F. W. BOLGIANO & CO. 



Four to five pounds to an acre. 



WATERMELON. 



Wasser-Melone. 

 One ounce for thirty hills. 



Triumph Watermelon. 



Xriumpli Watermelon. 



Cultivate same as for Muskmelon. 



This new melon, as a market sort 

 and for shipment, is the best we have ever introduced. It 

 is very prolific, very early, and of uniformly large size. It 

 is a cross between the Duke Jones and Kolb Gem; has the 

 fine, handsome appearance of the former and the fine ship- 

 ping qualities of the latter. The rind, like the Duke Jones, 

 is of dark green color, the seed exactly the same color as 

 those of the Kolb Gem. The average size of the melon is 

 very large. Our stock of this seed is very limited. Packet, 

 10 cents; /2 pound, 20 cents; pound, 35 cents. 



Improved Fiorina Favorite. This excellent variety is a re- 

 markably heavy yielder and one of the finest table melons 

 ever grown. It is two weeks earlier than Kolb's Gem or 

 Gypsy; of medium size, covered with light and dark green 

 stripes, alternately; flesh deep red, delicious, sweet, very 

 firm and crisp. Its earliness and excellent quality are bound 

 to make it popular with those who plant for their own use 

 and prefer quality to enormous size. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 

 10 cents; X pound, 15 cents; H pound, 25 cents; pound, 

 40 cents.

Green Okra. 



Okra or Gumbo. . 

 Ten Pounds to the Acre. 



Culture. This vegetable is extensively grown for its green pods, which are nsed in soups, 

 stews, etc., to which they impart a rich flavor, and are considered nutritious. Sow the seed thickly 

 in rich ground about the middle of May, or when the ground has become warm, in drills 3 feet apart, 

 1 inch deep; thin to 10 inches apart in drills. 



Dwarf Green Prolific Okra or Gumbo. This vegetable is too little grown, as its green 

 pods impart a fine flavor and consistency to soups and stews, beside being very pala- 

 table when stewed and served as a dish of asparagus. The pods can be easily dried for 

 winter. It is universally used throughout the South and isaseasily raised as a weed in 

 the North. So delicious is the flavor that when once used it will be grown every year 

 in Northern as as in Southern gardens. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; % pound, 

 15 cents; Yz pound, 25 cents; pound, 40 cents. 



Improved Long Green, a very desirable sort for market gardeners; of medium height; 

 very productive; bears long pods, which remain tender a long time and are free from 

 hard ridges. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; % pound, 15 cents; pound, 40 cents.
