  These 
  Mixtures 
  give 
  the 
  very 
  best 
  and 
  most 
  satisfactory 
  results 
  to 
  customers, 
  and 
  our 
  trade 
  in 
  them 
  is 
  increasing- 
  rapidly. 
  The 
  ad- 
  

   vantage 
  of 
  sowing 
  grasses 
  and 
  clover 
  seed 
  in 
  mixtures 
  has 
  long 
  been 
  recognized 
  and 
  tlie 
  practice 
  is 
  increasing 
  to 
  a 
  very 
  remarkable 
  

   extent 
  throughout 
  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, 
  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 
  purposes. 
  

  

  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 
  un- 
  

   til 
  late 
  in 
  winter, 
  while 
  for 
  those 
  desired 
  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 
  revolution 
  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 
  recommended. 
  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.

  The 
  Plain 
  Truth 
  About 
  Grades 
  

  

  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 
  indiscrim- 
  

   inately 
  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 
  rep- 
  

   resent 
  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 
  quite 
  the 
  same 
  

   purity. 
  It 
  frequently 
  happens 
  that 
  the 
  demand 
  is 
  greater 
  than 
  the 
  

   supply 
  of 
  Gold 
  grades; 
  we 
  then 
  recommend 
  our 
  Silver 
  grade 
  as 
  being 
  

   the 
  best 
  in 
  the 
  market. 
  We 
  also 
  sell 
  lower 
  grades, 
  such 
  as 
  Fancy, 
  

   Choice, 
  Prime, 
  etc. 
  We 
  do 
  not 
  quote 
  these 
  grades 
  in 
  our 
  catalogue 
  

   as 
  the 
  most 
  of 
  our 
  sales 
  are 
  for 
  Gold 
  and 
  Silver 
  grades.

  Evergreen 
  Grass. 
  It 
  will 
  keep 
  green 
  all 
  

   winter 
  and 
  all 
  summer; 
  the 
  drought 
  of 
  mid-summer 
  or 
  the 
  cold 
  

   of 
  winter 
  does 
  not 
  injure 
  it. 
  It 
  starts 
  growing 
  very 
  early 
  in 
  the 
  

   Spring, 
  can 
  be 
  cut 
  twice 
  for 
  hay, 
  would 
  yield 
  good 
  grazing 
  until 
  late 
  

   In 
  the 
  Fall. 
  For 
  hay, 
  it 
  should 
  be 
  cut 
  while 
  in 
  bloom. 
  Tall

  Grass 
  is 
  best 
  adapted

  Orchard 
  Grass. 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  and 
  most 
  reliable 
  grasses 
  

   for 
  the 
  Middle 
  and 
  Southern 
  States, 
  either 
  for 
  hay 
  or 
  pasture. 
  It 
  

   succeeds 
  well 
  on 
  nearly 
  all 
  soils, 
  but 
  does 
  best 
  on 
  uplands, 
  loamy 
  

   or 
  moderate 
  stiff 
  soils. 
  It 
  starts 
  early 
  in 
  the 
  spring 
  and 
  continues 
  

   well 
  into 
  winter. 
  It 
  is 
  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

  if 
  sown 
  alone, 
  or 
  with 
  Red 
  Clover,
