Bolgiano's Indian Chief Watermelon 



One of the most popular of the shipping melons. It lias a very tough elastic rind of dark green color 

 with indistinct thick netting all over. Flesh is a bright attractive red, flavor sweet and satisfying. For the 

 large grower this is undoubtedly an excellent melon. It is not quite as early as the General Pershing. Pkt.

Bolgiano's General Pershing Watermelon 



This melon is, without question, the finest ever produced, taken from every standpoint. Before offering 

 it to our friends through our catalog'ue of 1919 when we introduced it, we made exhaustive tests in our trial 

 grounds also placing it among some of the largest melon growers of the country. We also sought the views of 

 representative commission houses who had handled this melon and they all agree that " General Pershing " 



Watermelon far surpasses any other melon they have ever seen. 

 General Pershing Watermelon is distinct, wonderfully productive, 

 producing more marketable melons under the same conditions, than 

 any other variety. Has no culls and stands dry weather excellently. 

 The vines are very resista'nt to attacks of insects. In size it is uni- 

 formly large, ranging from 35 to 40 lbs. in weight, the rind is a 

 light pea green, and very tough, making it an excellent long- 

 distance shipper. It will not sunburn and will keep in good con- 

 dition in the sun several days after becoming ripe. Eating quality 

 " is unexcelled, its sparkling red flesh is firm, sweet and entirely free 



from hard centers and strin- 

 giness. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 20c.

 paid. 



Measured by return on 

 money expended, the cost of 

 seeds is your best invest- 

 ment. It pays to buy good 

 quality seeds. Bolgiano of 

 Baltimore has the highest 

 grade stocks obtainable, and 

 spares no expense in trying 

 to improve these stocks, all 

 the time. The proof of this, 

 is the fact that our cus- 

 tomers come back to us year 

 after year.
