Bolgiano's Garden Guide for 1929 



VEGETABLE SEEDS 9 



Late or Winter Cabbage 



Bolgiano's Extra-Large Late Flat Dutch, ^^^^^l 



er's Choicest Stock.) Matures more quickly than the 

 older varieties into an extra-large, solid head, of perfect 

 keeping quality. 



DANISH BALLHEAD. This most excellent Cabbage is 

 very solid and outweighs any other of equal size. The 

 head is round with flattened top. 



HOLLANDER NO. 8. Sometimes known as Wisconsin 

 Hollander A very solid, hard-headed, ball-typte Cab- 

 bage with few or no side leaves, bred especially for re- 

 sistance to yellows and Cabbage diseases. A valuable 

 variety for districts affected by this trouble. 



LARGE LATE DRUMHEAD. Produces enormous heads. 

 Its good keeping quality makes it a first-class sort to 

 carry over winter. 



PE-TSAI (Chinese or Celery Cabbage). Produces a 

 tall head of almost white, very tender leaves. Plant in 

 July. Sow in drills 16 to 20 inches apart and thin the 

 seedlings two or three times. 



CHICORY 



AcHicoRiA ©l^tc^Drtcntcurjel Cbicoree 

 WITLOOF (French Endive). A delicious winter salad 

 plant which is popular and profitable. Seed should be 

 sown in the open ground in June, and later thinned to 

 stand 5 inches apart and allowed to grow until the fall. 

 The roots are then taken up, cut in about 7-inch lengths, and 

 buried in a trench of good soil in a cool shed or cellar. The 

 sprouts and young leaves are produced freely and are very 

 crisp and delicious.

Bolgiano's New Century Cauliflower 



Copenhagen Market Cabbage. See page 8 



CAULIFLOWER 



CoLiFLOR 39Iumentol^[ Cbou-fleur 



Culture. — Cauliflower requires the same soil and culture 

 as cabbage. Seed may be sown and handled in the same way. 

 It is best to have no Cauliflower maturing in the hot summer 

 months, as the cool weather of late spring and early fall is 

 best for growing perfect heads. 



Bolgiano's New Century. This variety succeeds when 



— — — ^ — others tan, producing large, 



perfect heads 12 to 14 inches in diameter, compact, deep 

 and solid, which outweigh those of any other strain. It 

 is the earliest of all. One-third more can be planted in 

 the same space than other varieties because of its close, 

 compact habit. 



DANISH GIANT (Dry Weather). Well adapted to 



localities having dry spells. Produces large, solid heads. 



One week earlier than Snowball. 

 EXTRA-EARLY DWARF ERFURT. Small plants with 



short outer leaves. Medium heads of uniform quality. 



A good late variety. 



SNOWBALL. Early, very hardy and produces snow- 

 white heads of good size. Our strain of this variety is 

 unexcelled. 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



Culture. — Sow in May, the same as cauliflower, and trans- 

 plant in July, 2 feet apart in rows 2i,'2 feet apart. Brussels 

 Sprouts is the very best winter vegetable that can be grown. 

 It is as hardy as the common curled greens. When cooked 

 thoroughly, the sprouts melt in the mouth, like the tenderest 

 cauhflower, and are equally good. 



BOLGIANO'S MATCHLESS LONG ISLAND IM- 

 PROVED. Resembles cabbage very closely except that 

 cabbage grows only one large head, but Brussels Sprouts 

 grows large numbers of small, delicious, tender heads at 

 each leaf-joint, the entire length of the stalk. These 

 small heads measure from 1}^ to 2 inches in diameter, 

 and are light green. This improved strain is an excep- 

 tionally heavy yielder. Plant grows 13^2 to 2 feet high. 

 Brussels Sprouts are usually marketed packed in quart 

 boxes and always bring a very high price. It is a profit- 

 able crop to grow.
