34 The J. Bolgiano Seed Co., Baltimore, Md. 
Grass and Clover Seed 
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 indiscriminately 
to any quality of seed, that we many 
years ago established two grades of our 
own, called “Gold” and “ Silver.” 
J. Bolgiano Seed Co.’s “ Gold” brand 
we intend shall invariably represent the 
best seed obtainable both as respects 
purity and high germination. Anyone 
who buys our Gold brands may return 
them at our expense if, upon receipt and 
examination, they are found in any re- 
spect unsatisfactory. and money paid for 
same will be promptly refunded.

These Mixtures 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 purposes. 
We have the following Mixtures, combined grasses suitable for the 
various soils and uses for which they are recomménded. Those for permanent 
pastures are composed of grasses which succeed each other in growth, and

but not quite the same purity. It fre- 
quently happens that the demand is 
greater than the supply of Gold brand, 
as but a small proportion of the total 
seed gathered will make Gold; we then 
recommend our Silver brand 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 brands, there is much 
seed removed which, while not of suffi- 
cient high quality to grade Gold and 
Silver, is suitable for seed, and this is 
sold under lower grades, such as Fancy, — 
Choice, Prime, ete. We do not quote 
these grades in our catalogue, as the 
most of our sales are for Gold and Silver.

Alfalfa-Clover with the idea of inoculating the land with Alfalfa bacillus. 4 
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.
