BOLGIANO'S NEW EARLY FORTUNE CUCUMBER. 



THE EARLIEST AND THE BEST WHITE SPINE CUCUHBER EVER OFFERED. 



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

 deeo srreen color Is there any wonder we name this money-maker Early Fortune Cucumber 1 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. \\ e 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 

 erowers 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 even open field culture you had better order immediately, 

 or our our short supply will be exhausted. Oz., 25c. 8 Ozs., 50c. 1/4 Lb., 80c. 1/2 Lb., SI. 50. Lb., $2.50. 



ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER. 

 CROP EXTREnELY SHORT THIS YEAR. 



Never before did a Cucumber leap into prominence as quickly as the Arlington White Spine. Originated a few years ago at the famous garden 

 snot of Arlington, Mass., just back of Boston, where there are many acres under glass it rapidly became known as the finest strain of Cucumber in 

 cultivation Beautiful in shape, color, and of the finest quality. The fruit is long, cylindrical, dark green, with very white, crisp and tender flesh of 

 excellent flavor In the United States the Arlington is used more, perhaps, than any other variety, and ir i excellence is surpassed only by the New

THE CUMBERLAND. 



A New Cucumber. The Best Pickling Cucumber Known. 



This variety is of the hardy, white spine type, is a rapid, strong and 

 vigorous grower and very prolific in fruit. The pickles differ from all 

 other hardy sorts in being thickly set with fine spines over the entire 

 surface, except the extreme stem end; and during the whole period ot 

 growth from the time, they first set until fully grown, the form- is excep- 

 tionally straight and S3 r mmetrical, thus being as choice as a slicing 

 variety as it is for pickles. The flesh is firm but very crisp and tender at 

 all stages. We offer it in full confidence that it will please ourcustomers 

 in every particular. Pkt., 5 and 10c. Oz., 15c. 2 Ozs., 25c. 14

BOLGIANO'S NEW PROLIFIC PICKLING CUCUMBER.— An 



exceptionally fine stock of the pickling varietiesof cucumber; continually 

 bears fruit from the time it first starts up until frost and is undoubtedly 

 the best and most prolific variety for producing pickles. Vines are 

 strong and vigorous, jdelding immense quantities of fruit, and remains 

 in a fresh, healthy, growing state longer than any other sort. Skin is 

 very thin, tender and quite free from toughness when pickled. Pkt., 5 

 and 10c. Oz., 15c. 2 Ozs., 25c. 1/4 Lb., 50c. 1/2 Lb., 75c.

COY'S Early Cyclone Cucumber. 



Coy's Early Cyclone Cucumber is the earliest White Spine Cucumber 

 in cultivation. It is a little shorter and thicker than any other early 

 Cucumber, and with the exception of our Early Fortune Cucumber, it 

 will hold its deep green color better than any other Cucumber grown. 

 Pkt., 10c. Oz., 40c. 2 Ozs., 75c. l/4Lb., $1.25. l/2Lb., $2.50 

 Lb., $5.00. 



CULTURE. — For very early Cucumbers, sow first of April in hot-bed, 

 upon pieces of sod (grass-side dawn), so that they can be readily trans- 

 planted to open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost is over, or 

 protect by hand glasses. For early use, plant if w eather 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 irom June until the middle of July.
