Did Well Even in a Bad Season 



On June 2.5. 1916, Mr. P. K. Richardson, of Alachua Co.. Fla., wrote: "In regard to Bolgiano's 

 Early Prolific Orange Marrow Squash purchased of you, beg to state they germinated and came up better 

 than any Squash seed I have ever planted, though the circumstances under which they were planted 

 and iceather conditions were unfavorable, and I made a fairly good yield. They have done well and 

 if I plant Squash another season as usual I shull .'ieek .J. Bolgiano & Son's Seed Store."
