OUR HISTORY IN STORES FRCttfT81l8 TO 1905 



1818 TO 1901. 



1901, UNTIL DESTROYED BY FIRE, FEBRUARY 7, 1904. 



> Dear Friends: — We take this opportunity to publicly thank you for your loyalty to us during the past year. Never 



i in the long history of our old established firm were we better prepared with a full supply of r the Truest and Choicest 



I Seeds thanwe were on New Year's Day, 1904. The Great Baltimore Fire of February 7th, 1904, destroyed our large i 



i store and warehouse, corner Light and Lombard Streets; also our warehouse at 235 South Street. However, through the < 



quick and generous assistance rendered us by the Seed Growers, we were soon rilling all our orders. Our customers 

 proved the maxim, "A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed." They not only refused to take their orders away from us, 

 • but in a great number of instances, largely increased them. This loyalty gave us new heart and we soon began to see our < 



I misfortune was but a "Blessing in Disguise." ( 



Today with our handsome new home with every modern convenience and equipment, we are better prepared than 

 ever to supply you with a complete line of Reliable Seeds at Low Prices. . 



, Come to see us, bring or send your orders early, so we can fill them before the heavy rush of busy season. < 



Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year, and thanking you again for your past favors, we remain, 



' Yours truly, 



! J. BOLGIANO & SON, Baltimore, Md. [ 



| THREE THINGS WORTH KNOWING. j 



We don't make our prices from 100 to 500$ Higher than they should be and then get liberal . 



, and allow 25c worth of Seeds Extra on each dollar sent us, but we do three important things : c 

 First— We charge every cent each item is worth, and not one cent more. Compare our prices with any 

 other Seed Catalogue and when others say our prices are too low, remember our business stands on nothing else but the 



) fact we have made it pay farmers and truckers, like yourself, to use our Reliable Seeds at these low prices for 87 years. < 



I Second— We will, in order that you might know many varieties of our Reliable Seeds from your own tests, allow i 



» you to select two packets of Vegetable Seed Free for each dollar sent us (except New 1905 Varieties). ' 

 Third— Money runs short sometimes before the wife has a chance at the Flower Seeds, so if you do not take the two 



packages of Vegetable Seeds you may select in their place for each dollar sent us five packets of Flower Seeds Free. f
