CULTURE. Sow In hills in the same manner and at the same 

 time as cucumbers and melons, the bush varieties 3 to 4 feet 

 apart, and the running kinds from 6 to 9 feet apart. 



There are two kinds of squashes — one for summer use for cook- 

 ing in the tender green state, and the other for storing for win- 

 ter use. 



Owing to the high cost of meat, one should arrange for a boun- 

 tiful supply of both the Summer and Winter varieties, as the 

 former may be fried and served like egg-plant and the latter are 

 very palatable when stewed and served alone or made into pies.

 tionally heavy cropper. The color is a beautiful green tinted 

 white possessed by no other variety. The flavor is delicious, 

 having few small seeds and is an excellent cooker. The

 stantly maintain and improve the quality. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz.

F. W. Bolgiano & Co. 

 Gentlemen: 



Your Bolgiano Tomato has proven to be all you claim the 

 past season. We live on the south shores of the Great Lakes 

 where the season is short for tomatoes. I plamted seed Feb. 

 11th in seed boxes. About the middle of May I set them in 

 the open. I picked first fruit July 21st and had all the toma- 

 toes we wanted off 12 plants until freezing weather.
