"Plucky 

 Baltimore' 1 



IL 



After Fourteen Years' Trial 



On February 14, 1918, Mr. John A. Thompson, of Harrison Co., Ohio., 



wrote: "I have used your garden seeds, potatoes and field seeds for the past 



14 years, and have always found them good, and recommend them to everybody 



as first-class seed. I would not plant any other seed as long as I can gel yours." 



The Wonder of the Neighborhood 



On August 15, Richard E. Manders, of Talbot Co., Md., wrote: 

 "I am writing to tell you how pleased we are wilh the 'Plucky Baltimore' Seed 

 Potatoes which we purchased from you this Spring. They are certainly all 

 they are claimed to be, and are the largest and finest I have ever seen around this 

 vicinity. They are the wonder of the neighborhood. The two bags which we 

 purchased from you yielded about 75 bushels. It was from 5 to 9 in a hill." 

 Five Bushels From One Peck 



On August 1, Mr. David F. Furor, of Frederick Co., Md., wrote: 

 "From one peck of Irish Cobbler Seed Potatoes bought from you last January 

 I raised five bushels on ground that was used for a school ground for 20 years. 

 Good, don't you think so?" 



"Plucky Baltimore" the Best He Ever Planted 



On December 21st, Capt. F. P. Cooper, of Northumberland Co., Va., wrote: 

 '" 'Plucky Baltimore' Potatoes that I bought of you last March were the best I 

 ever planted, although we had it very dry here. They beat every other kind 

 here. I will want more 

 of them next Spring." 



Cray's "Mortgage 



Lifters" Extra Fine 



in Florida 



On July 3rd, Mr. 

 Victor Lent, of Lak • Co., 

 Fla., wrote: "Regarding 

 Bolgiano's Gray's 'Mort- 

 gage Lifter' Potatoes, beg / 

 to say they do extra fine 

 here in Florida • in fact, 

 they are a good deal belter 

 than the Bliss or Spald- 

 ing's No. 4 on the same 

 ground." 



Beat It If You Can 



Mr. Frederick W. 

 Reasin, Harford Co., 

 Md., wrote' "From a 

 plot of ground 90 x 100 

 feet planted in Gray's 

 'Mortgage Lifter' Pota- 

 toes, I harvested 131 

 bushels of the nicest look- 

 ing and finest cooking 

 Potatoes I ever saw, and 

 at the same lime, on the 

 tame piece of ground, I 

 grew two rows of Corn. 

 Beat that if you can." 



Bolgiano's 

 "Plucky Baltimore" Potatoes 



Bolgiano's Wonderful New Prolific Extremely 

 Early Seed Potatoes 



1. Ten days earlier than the Red Bliss Triumph. 



2. Snowy White Potato, about the size and shape 

 of the Houlton Early Rose. 



3. Yields from 250 to 350 bushels per acre of most 

 attractive, marketable Potatoes. 



4. Always brings 50 cents more per barrel than the 

 fanciest stock of any other variety on the market. 



5. The quality is delicious; the entire supply is 

 quickly taken up by the most critical hotel trade in New 

 York and Boston. 



6. Young, full, pure-blooded stock, not susceptible 

 to disease. 



7. Seed grown in the most careful manner. 



8. If you are a Potato grower and once saw the 

 Plucky Baltimore Potato, you could not help but buy 

 it. Its attractive shape, pure-white color, and in fact its 

 general appearance speaks for itself far better than we can 

 write about it. 



9. We have the entire supply of this Grand New 

 Potato, and that's not many barrels, so order right now, 

 or our supply will be exhausted. 



10. We can recommend the Plucky Baltimore 

 as the best Potato that has ever been sold the truckers. 

 Extremely attractive, extraordinarily early, enormously 

 productive, excellent quality, pure white and a Big Money- 

 Maker.

"Plucky Baltimore" Very Satisfactory 



On October 19, 1918, Henry L. Upshur, of Northampton 

 Co., Va., wrote: "We wish to say that the 'Plucky Baltimore' 

 Potatoes we bought of you were very satisfactory. From the 

 two sacks olanted I have 29 barrels of fine Potatoes. I am 

 very much pleased wilh them." 



Gray's "Mortgage Lifter" Potato 



Mr. Gray hasgrowrTsevera! bumper crops of Gray's "Mortgage 

 Lifter" Potatoes; he says they were so large they reminded him of 

 young pigs, and they were certainly splendid sellers at high prices. 



We wish everyone of our customers who grow Potatoes could talk with the 

 growers who have grown a crop of this Grand New Potato. It certainly 

 is something to marvel at, and yet if all of our customers realized its great 

 value our limited supply would not be a drop in the bucket. It is an early 

 variety, maturing a little later than the Crown Jewel; it is a pure white, 

 large, handsome size, distinctive in shape, being long, well filled and taper- 

 ing at both ends. Eyes are strong and well set, not too deeply, however. 

 It certainly is a beauty and one grower says they grow so large it don't 

 take many to fill a barrel; no culls, and by the carload they brought over 

 $20 a car more than the best Potato on the market. Mr Prevalt of 

 Volusia Go Fla., after giving this Grand Potato a thorough trial, orders 

 eight barrels in the place of one he planted last year. Mrs. Wm G Har- 

 vey, of Baltimore Co., Md., calls it the "Farmers' Favorite." Among 

 other names it was called are "Maryland Beauty," "Money-Maker " 

 ' Virginia Wonder" "The Excelsior," "Gold Standard," "Silver King;" 

 ? te - We finally selected Gray's "Mortgage Lifter," as suggested by Mr. 

 Jas. T. Gray, of Baltimore Co., Md., because Mr. Gray actually paid off a 

 good size mortgage on his farm with the proceeds from the Wonderful Crop 

 of this Grand New Potato. We hope that the mission of Gray's "Mort- 

 gage Lifter Potato will not be ended until it has helped to clear many 

 more farms of their mortgages.
