 Bolgiano's BlacK Beauty Egg Plant.

 Fine flavor. 



Most attractive appearance.

Satin gloss and rich coloring add greatly to the beauty of the fruit. 

 The intense, brilliant coloring is uniform over the whole fruit and 

 does not fade or change to a lighter color at the blossom end.

 making a beautiful contrast with the fine dark color of the fruit.

13. Fruit sets freely.

 readily bring double the price. PKts. 5c and 10c. 1/2 Oz. 20c. 02.30c.

Bolgiano s Florida High Bush Egg Plant. 



99. The Florida Hig'h Bash Eggplant has proved of the greatest value 

 to the Southern truckers and shippers. It has been grown in Florida for the 

 past three or four years. It is remarkable for its vigorous growth and pro- 

 ductiveness, is very hardy, and will stand more cold weather than the New 

 York improved. The hot Sun does not blight the blossoms. The plant has 

 a characteristic leaf, unlike any other Egg Plant we know of. It grows 

 from 3 to 4 feet high, erect and sturdy, free from thorns. Fruit is large, ob- 

 long in shape and purple, though not so deep a color as the New York Im- 

 proved. It resists drought and wet weather to a wonderful degree, partly 

 onaccountofitsstronguprightgrowth. Itstandsthecoldbetter.and is the only 

 Egg Plant that stands shipping from this section to the Northern markets 

 under almost all circumstances. It is of a large size, first-class shape and 

 superior flavor. Its shipping qualities are the very best. It brings the 

 highest price in the Northern markers, keeping its freshness and condition 

 much longer than any other variety. The growers realize good returns form 

 this variety when all other varieties have been reported "arrived in bad con- 

 dition," and many would not plant any other variety. PKts. 5c and 10c. 

 1/2 Oz. 20c. Oz. 30c. 2 Ozs. 55c. 1/4 Lb. $1.00. 1/2 Lb. $1.75. Lb. $3.50.

BlacK Beauty Egg' Plant. 



Bolgiano's Beautiful 



THe Best Beet That Grovrs. 



For Eight Years This Splendid Beet Has Led All Others. 



18. Our long experience in the growing of Beets has shown this new strain of Beet to be the 

 Extra Early Deep-Blood Turnip Beet, not only for market gardeners, but home gardens. Its 

 small upright growing tops, extra early maturing, splendid shape and deep crimson color 

 make it popular with everyone. The rows may be grown close together. In the leaf the stem 

 and veins are dark red, the blade green. The roots are globular and peculiarly smooth; color 

 of skin and flesh is deep blood red, very crisp, tender, fine-grained and sweet, remaining so for 

 a long time. We believe this excellent new stock will produce a crop more uniform in shape, 

 color and quality than any Beet ever placed in the hands of the trucker. PKt. 5c« Oz. 10c.

Lucullus ncu) %m%% Cbard Or Spinach Beet. 



165. This delicious and useful vegetable should be in every garden and on every Market 

 Stall, it is realy two distinct vegetables, first the leafy part of the foliage is cooked and served 

 the same as Spinach ; while the stalks are cooked and served with drawn butter like tender 

 fresh Asparagus. It grows about 2^ feet high, the stalks are thick and broad like Rhubarb, 

 the leaves are much larger than those of the regular Swiss Chard, they are very heavily 

 crumpled like Savoy Spinach, exceptionally crisp and lender, and of a most pleasing flavor. 

 If you once try it you will never be without I^ucullus Swiss Chard. Oz, 10c.
