California Wonder Pepper 



70. Princess Juliana Spinach. 



i Holland is the home of Spinach and this, 

 the finest variety of spinach yet introduced, 

 fas named in honor of Princess Juliana, 

 the daughter of Holland's famous queen. 

 The Princess Juliana is of the long season 

 type with large, crumpled, rich, dark green 

 leaves. It is valuable for either Spring or 

 Autumn planting. It is absolutely without 

 male plants which is the cause of its stand- 

 ing so long without shooting to seed. We 

 believe that Princess Juliana Spinach will 

 become the most popular variety on the 

 jmarket, not only for its rapid, uniform 

 growth, and delicious and tempting flavor, 

 Ibut also because it remains in prime con- 

 dition longer before bolting to seed than 

 any other sort. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 

 J i lb., 20 cts.; lb., 45 cts., postpaid; 10 lbs., 

 30 cts. lb.: 100 lbs., 25 cts. lb., not postpaid. 



328. California Wonder Pepper 



A new pepper of real merit. It's nearly as large and earlier than Chinese 

 Giant, but is blockv or square ended. It is especially free from roughness. 

 It's pretty as a picture. Just the ideal shape. It will sit upright and is per- 

 fect to stuff and bake or to serve whole with salad. Its walls are exception- 

 ally thick, heavier and firmer than any other sort. The flesh is dehciously 

 sweet and spicy with no bite to it. The bright attractive green when young 

 changes to a brilliant light crimson as they mature. Full grown peppers 

 commonly have a breadth of 4 inches and a length of 4'/ 2 inches, weighing 

 as much as a full pound. The plants are slightly spreading, sturdy and pro- 

 ductive, bearing from 5 to 9 large fruits to a setting. For the home gardener, 

 market gardener and shipper, this is the ideal pepper. Give it a trial. Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 60 cts.; % lb. $2.00; lb., $7.50.

117. Bolgiano's New Early Cab- 

 bage. Has gained its present pre-eminence 

 among vegetables through merit alone. We 

 would not wish you to think it the earliest cab- 

 bage offered, for in season it follows the Wake- 

 fields. It is in production and quality, how- 

 ever, that we find it excelling other market 

 varieties. The immense hearts develop with 

 remarkable rapidity and are noticeable for the 

 very small growth of outer spreading leaves, 

 making it possible to grow more New Earlies 

 to the acre than other more spreading sort-;.

Pal ' 79. Bolgiano's No. 2 Scarlet 



rti.T,. "Do/1ic.Vi Is the very best in every 

 VTlOOe JVdUl&Il. way . It is handsome in form 



and color, beautiful oval and rich scarlet. The 

 amount of its foliage is small, compared with other 

 varieties, and small for the size of the radish. The 

 peculiar merit of this variety as a forcing radish is 

 that it will bear the heat requisite for forcing with- 

 out becoming pithy or spongy. The flesh is tender, 

 juicv and mild. It is equally as good for open garden 

 as for forcing, and therefore it commends itselt 

 equally to the amateur and market gardener. Pkt..

222. Early Rubicon. ^"J™ 



rooted carrot, of a beautiful, deep-red orange color.

 more productive. It is a wonderfully heavy cropper, 

 producing 3 to 4 tons to the acre under good culture.
