117. Bolgiano's New Early Cabbage. Has gained its 



present p r e- 

 eminence among vegetables through merit alone. We would 

 not wish you to think it the earliest cabbage offered, for in 

 season it follows the Wakefields. It is in production and 

 quality, however, that we find it excelling other market 

 varieties. The immense hearts develop with remarkable 

 rapidity and are noticeable for the very small growth of 

 outer spreading leaves, making it possible to grow more New 

 Earlies to the acre than other more spreading sorts. Pkt.

 beet in the spring we suggest Bolgiano's Deep Blood Beauty 

 Beet, with its smooth globular roots of blood red color, fine 

 texture, tender, crisp and altogether delightful in both ap- 

 pearance and flavor. Crops grown of this beet are well 

 known for their heavy 

 yield of uniform mar- 

 ketable roots. Pkt. 5 

 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.;

Yet Wax Beans. 



Absolutely stringless. 

 An instant success with

 newest members of the 

 bean tribe, Bolgiano's 

 Best Yet has already

 yellow flat pods grow 

 in large numbers on the 

 erect and bushy plant. 

 No garden will be com- 

 plete without them.

Bolgiano's Prosperity Cucumber. Worthy of the 



FIRST PLACE 



AMONG trucking vegetables. The beautiful black green 

 color extends completely over this excellent cuke, robbing 

 even the under side of the usual paleness that exists there.

 and will therefore fill the basket quicker. Since our sup- 

 ply is limited you should get in your order early. Pkt. 5 

 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; '/^ lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50. Postpaid. 



197. Bottomley Cantaloupe. Although not a new va- 



riety this is one that 

 has only lately gained popularity. In certain isolated sec- 

 tions the sterling qualities of this melon have been recog- 

 nized for years. It is perhaps more closely related to Sweet 

 Air than any other melon and was developed in the same 

 section from which Sweet Air came. It is slightly smaller 

 than this well known melon. In shape it is oblong, ribbed 

 and heavily netted. The flesh is green, very solid and thick, 

 having a delicious flavor that is equaled by only few melons 

 that ever come to the table. When sold on the Washington 

 Market last spring, it never failed to bring the highest prices 

 offered. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; Y4 lb. 60 cts.; lb. 

 $2.00. Postpaid.
