BOLGIANO'S WHITE LOAF LETTUCE.— Gilt edge stock for careful growers. The best of all. Has large, 

 solid heads, suitable for frames or outdoor, The most experienced truckers pronounce our White Loaf Lettuce 

 the best they ever grew. Lettuce in frames and outdoor is a most important item with our large truckers. To 

 suit their purpose a Lettuce must form a reliable head, be crisp and with pleasant flavor. These qualities they 

 find in our White Loaf, which is used in large quantities for fall and spring sowing and makes a paying crop.

BOLOIANO'S WHITE SEED SUMMER LETTUCE.— For a number of years there has been a demand for a

One ounce will plant about 50 hills. 

 2 or 3 pounds in hill per acre. 



CULTURE, Melons thrive best in a rich, light soil. Plant early 1q Rfay, when the ground has become warm and dry, in hills six feet 

 apart each way for muskmelon, eight feet for watermelon. Previous to sowing the seed, mix a few shovelfuls of well-rotted manure in each 

 hill, aud plant in each twelve to fifteen seed; after all danger of the bugs is over, thin out to three plants per hill. When about one 

 foot long, pinch off the tips to make them branch, as it strengthens the growth of the vines and makes the fruit mature earlier. Give 

 plenty of water and feed liquid manure occasionally. A few hills for early use may be had by sowing on pieces of sod in a hotbed, and
