 Florida High Bush Extremely Prolific — Stand Drought 



On July 8th, Mr. D. P. Hurr, of Colorado Co., Texas, wrote: "The 'Florida High 

 Bush Egg Plant' Seed that I got from you is the best for Texas. We had a severe drought 

 just after the seed came up, lasting six weeks. The plants grew right along, making high, 

 enormous bushes, and are now full of beautiful eggs and blooms. They beat any kind 

 that I have ever tried here, as they stand drought so well and are so prolific." 

 Always Failed Until Trying Bolgiano's "Black Beauty" 



On September 8th, Mr. Geo. R. Pellon, of Washington Co., Md., wrote: "In regard 

 to Bolgiano's 'Black Beauty' Egg Plant Seed, I wish to say that it is 0. K. I have tried 

 for several years to raise Egg Plants, but never until this year have I been able to raise 

 them, but look out for this year. They must be some Egg Plant. They are still bearing 

 although the weather is dry." 



Bolgiano's "Black Beauty" Beat Them All 



On November ilh, Mr. H. Burgess, of Duval Co., Fla., wrote as follows: "The 'Black 

 Beauty' Egg Plant Seed I got from you last December beat any kind I ever planted. Was 

 earlier and more prolific."

Culture. The Kales are more hardy than Cabbage, make excellent 

 greens for Winter and Spring use, and are improved by frost. Sow from May 

 to June, and cultivate the same as Cabbage. For early Spring use sow in 

 September, and protect during Winter. Some of the varieties are so hardy 

 that the green leaves may be dug out from under the snow in Winter and be 

 used for greens. 



113. Bore Cole or Kale. Hardy Winter Spargel Kohl. The most 

 salable, delicious and tender of all Winter Kales. About Baltimore it is sown 



in May, and transplanted like Cabhage to stand oyer Winter. It is taller than the extra dwarl varieties and when the 

 leaves are stripped or fall off, new tender leaves quickly grow out. Then they are again stripped off and used for mar- 

 keting. It will stand the coldest Winter. Besides being a delicious vegetable, it has always been an exceptionally prof- 

 itable crop, bringing money during the Winter months when most all vegetables are scarce. Pkts. 5c and 10c. y 2 Oz.
