HONEST SEEDS AT 

 LOW PRICES 



'WASniNOTON.D.C 



IGHTEEN years have passed since Mr. Bolgiano started- 

 the seed business in Washington. In that time he has 

 won the confidence and respect of the best Market 

 Gardeners and Farmers. The business, as very many know, was started from a small beginning with 

 comparatively no capital, until now it is Pecognized the largest of its kind in Washington, D. C. It 

 has not been by chance or by any particular favors, but by the motto of giving value in everything. 

 While our trade originally onh^ took in the vicinity of Washington, it has spread until now we extend 

 over a large part of this country. Mr. Bolgiano extends to all the best facilities of his place, and trusts 

 that his friends will place their orders earh^ to avoid the rush. 



Not by chance, not by luck, but by honest, untiring efforts. Our undivided time and attention is 

 given to growing the choicest and most reliable Seeds. We carefully select all the highest grade stocks, 

 and eliminate those which our test gardens prove would be unprofitable for the trucker or gardener to 

 grow. We never recommend any article unless we are certain, by actual test, it possesses merits superior 

 to anything the trucker already has. We watch for improvement in character, shape, form, color, attrac- 

 tiveness and best selling qualities. These improvements we quickly note and encourage. Remember, 

 as you read through this Catalogue, what we say about each article has been gathered from our actual 

 experience, together with the experience of the most up-to-date and successful practical market gardeners 

 and truckers in every part of the world.

GUARANTEE. — Complaints made that seeds are not good should quite often be attributed to other causes as to the 

 qualit}- of the seeds. There are hundreds of contigencies arising to prevent the best seeds always giving satisfaction, such 

 as sowing too deep, too shallow, in too<s\-et or too dry soil ; insects of all descriptions destroying the plants as soon as or 

 before they appear; wet weather, cold weather, frosts, chemical changes in the seeds induced by temperature, etc. For 

 the above "reasons it is impracticable to guarantee seeds under all circumstances. 



We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, qualit}^ productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, 

 bulbs, or plants we send out, and we will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept 

 the goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned and the mone_v that has, been paid for same will be refunded.
