 COR. LIGHT AND LOMBARD STS., BALTIMORE, 



MD. 



BALTIMORE IS THE LO .\ LIST 

 MARKET IIV THE LMTED 

 STATES and gets lower freight 

 rates than any other large city, be- 

 cause of being so centrally located. 

 Baltimore is nearer and has much 

 quicker connections all over the 

 South than any of the Northern cit- 

 ies. It is an established fact that 

 you can secure more and better seeds 

 for youi- money in Baltimore than in 

 any other city in the United States. 

 Hardly a day passes but that we re- 

 ceive from the largest truckers, mar- 

 ket gardeners, farmers, canners from 

 North, East, South and West, who 

 have found out for themselves or 

 learned from their friends and more 

 enterprising neighbors the great sav- 

 ing and advantage to be obtained 

 from buying their full Spring order of 

 Garden Seeds, Potatoes, Clover, Tim- 

 othy, etc., direct from Bolgiano of 

 Baltimore. In Most Every In- 



stance Yon Can Get Yonr GoodM 

 Qnicker, Cheaper and Better 

 From Us Tban From Ordering 

 Nearer Yonr Home. 



OUR INTERESTS ARE 

 NOT DIVIDED. 



SEEDS ALOXE occupy our timt 

 and attention. Tour orders are 

 handled by practical, experienced, 

 expert men. who have devoted their 

 lives to studj'ing and caring for 

 Seeds. Machinery, ti^ols, hardware, 

 dairy and poultry supplies, wagons, 

 harness, etc., we do not handle. 

 Therefore, having no other interests 

 at stake, we are much better able 

 to supply you at very low prices 

 with fresh, carefully grown, reliable 

 tested seeds than any farm imple- 

 ment or agricultural supply house, 

 who only sell Seeds as a side issue. 



ORDER EARLY. 



IT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO OR- 

 DER SOOX AFTER YOU GET 

 OUR CATALOGUE. Then you will 

 have your Seeds at hand and ready 

 for planting at the first opening of 

 Spring. Besides, if you buy Seeds 

 in Large quantities, you will have 

 plenty of time to ship by freight, 

 which is much cheaper. By prepay- 

 ing express charges on small orders, 

 they often can be sent as cheaply by 

 express as by freight, and get to yon 

 much quicker. 



THE PEOPLE KNOW US AND BELIEVE IN US. 



pUSINESS, ESTABLISHED IN ISIS, has grown from occupying one small room to the above large warehouse, and we are com- 

 •'-' pelled to secure large additional storage besides. We cannot stand still in this busy world. We have ambitions to realize. 



MARKET GARDENERS, FARMERS' CLUBS AND INSTITUTIONS 



WANTING TO PURCHASE SEEDS in Unusually large quantities should write for special prices. Although we have made prices 

 very low in this Catalogue, yet where a number of pounds or bushels are wanted, we can frequently supply at a lower price than 

 by the single pound or bushel. In writing, give us a list of quantities and varieties required, and we will return list promptly with 

 our lOTrest oost price for the lot. 



IT TAKES TIME to demonstrate anything. Tears ago, when we first began the Seed business, our low prices were looked 

 upon with suspicion and doubt, as no one could understand how we could sell at our Catalogue prices. The success of these metnods 

 Is evident today, as farmers and truck gardeners— North, East, South and West— point to Bolgiano of Baltimore as the old Reliable 

 Seed House, whose business of selling direct to the consumers at wholesale prices runs up into the thousands annually and extends 

 io distant points. 



THERE IS ONLY' ONE POLICY, AND THAT IS HONESTY. Honesty is the path we were shown when we first began our 

 business life, and we have walked in it ever since. Every employee in our establishment has been taught the same lesson, ana 

 they understand it is their dutv to treat our customers exactly as they would like to be treated were they in your place. These are 

 the means and rules that have built up our great business from sales of from $1,000 a year to the large sums we now annually sell. 



WB SELL ONLY'' HIGH-GRADE, RELI.A.BLE,FIRST-ftUALITY' SEEDS— such as we can affix our name to, and know that under 

 favorable conditions they will prove all that is claimed for them. All the Seed that we do not grow ourselves is either imported 

 direct by us, or secured direct from reliable growers. We know the quality of seeds we sell, and when a trucker or farmer secures 

 the same from us, it means something to him. . „ . -r^ 



TODAY YVE ARE SELLING SEEDS to residents of nearly every State in the Union, and to residents of Mexico, Cuba Europe. 

 China, Japan and Hawaii. If vou have not dealt with us. some of your neighbors have. Ask them about us? Turn over the leaves 

 ©f this Catalogue and read the testimonials from our farmer friends. They will tell you who we are and what our methods are.

TO BUY BY MAIL HAS BECOME A GREAT FEATURE OF THE "WORLD TODAY".— Buyers in far remote cities are enabled 

 to buy from our stock with as much success as if they were present in our store. It is our aim to use ESPECIAL CARE to give 

 a patron the best to be had for the money. The basis of success is CONFIDENCE, and this you must have in the house frorn which 

 you order. We have been in business 84 years In Baltimore, and refer you to the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Baltimore, 

 National Mechanics' Bank„or any newspaper or large merchant in our city. A merchant who has good goods is not afraid to tea 

 what thev are. or what he ffe. In the following pages we have set out clearly what we think will most interest our customers at jne 

 present s"eason. Prices are extremely low, and our stocks are strictly choice market-gardeners' stocks. Tou will find everything 

 as good as you expect and many things better. The only way to test the correctness of our prices and methods is to send us a 

 sample order, no matter how small. „ ,„ ., , ^ o -j 



ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WE CAN SAVE YOU MONEY'. NO MATTER TVHERE YOU LIY'E.- Write US about any Seed 

 you would like tr know of, and your letter will be answered the same day it is received. If you wish to know exactly what the 

 freight or express would be on any article to your Station, write us, and we will tell you. . . 



GUARANTEE.— There are hundreds of contingencies continually arising to prevent the best Seeds always giving satisfaction, 

 such as sowing too deep, too shallow, in too wet or too dry soil; insects of all descriptions destroying the plants as soon as or oerore 

 they appear; wet weather, cold weather, frosts, chemical changes in the Seeds induced by temperature, etc. For the above reasons u 

 IS impracticable to guarantee Seeds under all circumstances. While we exercise care to have all Seeds pure and reliaoie, we ao 

 not give any warranty, express or implied. If the purchaser does not accept the Seeds on these terms and conditions, tney snouia oe 

 returned at once, and the moriev that has been paid for the same will be refunded.
