JBOLGIANO'S NEW PEARL WAX BEAN.j 



! 



New California 



RUST-PROOF 

 DWARF-WAX 



1024. One of the handsomest 

 and most productive flat podded 

 "Wax Bean ever grown. In this 

 new variety, we have one of the 

 very best wax sort for market 

 gardeners and private families. 

 It will sell twice as well and at 

 a higher price than other sorts. 

 The pods are longer, broader and 

 of a brighter yellow color than 

 many other sorts, very superior 

 quality, tender and stringless. 

 Thevines areof vigorous growth, 

 leaves dark green, hardy and 

 yield enormous quantities of 

 large, handsome, flat, meaty 

 pods, borne well up from the 

 ground and has not shown any 

 disposition to rust, no matter 

 where grown. It is from eight 

 to ten days earlier than the Val- 

 entine. The seeds should not 

 be planted closer than 4 inches 

 apart in the row. We particu- 

 larly recommend this valuable 

 sort to market gardeners.

BOLGIANO'S 



SUNSHINE 



WAX BEAN. 



1018. The beautiful, clear, at- 

 tractive, bright golden color of 

 this most delicious Wax Bean 

 gave it the name of Sunshine 

 Wax. In the market, side by 

 side with many of the older and 

 better known Wax Beans, the 

 Sunshine Wax shone out and 

 immediately attracted the atten- 

 tion of all. 



The vines are so heavily laden 

 with an abundance of long, 

 round, shapely pods it seems 

 hardly possible that they can 

 hold them all. You think of 

 the Suiishine again when you 

 are marketing a large crop of 

 fine Beans a week or two before 

 your neighbors have begun to 

 pick. Now is your chance ; or- 

 der quick. Our supply is very 

 limited this season.

1031 BOLGIANO'S NEW PEARL WAX BEAN 



The name of this grand new bean partly tells how good it is._ If you had grown it in your field or garden last summer, like we did, when for 



t k almost two solid months we had copious rains every day, and it showed no signs of blight or rust, you would agree with us when we say a bean 

 that will yield a fine crop of beautiful long, flat, clean waxy pods, under such adverse circumstances, certainly cannot be praised too highly. It is 

 I a PEARI, of Great Value. Although a flat bean, the seed looks somewhat like a Valentine Bean ; the plant grows about 2% ft. high by 2 ft. across. 

 § It is a remarkably sturdy, rank, vigorous grower, well leaded with pods. The luxuriant foliage shelters the pods from the hot sun, and is free from 

 ' blight or rust. The pods are long, slim, flat, plump, handsome and meaty; they somewhat resemble those of the Davis and Wardell's Wax 3eans, 

 • but are plumper, longer, and straighter. They average from 7 to 8 inches long, and are of a clean light waxy yellow color. As to quality, the pods 

 J are exceptionally tender, brittle, and of fine texture, free from fiber, and if picked when ripe, they are entirely stringless. Both for shippers, mar- 

 I ket eardeners and the Home Garden, the exceptionally good qualities of Bolgiano's New Pearl Wax bean renders it of the greatest value,

Baltimore, Md. 



The packet of your 

 melon, "Cold Moun- 

 tain S pring" was 

 planted and fulfilled 

 every claim you made 

 for them. In fact, 

 they are the ideal 

 m elo nfor Southern 

 markets, prolific, uni- 

 formly good size, 

 tough rind, flesh firm 

 and delicious. You 

 may expect a good de- 

 ma ndfor th is variety 

 of seed at this point 

 another season. Ad- 

 vertise early, keep the 

 stock pure and you 

 will have a bonanza 

 in this melon. 



Yours truly,

 Gentlemen : — Will 

 you be so kind as to 

 enter my order for 50 

 lbs. of Selected Cold 

 Mountain Spring 

 Watertnelon Seed. No 

 other variety will be 

 planted Jiere another 

 year, and your firm 

 iv ill be called upon for 

 about 250 lbs. of seed 

 of this variety at 

 Clermont, and the 

 neighboring points 

 will likely order the 

 same amount. This 

 is by far the best 

 Melon we ever plant- 

 ed: so be sure and keep 

 the seed pure and up 

 to the standard.

m - Rn1cnann'« PoM Mountain Srwino 1 WatsrmAlnh New Variety.— I,ast summer we were spending our yaca- 

 OOlgianO S V^OICI mQUIUaill Opring W aiermeiOn. tion in the Mountains. During our absence, one of the 

 leading Watermelon growers, living about 100 miles from Baltimore, wrote us, he had for a number of years been developing an extra, selected 

 strain of Watermelon, and the results of his efforts had gone far beyond anything he had ever hoped to produce. Were we interested ? He shipped 

 us several samples, these came on boat to Baltimore 100 miles, then on railroad through the mountains for 250 miles. Reaching us in perfect condi- 

 tion after traveling 350 miles, through rough country and roughly handled. These melons attracted the attention of everyone by their beautiful 

 deep green color, stately size and excellent shape. We had them on exhibition, then took them with us back into the mountains. We put the 

 Melons in a Gold Mountain Spring, and in a few hours we cut them. The Melons were in a perfect condition, "Red to the Rind," and entirely 

 free from stringiness. We immediately inspected the crop. The Cold Mountain Spring Watermelon is a winner as a shipper, as a table Melon 

 and as a Money Maker. Our supply of seed is necessarily limited and only the seed produced by the originator, so order immediately. PKt. 10c 

 Oz. 15c. 1/4 Lb. 40c 1/2 Lb. 75c Lb. $1.50.
