10. The Grandest 



EARLY FORTUNE CUCUMBER. 



The Earliest and Best White Spine Cucum- 

 ber ever offered. 



Full- blooded, as pretty as a picture, and ex- 

 tremely early, wonderfully productive, a model 

 in shape, of the most inviting and attractive deep- 

 green color. Is there any wonder we name this 

 money-maker "Early Fortune" Cucumber? From 

 very expensive and thorough tests of every Cu- 

 cumber grown, we selected the parents of this ex- 

 cellent stock. The result went far beyond our 

 greatest hope. We found we had a Cucum- 

 ber that was without a doubt the finest in the 

 world. Realizing a very heavy demand would 

 immediately come as soon as the Cucumber grow- 

 ers learned of our "Early Fortune" Cucumber, we 

 let one year go by in order to insure our supply 

 of seed, but even now the quantity of this seed is 

 very_ limited. If you wish to secure any of it this 

 coming year for hot-house, frames, or open 

 field culture, you had better order immediately, 

 or our short supply will be exhausted.

) J. Bolgiano & Son, Baltimore, Md. Florida, September 8, 1904. 



) Gentlemen: — I have grown your Early Fortune Cucumber seed and without hesitation, pronounce it the finest I have ever seen 



\ grown. Its fine shape and color surpasses all others. I have seen the Cucumbers, when thrown out in packing, stay perfectly green in » 



) color for 3 or 4 weeks, or until decay sets in. I will plant no other as long as Early Fortune can be had. J.H.Sadler, Fla. i
