F. W. BOLGIANO & CO., INC. 



RHUBARB 



Very familiarly known as the Pie Plant. The foot stalk is the portion that is 

 used and is the first vegetable of the season from the garden; cultivated to a great 

 extent and is indispensable wherever it is known. Sow the seed early in the spring 

 in rows 1 foot apart • on rich ground; the second year after planting they can be 

 removed in autumn to the permanent spot allotted to them; plant the roots 2 feet 

 apart each way in ground that is well enriched, at least 2 feet deep. Pkt., 10c; 

 ounce, 20c; % lb., 40c; lb., $1.50. Roots, 75c per dozen; $4.00 per 100. 



SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT 



CULTURE. A fine vegetable, used the same as carrots or, having been boiled, 

 made into cakes and fried like oysters, which they resemble in flavor. Cultivate the 

 same as carrots and parsnips. It is hardy, can remain in the ground all winter for 

 early spring use, but should be taken up before it starts growing ; take up a supply 

 for use during the winter. Succeeds best in a light, well-enriched, mellow, soil. Sow 

 early in the spring in drills 15 inches apart, 1 inch deep ; thin to 6 inches in the rows. 



SANDWICH ISLAND MAMMOTH WniTE SALSIFY. One of the most deli- 

 cious of winter vegetables, and also one of the most nutritious; the flavor is sweet 

 and highly esteemed. This variety, where known, is entirely superseding the old 

 type, as it produces roots nearly double the size and weight, and of equally good 

 quality. Pkts., 5 and 10c; % lb., 45c; V 2 lb., 75c; lb., $1.50.

 the first crop. The rind is hard texture, which it

EARLY PROLIFIC ORANGE MARROW. A comparatively hew 

 fall or winter variety. It is shaped somewhat like the Boston Mar- 

 row, but it is a decided improvement on it, being much earlier and 

 more productive. These characteristics will commend this variety to 

 market gardeners, while its brilliant orange-red color and fine keeping 

 and cooking qualities make it popular with the customer. The rind is 

 very hard, but thin, and the flesh deep, fine grained, and of delicate 

 quality. Pkt., 5c; ounce, 10c; % lb., 20c; % lb., 30c; lb., 60c 



FARR'S WHITE BUSH SQUASH 



This type of White Bush Squash has long been recognized as the 

 earliest squash on the market. Mr. Charles N. Farr and his family 

 have been perfecting this squash for years. We cannot recommend 

 it too highly. We feel that if you want earliness and beauty you can- 

 not go astray in buying this stock. The earliest squash that has 

 come to this market from local gardeners for the past fifteen years 

 has been from this stock. Fine in appearance, of light green color. 

 Pkt., 10c; % lb., 25c; 1 lb., $1.00.
