HOW TO ORDER RELIABLE 



SEEDS FROM 



j Bolgiano of Baltimore 



OUR MODERN NEW HOME LIGHT AND PRATT STREETS YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE 



OUR INTERESTS ARE NOT DIVIDED. 



Customers can also Shop by Express, as all express companies have 

 purchasing departments in all their offices. If you ■wish to order goods 

 from us to be sent by express, ask for a Purchasing Order Blank at any 

 express office, and it will be supplied and forwarded without charge, other 

 than usual rates for returning goods. 



MarKet Gardeners, Farmers' Clubs and Institutions wanting to pur- 

 chase Seeds in unusally large quantities should write for special prices. We 

 have made prices very low in this Catalogue, yet when a number of bushels 

 or pounds are wanted we can frequently supply at 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 lowest price for the lot. 



Always remember that we can save you money, no matter where 

 you live. Write us about any Seed you would like to 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. 

 Prices In This Catalogue Subject to Variations. 



Special Quotations For Large Quantities. 



SPECIAL FOR SHALL GARDENS.— $2.00 Worth of Bolgiano's Reliable 

 Garden Seed will produce from $100 to $200 worth of vegetables in any good 

 Kitchen Garden. When vegetables come fresh, each meal from your own 

 gardenthey are very delicious. 



GUARANTEE. — There are hundreds of contingencies continually arising 

 to prevent the best seeds giving satisfaction, such as sowing too deep, too 

 shallow, in too wet or 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 Seed induced by temperature, etc. For the above 

 reasons it is impractical to guarantee Seeds under all circumstances. We 

 give no warranty expressed or implied, as to description, purity, produc- 

 tiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, and 

 we will not be in any way responsible for the crops grown therefrom. If 

 the purchaser 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. 

 We test our Seeds before sending out. We cannot afford to send seeds 

 doubtful as to their vitality or purity. J. BOLGIANO & SON.

 by experienced men. We do not handle machinery, tools, hardware, dairy 

 and poultry supplies, dogs, chickens, birds, wagons, harness, e?c. There- 

 fore, 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 implement or agricultural supply house who only sell Seeds as a 

 side issue. Your orders, large or small, are given the same careful attention.
