Specialties 



C54. Bolgiano's New Wonder Lettuce. Has solid 



■ — — round 



heads and will bear transportation better than almost any 

 other variety. For early spring planting in open 

 ground or under glass it is unequalled. Plants 

 grow 6 to 7 inches in diameter ; the outer leaves 

 so closely folded the plant is practically all 

 head. It is hardy as well as very early, 

 and a quick grower. Leaves are a light 

 green, and slightly crumped, like Savoy 

 Spinach ; inner leaves a bright yellow. 

 In flavor it is particularly rich, buttery 

 and tender. Bolgiano's Wonder has cer- 

 tainly been highly appreciated wherever 

 grown or tried, and is sure to become 

 popular, both in home and market gar- 

 dens. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; % lb. 

 60 cts.; lb. $2.00 by mail postpaid. 



198. Bolgiano's Golden Heart 



Lettuce. There has always been a de- 

 mand for a Big Boston Let- 

 tuce without the brown tinge. This Lettuce is black seeded Big Boston with less brown tinge. It will 

 stand longer without going to seed and has a fine large heart, light color, and is crisp and tender. Pkt. 

 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; %. lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50 by mail postpaid. 



Produces smooth, handsome shaped roots with fine grained tender 

 flesh of delicious quality. When pulled from the soil there are abso- 

 lutely no fibrous or side roots. For hot beds, cold frame and transplanting, it is truly WONDERFUL. 

 Very popular now in the large city markets on account of its fine shape and attractive dark red color.

 early and invariably produces smooth, handsome roots. The flesh 

 is a rich dark blood red, tender, crisp and deliciously sweet. The tops are small and the beets bunch 

 nicely. Recommended both for forcing and main crop. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; % lb. 30 cts.; 

 lb. $1.00. 



Thousands of private and market gardeners have 

 pronounced this to be one of the earliest and 

 darkest green cucumbers in cultivation. It is unquestionably one of the best varieties, combining both 

 table and shipping qualities, and the fruits at all stages of growth are invariably of perfect form. Pkt. 

 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; % lb. 30 cts.; lb. $1.00. 



Earliest Springtime. ^his ^ >ea ' s sure t0 ^ e a l ea de r - The pods are from 4 to A l / 2 inches long. The 



. — £1 — - kernels are round like the Alaska, but much larger, and the pods are equal in 



color and size to the Gradus ; it can be planted earlier than the Gradus because of its character of seed. 

 We feel sure that this pea will produce more and give better satisfaction than any other early sort to the 

 market gardener. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 30 cts.; qt. 50 cts.; gallon, $1.85; peck, $3.50; bushel, $12.00.

 ing 15 to 18 inches high, foliage dark green; pods about 4 inches in length. Seed light green, large, 

 wrinkled, flattened, irregular in shape. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts.; peck, $3.75; bushel, $13.50. 



181. Irish Grey Watermelon. 



We introduced this NEW MELON 

 to our trade two years ago for the 

 first time. In this short time it has 

 made more friends because of its 

 good qualities than any melon we 

 ever sold. A handsome (and we 

 mean handsome) oblong melon of 

 good size, just .right for the family. 

 Everyone partaking of its bright 

 red, thick, sweet, solid meat flesl 

 will want more. It is hardy and 

 healthy, and surest to make a crop 

 of any we have tried this year. For 

 shipping it is the most promising 

 melon that has ever been introduced. 

 We cannot recommend this melon 

 too highly to you. Pkt. 5 and 10 

 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; y 4 \b. 30 cts.; lb. $1.00.
