Bolgiano's 

 ■Mighty -Nice" 

 Beans / 



Bolgiano's ''Truckers' Reward" Wax Beans 



1183. We have been developing this wonderful New Flat Wax Bean 

 lor a number of years and believe we now have practically a perfect Market 

 Gardeners' and Shippers' Flat Wax Bean. It is bound to take first premium 

 over all competitors wherever exhibited on account of the great beauty of 

 its pods and enormous productiveness of its healthy, vigorous bushes. 

 The type is so well fixed and so pure and true it is almost impossible to 

 locate a wrong plant in an acre of '"Truckers' Reward" White Wax Beans. 



The beautiful, long, straight, attractive, flat, golden pods range from .5 J^ 

 to 6 J^ inches in length; in quality they are particularly fine, remaining tender 

 and crisp a longer time than any other variety. 



As a money-making crop, and to sell either on the retail market stall 

 or on the wholesale markets of the great cities — they will invariably catch 

 the eye of the most critical buyers and on account of their superior attrac- 

 tiveness will sell themselves. 



Do not delay if you want to secure some of our "Truckers' Reward" 

 Wax Beans; our supply is limited, so please order early. Pkt. 1 Oc. } 2 Pi.

They Are Indeed A Wonder 



On July 30. 1917. Mr. John F. Gore, of Hillsborough Co.. Fla.. wrote: 

 "In reference to Bolgiano's 'Mighly-Nice' Bean seed, will say they are all 

 you claim for them. They sold on the market as ivell as any other Bean and 

 produced more than any Bean I ever planted. They are indeed a wonder. 

 Will send in my order later for early Spring planting." 

 Recommend Them To All Gardeners 



On August 8. 1917. Mrs. R. E. Ellison, of Fairfield Co.. S. C. wrote: 

 "The 'Mighty-Nice' Bean seed bought of you last Spring gave great satis- 

 faction and i take pleasure in recommending them to all gardeners. Not- 

 withstanding a very hot dry spell we had. they bore profusely. It is a nicely 

 flavored Bean and very tender." 



Bolgiano's New "Pearl Wax" Beans 



A Wonderful Long-Pod Wax Bean. Enormous Plant. 

 Enormous Pod. Enormous Yield. Never Affected by Rust or Blight 



10.31. If you had grown it in your field, as we did, when for almost 

 two solid months we had copious rains every day, and it showed no signs 

 of blight or rust, you would agree with us when we say that a bean that will 

 yield a fine crop of beautiful, long, fiat, clean waxy pods under such ad- 

 verse circumstances certainly cannot be praised too highly. It is a PEARL 

 of great value. Although a flat bean the seed looks somewhat like a 

 Valentine Bean; the plant grows 252 feet high by 2 feet across. It 19 a 

 remarkably sturdy, rank, vigorous grower, well loaded with pods. The 

 luxuriant foliage shelters the pod from the hot sun, and is free from blight 

 and rust. The pods are long, slim, flat, plump, handsome and meaty; 

 they somewhat re,semble those of the Davis and Wardwell's Wax Beans, 

 but are plumper, longer and straighter. They average from 7 to 8 inches 

 long, and are of a clean, light waxy yellow color. As to quality, the pods 

 are exceptionally tender, brittle and fine texture, free from fibre, and if 

 picked when ripe they are entirely stringless. Both for Shippers, Market 

 Gardeners and the Homo Garden, the exceptionally good qualities o£ 

 Bolgiano's New Pearl Wax Bean renders it of the greatest value. Pkt. 10c

Bolgiano's New "Home, Sweet Home" Bean 



1134. A most delicious bean for the home garden, very productive, 

 large, long, handsome flat pods, full of big. rich, tender, sweet beans. The 

 beans when dried make the finest kind of Winter dried beans and when 

 baked will fairly melt in your mouth. If you once try the Home, Sweet 

 Home Beans, you will always have it in your kitchen garden. Market 

 gardeners will also find this a very lucrative bean to sell to fancy market 

 or grocery store trade. Pkt. 10c. ' o Pt. 25n. Pt. 45c. Qt. S5c. 2 Qts.

Bean Crops Are Short — Order Early 



Bolgiano's Hardy "May Queen" Beans 



^^ 



Extremely Early — The Long "Rat Tail" Bean 



1001. Seven years having passed since we introduced this prolific 

 Early Bean, it has become an indispensable variety with many of our 

 customers. It is remarkably early, exceedingly prolific and its extra large, 

 finely shaped, straight, dark-green pods are always solid, tender and oi 

 a delicious flavor and borne iu great abundance. It is a most excellent 

 shipping beau, carrying in fine shape for many days after it is picked. 

 Some of our customers have also tried it as a late bean with astonishing 

 results; they were so well pleased with it as an early bean they wanted more 

 of them and, therefore, experimented successfully with them in the Fall. 

 The stock is perfect, the plants are of a strong, robust habit and mature 

 the crop very regularly. Pkt. 10c. .'jPt. 20c. Pt. 35c. Qt. 65c. 2 Qts.

Bolgiano's "Mighty-Nice" Bean 



1033. This wonderful, new, round, naeaty, green-podded bean had 

 for its parents two separate and distinct stocks of thoroughbred Hopkins' 

 Improved Earliest Red Valentine Beans, and in the breeding oi these two 

 storks we have produced an extremely Early and most prodigiously pro- 

 ductive stock of beautiful deep-green, round-podded Valentine Beans. 

 The flavor and quality cooked and tested side by side with 50 other leading 

 varieties proved the Bolgiano "Mighty-Nice" Bean to be by far the most 

 delicious and tender. 



We have been experimenting with "Mighty-Nice" Beau for years and 

 we can unreservedly recommend it as the greatest new production in the 

 way of Green-Podded Beans in the last ten years. Being an extremely 

 new stock, it is free from the faults that accumulate around stocks that 

 have been on the market for a few years. We have succeeded in getting 

 the type thoroughly fixed and we are willing to say that you will hardly 

 find one off vine in an acre of "Mighty-Nice." If you want the most 

 productive, the most beautiful, the most salable and the best market or 

 shipping crop of round, green-podded beans you have ever raised, plant 

 a patch of Bolgiano's "Mighty-Nice" Beans. Pkt. 15c. K> Pt. 35c. Pt.

"Giant Stringless" Green Pod Beans 



1008. This is a great improvement on the old-time popular favorite 

 Valentine Bean. The pods are fully one-third longer, averaging 5 to 6 

 inches in length; absolutely stringless, very crisp, round, full and fleshy. 

 It is enormously productive, its handsome pods being ready for market a 

 few days earlier than the old Valentine. We confidently recommend it 

 either for the home garden, canning or as a profitable variety to grow for 

 market. Pkt. 10c. J^ Pt. 25c. Pt. 40c. Qt. 75c. 2 Qts. $1.40. 4 Qts.

Bolgiano's "Emerald Beauty" Bean 



A Delicious, Stringless Yellow — Six Weeks 



1002. Emerald Beauty is a flat, green-podded Bush Bean, a prolific 

 and continuous bearer, the first in Spring and the last in Fall. It is abso- 

 lutely stringless, very tender and delicious flavor. The plant isof remark- 

 ably handsome and thrifty growth. The rich green pods are of immense 

 size, thick, broad, extra long, very uniform in shape, solid, meaty and of 

 high quality. Markets that will accept a flat-podded bean will soon 

 appreciate the surpassing quality of the Emerald Beauty; and even if your 

 market wants only a round-podded bean, plant some of the "Emerald 

 Beauty" beans for your own table use and enioyment. Pkt. 10c. i4 Pt-
