Bolgiano's Specialties of Superior Merit 



131. Bolgiano's Early Fortune Cucumber. 



Is truly a Bolgiano introduc- 

 tion that has been tried and 

 tested for more than ten years; each year it has proven to be the best early white 

 spine cucumber the market gardeners and truckers could grow. The dark green 

 color remains fresh looking for days after being harvested; flavor delicate and 

 refreshing, entirely free from any bitterness; flesh fine grained and compact, crisp 

 and brittle, an ideal slicing cucumber. As a shipper Early Fortune cannot be sur- 

 passed. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 14 lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50, postpaid. 



We have positively refused 

 to sell any self-blanching 

 celery except our special grown stock, which we know is superior in quality and 

 the rriost economical to grow. It is a vigorous dwarf grower, compact and self- 

 blanching to a very remarkable degree. Even the ribs become a handsome, fresh, 

 clear yellow color, with a heart that is large and solid and of a beautiful rich golden 

 yellow. Its crispness and tenderness and its rich nutty flavor makes it the leading 

 variety in the market. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 70 cts.; '/4 lb. $2.25; lb. $8.00, postpaid.
