1 6 VEGETABLE SEEDS 



The J. Bolgiano Seed Co., Baltimore, Md. 



MUSKMELONS 



Hale's Best 

 Cantaloupe 



HALE'S BEST. An extremely early, prolific sort; a good 

 shipper and about 10 per cent larger than the Rocky Ford 

 types. _ Flesh salmon, exceptionally thick. Heavily netted 

 and fairly prominent ribs. 



HEARTS OF GOLD. One of the finest pink-fleshed types 

 and an excellent shipper that retains its flavor, 



HONEY DEW, GREEN-FLESHED. The thin, smooth 

 rind is very tough and creamj^ yellow when ripe. Will keep 

 until Christmas. Flesh emerald-green; can be eaten to the 

 extreme rind. A good shipper. 



HONEY DEW, SALMON-FLESHED. Identical with 

 Honey Dew except the flesh is beautiful salmon. 



Improved Junior Rocky Ford. Through painstaking 



reselection we have 



further perfected this type. It has a deep stripe, thickly 

 and roughly netted, is of uniform size and has deep, rich 

 flesh of attractive salmon-pink. The vines are very resistant 

 to blight. 



(CANTALOUPE) 



Melon deCastilla SiSam^aRerone Cantaloup 



Culture. — A sandy loam enriched with well- 

 rotted manure is ideal. Plant in May, when the 

 ground is warm, in hills 5 feet apart each way, twelve 

 to fifteen seeds to the hill, and cover J^inch deep. 

 To prevent damage by insects, spray with Pyrox. 

 Thin out a few plants after they show good growth, 

 and when danger of insects is over remove all but two 

 plants to the hill. For an early crop, sow seed in 

 berry-boxes, placed in hotbeds and transplant out- 

 doors; do not disturb the roots. 



One ounce of seed will sow 60 hills; 2 pounds, an acre 



BANANA. Of exquisite flavor — like a banana. 

 Not a mere curiosity, but is in such favor as to 

 command prices of from 50 cts. to $1 for a single 

 specimen. 



BOTTOMLEY. Fruits of uniform size, oval, 

 slightly pointed, beautifully netted and most 

 attractive. Thick greenish flesh and shading to 

 frostjr salmon, very crisp and fine-flavored. 

 BURRELL'S GEM. Of good size, handsome 

 appearance, and fine flavor. The skin is a rich, 

 dark green, contrasting finely with the deep 

 orange-salmon flesh. 

 EDEN GEM (Netted Rocky Ford). A magnifi- 

 cent selection from the old Rocky Ford, which 

 it completely surpasses in lusciousness. A heavy 



yielder and a good shipper. 



PEARL PINK MEAT. A new variety of fine quality. Oval, 



with skin the color of pearl, and a very fine flavor. 

 POLLOCK 10-25. Tender, sweet-flavored, salmon flesh, with- 

 out strings or toughness. Excellent shipper. Good seller. 

 ROCKY FORD. (Thoroughbred Stock.) Meat light green, 

 slightly golden yellow near the center; very spicy and sweet. 

 An abundant yielder, having produced 300 standard crates 

 from one acre. An excellent shipper. 

 WATTERS' IMPROVED SOLID NET ROCKY FORD. 

 The earliest strain of Rocky Ford. Meat light green, spicy, 

 and sweet. The heavy gray netting is closely laced. 



PoiREAU LEEK 2au6) Puerro 



Culture. — Sow early in April, in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch 

 deep. When plants are 6 to 8 inches high, transplant in a deep, 

 rich soil in rows 2 feet apart and 6 inches apart in the rows, as 

 deep as possible, so that the neck may be covered and blanched. 

 Draw the earth to them as they grow. 



BOLGIANO'S FAMOUS MAMMOTH KING. Pure white; 



attractive leaves; stout habit and hardy. The edible part 

 is 8 to 15 inches long, and 3 to 5 inches in diameter.
