalks are extremely brittle, entirely stringless and exceptionally 

 crisp. On account of its great brittleness it should not be shipped long distances but of course for home use and nearby markets its brittleness is 

 one of its most desirable features. We recommend this Celery to our customers who enjoy the most delicious things the garden affords. Our 

 supply is yet very limited but we want everyone to give it a trial this year. PKt. 10c. Oz. 50c.
