Grass and Clover Seed Mixtures for Hay and Pastures 



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 deaJers 

 who apply these terms indiscriminately 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 unsatisfac- 

 tory, and money paiid for same will be 

 promptly refunded. 



The Plain Truth About Grades 



Parcel Post Bates, see Page 2 



SUver, the next best grade to Gold, but 

 not 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 wUl 

 make Gold; we then recommend our 

 Silver grade as being the best in the 

 market. 



We wish to call attention to the fact 

 that in cleaning seed 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 suit- 

 able for seed, and this is sold under lower 

 grades, such as Fancy, Choice, Prime, etc. 

 We do not quote these grades in our cata- 

 logue, as the most of our sales are for Gold 

 and Silver grades. 



Our Prices 



Pleass Read Carefully 



Prices on Grass. Clover and Millet seed fluctuate so neatly that it is impossible for anyone to accurately gauge future values. 



Write us for our special prices when you are ready to buy. For the benefit of those who wish to order early, we quote the prices that are in effect at the 

 time of goin;; to press with this ratalosue 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 or lower. We wish to assure those who buy late in the season and have 

 not time to write us for prices, thai they will receive fair treatment at our hands, and uidess otherwise advise<l, we will reduce or add to the quantity ordered 

 suflitMent 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 are getting the very best seed that money can buy anywhere at any price. 



These IMixtures give the very best and most satisfactory results to 

 customers, and our trade in them is increasing rapidly. The advantage of 

 sowing grasses and clover seed in mixtures has long been recognized and the 

 practice is increasing to a very remarkable extent throughout the South. We 

 are the pioneer seedsmen in putting up special mixtures for different soils, 

 and the results to our customers have been exceedingly satisfactory, resulting 

 in largely increased crops both of hay and pasturage. We will take pleasure 

 in advising our customers as to suitable grasses for their soils and (>urposes. 



We have the following 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 more for cutting for hay have combined grasses which ripen together. 

 In all our Mixtures we are introducing small quantities of Alfalfa. 

 Clover with the idea of inoculating the land with Alfalfa bacillus. Alfalfa 

 revolutionizes farming, but the bacillus must be established before the revolu- 

 tion can occur. The different mixtures are prepared both as to quantity and 

 varieties as best adapted to the soils and situations for which they are recom- 

 mended. In all of our grass mixtures we use the very best seeds, the quality 

 and purity of our 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.
