F. W. BOLGIANO & CO. WASHINGTON, D. C. 



Dear Folks : 



To be able to greet you 

 again this year is a pleasure that 

 I had not expected. It is true that 

 I did not exactly greet you in my 

 spring catalog. I was introduced 

 to you by my son, who must have 

 forgotten that I know so many of 

 you personally. Perhaps, though, 

 it was not such a bad idea for 

 there are also many more that I 

 have not met. 



So I am coming to you now with this little book 

 of things pretty and useful. You who are in the coun- 

 try, brighten things early next spring by the bulbs you 

 plant this fall, and you who are in the city, free your- 

 selves from the sameness of hard pavement and brick 

 walls by the flowers in your yard. Make your gardens 

 serve you in the fall as well as in the spring and sum- 

 mer. 



Then if there are any questions you wish to ask 

 just drop me a line. Mark it "Attention MISTER B," 

 (that's what everybody calls me). Then I can write 

 you a personal letter in answer. 



Your friend, 



FRANK W. BOLGIANO, 



or Mister "B."
