Honest Prices 



Twenty years have passed since Mr. Bolgiano started the seed business in Washing- 

 ton, In that time he has won the confidence and respect of the best Market Gardeners 

 and Farmers. The business, as very many know, was started from a small beginning, 

 with comparatively no capital, until now it is recognized the largest of its kind in 

 Washington, D. C. It has not been by chance or by any particular favors, but by the 

 motto of giving value in everything. While our trade originally only took in the vicinity 

 of Washington, it has spread until now we extend over a large part of this country. Mr. 

 Bolgiano extends to all the best facilities of his place, and trusts that his friends will 

 place their orders early to avoid the rush. 



Not by chance, not by luck, but by honest, untiring efforts. Our time and at- 

 tention is given to growing the choicest and most desirable Seeds. We carefully select 

 all the highest grade stocks, and eliminate those which our test prove would be un- 

 profitable for the trucker or gardener to grow. We never recommend any article unless 

 we feel certain, by actual test, it possesses merits superior to that which the trucker 

 already has. We watch for improvement in character, shape, form, color, attractiveness 

 and best selling qualities. The improvements we quickly note and encourage. Remember, as you read through this 

 Catalogue, what we say about each article has been gathered from our actual experience, together with the experi- 

 ence of the most up-to-date and successful practical market gardeners and truckers in every part of the world.

Complaints made that seeds are not good should quite often be attributed to other causes as to the quality of the 

 seeds. There are hundreds of contingencies arising to prevent the best seeds always giving satisfaction, such as sow- 

 ing too deep, too shallow, in too wet or too

dry soil; insects of all descriptions destroying 

 the plants as soon as or before they appear; 

 wet weather, cold weather, frosts, chemical 

 changes in the seeds induced by temperature, 

 etc. For the above reasons it is impracticable 

 to guarantee seeds under all circumstances. 



We give no warranty, express or implied, 

 as to description, quality, productiveness, or 

 any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, or 

 plants we send out, and we will not be in 

 any way responsible for the crop. If the pur- 

 chaser does not accept the goods on these 

 terms, they are at once to be returned and 

 the money that has been paid for same will 

 be refunded. — F. W. Bolgiano & Co.
