BOLGIANO'S SPECIAL 



Grass and Clover Seed Mixtures 



FOR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURES. 



Our Grasses and Clover Seed Mixtures give the very best and most satisfactory results to our customers, and our trade in them is increasing 1 rapidly. 

 The advantage of sowing grasses and clover ieed in mixtures has ong been recognized and the practice is increasing to a very remarkable extent all through 

 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 exceed- 

 ingly satisfactory, resulting in largely increased crops both of hay and pasturage. We are always glad to give our customers the benefit of our knowledge 

 and experience in these matters, and will.take pleasure in advising them as to suitable grasses for their soils and purposes, if they will correspond with us 

 in regard to the same. 



We Have in the Following Mixtures combined grasses suitable for the various soils and uses for which they are recommended. Those for perma- 

 nent pastures are composed of grasses which succeed each other in growth, and give a succession from the first of spring until late in winter, while for 

 those desired more for cutting for hay, we have combined grasses which ripen together. 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, only the 

 •quality and purity of the seeds being our first consideration. The quantity handled enables us to give our customers the benefit of a very low price, evet? 

 lower than if they purchased the seed separately.

BOLGIANO'S high grade GRASS SEED 



GRASS AND CLOVER SEEDS.— Are high grade, new crop seeds, carefully 

 selected and tested, so as to be sure of supplying seeds only of first class 

 .germination and of the best qualities that it is possible to obtain. The satis- 

 faction which our seeds have given has caused our business in these seeds to 

 enormously increase. Handling grass and clover seeds in the large quantities 

 ■we do, enables us to supply them at the lowest prices for best quality seeds. 



Prices on Grass and Clover Seed Fluctuate. — The prices named here 

 are those ruling at the time this catalogue is printed. We will quote prices 

 at any time, or will fill all orders entrusted to us at ruling prices at the 

 same time order is received. 



The Best Time for Seeding Grass and Clover Seeds in the spring is 

 from the middle of February to the middle of April. A good firm seed-bed 

 is of prime importance, and, to secure this, the ground should be well and 

 deeply plowed previous to seeding, if possible. It should then be 

 harrowed and re-harrowed several times, so as to put it in first class con- 

 dition. After the ground is in good tilth the seed should be carefully sown, 

 either by hand or using a good Broadcast Seed Sower — and then cover by 

 rolling; or, if a roller is not available, by a light or brush-drawn harrow. 

 Rolling is, however, preferable, as it firms the soil and does not cover the 

 seed too deep. Care should be taken not to cover the seed more than about 

 an average of half an inch deep. Pure Animal Bone is the best fertilizer you 

 can apply for grass and clover, it is immediate and also lasting in its 

 effects. 



1123. TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS. Also Called Evergreen Grass.— 



Our sales on this grass has rapidly increased in the last few years. Yield- 

 ing twice as much hay as Timothy or Orchard Grass, early as Orchard 



Grass with more leaf and affording better grazing, it is not strange that this 

 grass is becoming so popular. It will keep ^reen all winter and all summer ; 

 the drought of midsummers or the cold f winters does not injure it. It 

 starts growing very early in the Spring, can be cut twice for hay, will yield 

 good grazing until late in the Fall. It contains more flesh and muscle- 

 forming material than timothy, but it is not so fattening. For hay, it should 

 be cut while in bloom. Tall Meadow Oat Grass is best adapted for rather 

 light and dry loamy uplands, but gives excellent results on nearly all soils 

 and better results than any other grass on light, medium or sandy soils. 

 Sown alone use 1 to 3 bus, to the acre, either Spring or Fall. Sown in 

 mixture, use 1 bus. Tall Meadow Oat Grass, 1 bus. Orchard Grass and 6 lbs. 

 Red Clover. It gives the very best results when sown with Clover. By 

 adding 4 lbs. of Red Top or Herd's Grass to the mixture the aftermath and 

 grazing will be materially increased. Price 18c lb. Choice Seed at $2.00 

 bus. of 14 lbs. "Gold" Brand Seed at $2.25 bus. 



1114. 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 moderately 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 bushels per 

 acre it sown alone, or with Red Clover, one and a half bushels of Orchard 

 Grass and seven pounds of Clover are the quantities usually sown. Price, 

 "Gold" Brand, 18c lb. Bus. of 14 lbs. $1.90. Choice Seed $1.75 

 per bus. 



J. Bolgiano & Son, Baltimore, Md. 



The Red Clover Seed I bought from you last Spring was the best I ever 

 saw; I believe every grain grew and made a stalk. It was marked "Gold" ; 

 true to name in all that the word implies. 



Yours very truly.
