Presidents, a vast number of Senators 

 and Congressmen and society leaders, 

 also Chief Justice Fuller and family 

 whom he remembers as one of the 

 great men of the times. 



In 1S99 his business in the seed line 

 became so large that he retired from 

 the florist part of it and gave his en- 

 tire time to the seed business, which 

 has steadily grown until at this time 

 it is large and prosperous. He is best 

 known to the trade for the part taken 

 by him in the fight on the first Mann's 

 Pure Seed Law. But for his prompt 

 action it is likely the bill would have 

 been reported for the third reading in 

 the House. 



Mr. Bolgiano has been a member of 

 the American Seed Trade Association 

 since 1894 and has been a hard worker, 

 always preferring the interests of the 

 Association beyond all others. His 

 local interests are large and varied, 

 being an executive director in three 

 banks. Numbering among other com- 

 panies in which he holds an active 

 directorship are an ice cream plant, a 

 cold storage and produce business, an 

 Insurance business, a large manufac- 

 turing business, and having also a 

 large interest in farming land and 

 farming in his own right. Another in- 

 terest which he holds very dear to his 

 heart is a Sunday school class of 

 about 150 men, who receive his per- 

 sonal instruction almost every Sunday 

 during the year. 



His busy day begins at 5 a. m. and 

 is only through when he retires at 

 night. He is a member of the Country 

 Club also the Commercial Club, of 

 Washington, where he delights to 

 entertain the members of the trade 

 when in the city. Being a member of 

 the Board of Trade and Chamber of 

 Commerce, he is in constant touch 

 with the activities of the city. Next 

 to the membership in the American 

 Seed Trade Association, he values his 

 membership in the "Rotary Club, in 

 which association he has been an 

 officer. 



In 1910 Mr. Bolgiano built a large 

 five-story office and sales building. He 

 has just broken ground for a large 

 warehouse fifty by one hundred and 

 fifty feet. He is married and has one 

 boy, Charles W. Bolgiano, whom he is 

 educating at Cornell with a view of 

 entering into the business. His boy 

 makes yearly trips to the growing 

 points of the West to become familiar 

 with the types and kinds of vegetables, 

 the seeds of which he expects to 

 handle when he enters the business. 

 In 1914 Mr. Bolgiano organized his 

 business into a corporation under the 

 name of F. W. Bolgiano and Co., Inc.

tiire that certain shipments of beans 

 from the Orient known as Burma or 

 Rangoon beans have entered this 

 country from Canada. They closely 

 resemble the ordinary navy bean in 

 appearance but can be distinguished 

 by their light yellowish color and the 

 fine distinct radiating lines passing 

 out from the hilum or eye. 



They are pole beans of the Lima 

 type and not suitable for planting in 

 this country, since they are of tropical 

 origin and will not mature in the bean 

 growing states. They are not fit for 

 human food, since they yield hydro- 

 cyanic acid in amounts which may be 

 dangerous to the health of the people 

 of the United States. 



The port and border laboratories of 

 the Bureau of Chemistry are under in- 

 structions to make examinations of all 

 shipments of such oeans offered for 

 entry, and to effect their detention. 



Governing the Importation of Potatoes 

 into the United States permits, free of 

 any restrictions whatsoever under the 

 plant quarantine act of August 20, 

 1912, the importation of potatoes from 

 the Dominion of Canada and Bermuda 

 into the United States or any of its 

 Territories or Districts, effective on 

 and after July 1, 1917.
