Bolgiano's Garden Guide for 1929 



VEGETABLE SEEDS i;^ 



Bolgiano's Early Fortune Cucumber 



CUCUMBER 



CoNcoMBRE (Surfen Cohombro 



Culture. — For very early crop, sow upon pieces of sod iii hotbeds, or in small pots and the seedlings can be set out before they 

 can be sown in the open. Plant out in rich soil when danger of frost is over, or protect by hand-glasses, or by paper held down at the 

 corners with earth. For general crops, sow in the open as soon as the weather is settled and warm, and every two weeks for a suc- 

 cession. For pickles, sow from middle of June to early July. Sod land, turned over in the fall, is the best for them. Plant in hills 

 4 feet apart, putting a shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. 



One ounce of seed will sow 50 hills; 2 pounds 1 acre 



ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE. For many years the stan- 

 dard slicing and market variety. Very prolific; dark green. 



Bolgiano's Crystal Springs. The attractive rich, glossy, 



t — deep green truits retain 



their color to the very tips, are mildew-proof, and never turn 

 yellow. They are of perfect shape, color and size, with firm, 

 fine-grained flesh of superb quahty, entirely free from bitter- 

 ness, and having very few seeds. Fine for slicing. An extra- 

 early, heavy, continuous bearer. Ideal for shipping, market 

 or home use. 



BOLGIANO'S EARLY FORTUNE. Fruits of model shape 

 and the most inviting deep green. Extremely early; won- 

 derfully productive. 



BOSTON PICKLING, Short, smooth, light green fruits, 



pointed at each end. A great yielder. For pickling. 

 CHICAGO or WESTERFIELD PICKLING. Fine for 



market gardeners. Fruit deep green, medium length, 



pointed at each end, with large spines. Very prolific. A 



fine pickling variety.

Culture. — Sow in hotbeds very early in spring and thin to 4 inches apart or transplant when 2 

 inches high into a second bed or small pots. Do not plant out until weather is perfectly 

 settled and warm. Keep some back in frames for a second planting, in case of weather 

 changing unfavorably. Set out plants 3 by 3 feet. 



One ounce of seed will produce 500 plants 



Bolgiano's Black Beauty. J.^^ earliest and best of all large-fruited 



— Eggplants. 



FLORIDA HIGH-BUSH. Holds its fine purple fruits well off the ground 

 and resists drought and wet weather. Very productive. 



NEW YORK IMPROVED SPINELESS. A vigorous grower, producing 

 until frost an abundance of large, fine, rich purple, spineless fruits, with 

 white flesh of delicious flavor. We can highly recommend this variety. 



DAVIS PERFECT. Noted for producing the only Cucumbers 



of quality which compete with hothouse-grown stock. Very 



slender, almost seedless, cylindrical and tapered at the ends. 



It resembles the expensive English forcing varieties and is 



superseding them in the markets. 

 EARLY FRAME or EARLY SHORT GREEN. Desirable 



for pickles of medium size and fine quality. 

 IMPROVED JERSEY PICKLING. Medium length, very 



shapely, and holds its color. Prolific. 

 IMPROVED LONG GREEN. It is used for an early long 



slicing sort and gets on the market a week ahead of most 



good slicers, bringing the early money. 

 KLONDIKE. Very dark green variety, 6 to 7 inches long and 



2 inches thick; remains crisp a long time. A fine market sort. 

 SNOW'S FANCY PICKLING. This type is shorter when 



ripe than the Chicago Pickling and is broad at the stem 



end, tapering slightly to the tip. 

 WEST INDIAN GHERKIN. The only genuine Gherkin. 



Small, oval, light green and covered with spines.
