Bolgiano's Standard Vegetable Seeds. 



FOR EIGHTY-EIGHT YEARS WE HAVE WON CONFIDENCE— Not by chance, not by luck, but by 

 honest, untiring efforts. Our undivided time and attention is given to growing the choicest and most reli- 

 able Seeds. We carefully select all the highest grade stocks, and eliminate those which our test gardens 

 prove would be unprofitable for the trucker or gardener to grow. We never recommend any article unless we 

 are certain, by actual test, it possesses merits superior to anything the trucker already has, We watch for 

 improvemen t in character, shape, form, color; attractiveness and best selling qualities. These improvements 

 we quickly note and encourage. Remember as you read through this catalogue what we say about each ar- 

 ticle has been gathered from our actual experience together with the experience of the most up-to-date and 

 successful practical market gardeners and truckers in every part of the world.

No effort put forth in the garden will bring more pleas- 

 ure and satisfaction than an established Asparagus bed, 

 if this is thoroughly prepared according to the follow- 

 ing directions. A bed 20 feet by 50 feet, set with 1000 

 two-year old roots, will last for years and furnish an abundance. 



DIRECTIONS.— Select a good sandy loam, plow the ground as deep as possible, dig out 12 inches deep, 

 put in a layer of 4 inches of good, strong stable manure, and press down ; then fill in with good, rich, black 

 loam to the top of the bed. Sow on top of bed 100 pounds kainit to 1000 square feet of bed ; incorporate this 

 thoroughly to depth of 3 inches. After leveling bed off even, stretch a line the length of bed 9 inches from 

 the edge, and with a spade cut a furrow 8 inches deep, set a row of plants along the trench 9 inches apart, 

 with the crowns of the roots 2 inches below the surface ; then cover up, make even and plant other rows 9 

 inches apart. ■

To afford a regular succession of crops, plant every two weeks, from 

 the middle of Spring to the end of Summer, but not until the soil be- 

 comes warm, as they are very sensitive to both heat and cold. Plant 

 in rows 18 inches apart, 2 inches deep; cultivate frequently, but only 

 when dry, as the scattering of earth on the foliage or pods when moist, 

 will cause them to become damaged with rust. This crop will flourish 

 between the ridges of celery, rows of corn or cabbage, when they are 

 first planted, as the Beans would be ready for the table before the 

 other crops attain any size.
