F. W. BOLGIANO & CO.. INC., Washington. D. C. 



Bolgiano's Thoroughbred Baby Chicks 



Bred For Constitutional Vigor and Heavy Egg Production 

 Strong, Healthy, Lively, Chicks 



From Maryland State Certified Two- Year-Old Breeders 



The elimination of doubt 

 in ilicubating eggs has 

 been such a boon to poul- 

 try raisers that the baby 

 chick business, at first a 

 subject of ridicule, has be- 

 come one of the largest 

 departments of the poul- 

 try business. 



Our trade in baby chicks 

 has increased with such 

 z-apidity that it is almost 

 impossible to tell with 

 absolute certainty what 

 proportions our sales will 

 be the coming season. 

 Nevertheless, we know 

 that the safest plan for 

 our friends to follow is not 

 to wait until late in the 

 season or until a few days 

 before you wish the chicks, 

 but to order early and be 

 sure of getting your or- 

 der in good time. 



Single Comh 

 White Leghorns 



The ever-increasing de- 

 mand for Leghorn eggs in 

 the New York market has 

 led observing poultrymen 

 and farmers to look to the 

 Leghorn hen for highly prof- 

 itable results. 



The White Leghorn, gen- 

 erally known as "America's 

 Business Hen," has proven a 

 winner, and today there are 

 hundreds of large and small 

 commercial Leghorn fai-ms 

 successfully operated in New 

 York, New Jersey, Mary- 

 land and right through to the 

 South and far Western coast. 



Rhode Island 

 Reds 



As a "business hen" for 

 eggs and meat they are hard 

 to beat. They lay a well- 

 shaped, good-sized brown 

 egg, and mostly uniform in 

 shape, size and color. 



The matured feathering of 

 the Rhode Island Red is ncL 

 as yet uniform in coloring. 

 This is being improved each 

 year, to the great credit of 

 hundreds of our best breed- 

 ers of America. 



We can also supply other 

 varieties you may wish, and 

 will gladly answer your in- 

 quiries with lists and prices.

^^ Examine the Shipments 



On arrival open box, if any chicks are dead have postman 

 mark number on the back of the receipt and return the re- 

 ceipt to us, and we will refund your money for them or re- 

 place them free of charge. In this way you have no loss 

 and get full number you pay for. We have successfully 

 shipped baby chicks 1,000 miles and can guarantee safe ar- 

 rival. 



All claims must be made within twenty-four hours, to- 

 gether with a statement from your postmaster, showing the 

 chicks were received in poor condition. 



Have the brooder warmed up and ready to receive and 

 care for the chicks properly. 



Don't give baby chicks cold water to drink. Don't over- 

 feed chicks. Either of the above will start bowel troubles. 

 Feed liberally, so long as they keep active. Keep their backs 

 warm. 



If prices are reduced at the time of shipment the pur- 

 chaser will be proportionately credited with the amount due 

 ^or enough additional chicks shipped to make up the differ- 

 ence, or money will be refunded. 



If chicks ordered are not wanted for a month or more, 

 25 per cent of payment is all that is required at the time 

 of placing order. Balance must be paid ten days before 

 date given for shipment. All orders are acknowledged same 

 day received, with approximate date of shipment given.

 ly the number and variety 

 of chicks you want, when 

 wanted, and we will ac- 

 knowledge receipt of your 

 order at once, and tell 

 you about when the chicks 

 will be shipped. 



Cash must be sent with 

 your order, for we cannot 

 ship C. 0. D., by express 

 or parcel post. 



We guarantee to deliver 

 97 per cent of the Baby 

 Chicks to you in good con- 

 dition. 



White 

 Wyandottes 



This is one of the oldest 

 breeds and only its sterling 

 qualities have kept it from 

 being discarded long ago. 

 They are beautiful fowl with 

 large red rose comb, white 

 plumage and yellow skin. 

 They are splendid layers and 

 make first-class table fowl. 

 Our Wyandottes are devel- 

 oped from a flock, a pen of 

 which won first prize in one 

 of the recent egg-laying con- 

 tests. 



Barred Plymouth 

 Rocks 



The Barred Plymouth Rock 

 is most widelj'^ known as a 

 general purpose fowl, a breed 

 which has proven its value as 

 a market fowl and an egg 

 producer. They are extreme- 

 ly and well adapted as a 

 profitable and popular farm 

 flock. 



We breed for constitution- 

 al vigor, thereby maintain- 

 ing the greatest ^vitality of 

 the flock to attain as high an 

 egg production as is consist- 

 ent with retained vitality.
