Grass and Clover Seed Mixtures for Hay and Pastures 



These Mixtures prive the very best and most satisfactory results to customers, and our trade in them is increasing- rapidly. The advantage of sowing 

 g-rasses and clover seed in mixtures has long b^en recogruized and the practice is increasing to a very remarkable extent all through the South. We are the 

 pioneer seedsmen in Baltimore in putting up special mixtures for different soils, and the results to our customers have been exceedingly satisfactory, result- 

 ing in largely increased crops both of hay and pasturage. We will take pleasure in advi.sing our customers as to suitable grasses for their soils and purposes. 



We hvae in the Followine Mixtures combined grasses suitable for the various soils and uses for which they are recommended. Those for permanent 

 pastures are composed of grasses which succeed each other in growth, and give a succession from the first of spring until late in winter, while for those de- 

 sired moreforcuttingfor hay have combined grasses which ripen together. In all ourmixtures we are introducing small auantities of Alfalfa Clover 

 with the idea of inoculating the land with Alfalfa bacillus. Alfalfa revolutionizes farming but the bacillus must beestabliished before the revolution can occur. 

 The different mixtures are prepared both as to quantity and varieties as best ad.apted to the .soils and situations for which they are recommended. In all of 

 our grass mixtures we use the very best seeds; the quality and purity of the seeds being our first consideration. The quantity handled enables us to give our 

 customers the benefit of a very low price, even lower than if they purchased the seed separately.

Grass and 



The Plain Truth About Grades 



Clover Seeds 



The terms Fancy, Choice, Prime and Fair, by which different grades of 

 Grass and Clover Seeds are usually known, have become so much abused by 

 some dealers who apply these terms indiscriminatel.v to any quality of seed 

 that we many years ago established two grades of our own, called "Gold" 

 and "Silver." 



J. Bolgiano & Son "Gold" Grade we intend shall invariably represent the 

 best seed obtainable, both as respects purity and high germination. Anyone 

 who buys our Gold grades may return them at our expense, if, upon receipt 

 and examination , they are found in any respect unsatisfactory, and money 

 paid for same, will be promptly refunded. 



.Silver, the next best grade to Gold, but not of quite the same purity. It 

 frequently happens that the demand is greater than the supply of Gold 

 grades, as but a small proportion of the total seed gathered will make Gold; 

 we then recommend our Silver grade as being the best on the market. 



We wish to call attention to the fact that in cleaningseed .so as to make our 

 Gold and Silver grades, there is much seed removed which, while not of 

 sufficient high quality to grade Gold and Silver, is suitable for seed, and this 

 is sold under lower grades, such as Fancy, Choice, Prime, etc. We do not 

 quote these giades in our catalogue as the most of our sales are for Gold and 

 Silver grades. 



Our Prices 



Please Read Carefully 



Prices on Grass, clover and Millet seed fluctuate so greatly that it is im- 

 possible for anyone to accurately gauge future values. 



Write us for our special prices when you are ready to buy. For the benefit 

 of tho.se who wish to order early, we quote the prices that are in effect at the 

 time of going to press with this catalogue, on our Gold and Silver grades 

 only. These prices will be maintained as long as possible, but we reserve 

 the right to forward seed to the value of the money sent us, according as the 

 market is higher orlower. We wish to assure those who buy late in the 

 season and have not time to write us for prices, that they will receive fair 

 treatment at our hands, and unless otherwise advised we will reduce or add 

 to the quantity ordered sufficient seed to give value for the amount of money 

 remitted. We cannot emphasize the fact too strongly to those who do not 

 wish to buy now, that it is to their advantage to write for our Special Price 

 List, and samples of our Gold grade of any variety of seed they want. A 

 very large percentage of our customers now purchase our Gold grades of 

 grass, clover and millet seeds exclusively, and will not have any other. 

 They have found it to their interest to pay a little more for this grade and be 

 absolutely assured that they aregetting the very best seed that money can 

 buy anywhere at any price. 



Grasses 



1123. Tall Meadow Oat. Evergreen Grass, Yielding twice as much 

 hay as Timothy or Orchard Grass, early as Orchard Grass with moreleaf and 

 affording better grazing, it is not strange that this gra,ss is becoming so pop- 

 ular. It will keep green all winter and all summer; the drought of mid- 

 summers or the cold of winter does not injure it. It starts growing very 

 early in the Spring, can be cut twice for hay , will yield good grazing until 

 late in the Fall. It contains more flesh and muscle-forming material than 

 Timothy , but itis not so fattening. For hay, it should be cut while in 

 bloom. Tall Meadow Oat Grass is best adapted for rather light and dry 

 loamy uplands, but gives excellent results on nearly all soils and better re- 

 sults than any other grass on light, medium soils. Sown alone use 2 to 3 bus. 

 to the acre, either Spring or Fall. Sown in mixture, use 1 bus. (11 lbs.) Tall 

 Meadow Oat Grass 1 bus. (14 lbs.) Orchard Grass and 8 lbs. Red Clover. It 

 gives the very best results when sown with Clover. By adding 6 lbs. of Red 

 Top or Herd's Grass to the mixture the grazing will be materially increased 

 "Gold" Brand Fancy $2.00 bus. "Silver" Choice Si. 85 bus, 



1186. Sheep Fesque. A densely tufted perennial grass, roots deeply,and 

 forms dense short turf, furnishes excellent grazing. Sow 2 to_3 bushels per 

 acre, if sown by itself. Sow about 25 pounds per acre. "Gold" Brand 

 Lb. 25c. Bu. of 14 Lbs. $2.75. 



1114. Orchard Grass. Oneof the bestandmostreliablegrassesforthe Mid- 

 dle and Southern States, either for hay or pasture. It succeeds well on nearly 

 all soils, but does best on uplands, loamy or modeiately stiff soils, Itstarts 

 early in the spring and continues well into winter. Itis of quick growth, 

 and is relished by stock especially when young and bears close grazing. ^ It 

 makes excellent hay, and gives the very best results mixed and grown with 

 Tall Meadow Oat Grass and Red Clover. It should be cut when in blossom, 

 as the hay is injured if the seed is allowed to ripen. It can be sown in the 

 spring or fall, either with grain or alone. Sow two bus. per acre if sown 

 alone, or with Red Clover, one and one-half bus, of Orchard Grass and eight 

 pounds of Clover are the quantities usually sown. "Gold" Fancy Bus. of 

 14- lbs. $2.25. "Silver" Choice $2.15 per bus. 



1124. Red or Creeping Fesque. A creeping-rooted variety forming a 

 close and durable turf and particularly suited for dry, sandy soils. Resists 

 drought and thrives on very poor soils, gravelly banks and exposed 

 hillsides Valuable both for shady lawns and for golf courses. Sow 30 lbs. 

 to the acre if used alone. "Gold" Brand. Lb. 25c. 10 lbs. $2.00. 100 lbs. $18.00. 



1187. Hard Fescue. A valuable grass for dry lands and sandy soils, very 

 hardy, enduring extremes of heat and cold and long droughts. Sow 30 lbs. 

 to the acre. " Gold " Brand Lb. 25c. 10 lbs. $2.00. 100 lbs. $18.00.
