BOLGIHNO'S NEW "GREAT GISNT" SALSIFY. 



BY far the largest, smoothest, most tender Salsify ever sold the trucker. Its delicious flavor and at- 

 tractive appearance, brings the bu} r ers and holds their trade. It easily outsells every other Salsify, 

 for "It is the Best." It outyields all other varieties. One trucker, who tried the "Great Giant," 

 said that it was ideal, it was the Salsify he would always grow in preference to all others, for he readily 

 sold all he had brought to market at a better price and much quicker than his neighbors. Grow the best. 

 It pays. Pkt., 10c. Oz., 15c. 2 Oz., 25c. 1/4 LI)., 50c. 1/2 Lb., 90c. Lb., SI. 50.

CULTURE OF SALSIFY Sow early in Spring, in drills 15 inches apart ; cover with fine soil, 1^ 



inches deep, thin to 6 inches apart. • As soil is strong and inclines to depth and lightness, it proportion- 

 ately is adapted to Salsffy, As the leaves resemble grass, be careful they are not mistaken whilst weed- 

 ing. Salsify keeps over Winter, like Parsnips. 



# Your new " Great Giant," Salsify opened the eyes of my neighbors. It is undoubtedly the largest, \ 

 /finest flavor and most tender Salsify I have ever grown. <\

.NEW "GREAT GIANT" SALSIFY. 



1 Oz. for 100 feet of Drill ; 

 10 to 12 lbs. in Drills for an Acre. 

 Broadcast, 15 to 35 lbs. per Acre. 



iHIS IS AN IMPORTANT market gardener's crop, of easy culture. For Winter, Spring and Summer 

 use, sow either broadcast or in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be 

 worked, and every two weeks for a succession. For Winter and early Spring use, sow in Septem- 

 ber, in well-manured ground; cover with straw on the approach of severe cold weather. The ground 

 cannot be too rich ; the stronger the ground the more delicate and succulent will be the leaves. 



New improved Curled Long-Standing Spinach. 



ESPECIALLY FINE FOR SPRING SOWING. 



OF a periect, rich, attractive green color, distinct from all other varieties, and easily recognized. A 

 buyer of Spinach cannot pass you if you have this beautiful stock for sale. Its growth is abun- 

 dant, and it will retain a fresh, luxuriant appearance for three or lour weeks after the most stub- 

 born seeding varieties have become yellow and gone to seed. Your early Spring garden 

 will be incomplete without a generous sowing of Improved Curled Long-Standing 

 Spinach. This Spinach combines the extremely curled leaf of our Blooms- 

 dale Curled Savoy Spinach, and its own unequaled long-standing qualities, 

 with a beautiful green, which will invariably draw customers your way 

 and bring you the top prices. Our oldest and" most experienced customers 

 pronounce this Spinach the best they have ever grown for Spring, Summer, 

 FaA, or the coldest Winter, and when for a short time, on account of our 

 heavy demand, we were unable to supply all of their orders, they invariably 

 said no variety came near enough to this leader to take its place, even in an 

 emergency, and they would rather wait until the new crop came in, so that 

 they could get Bolgiano's Improved Curled Long-Standing Spinach. From 

 our careful tests we learned its merits before we put it in the hands of the 

 truckers ; they immediately realized its value and have from year to year 

 increased their orders until, from 100 pounds three years ago, our annual 

 sales now amount to many tons. Oz., 5c. 1/4 Lb., 10c. 1/2 Lb., 15c.
