Se Oe ee — eS ——— = = = —a — ALTIMORE IS THE LOWEST > MARKET IN THE UNITED STATES and gets lower freight rates than any other large city, be- cause of being so centraily located. Baltimore is nearer and has much quicker connections all over the South than any of the Northern cit- ies. It is an established fact that you can secure more and better seeds for your money in Baltimore than in any other city in the United States. Hardly a day passes but that we re- ceive from the largest truckers, mar- Ket gardeners, farmers, canners from North, East, South and West, who have found out for themselves or learned from their friends and more enterprising neighbors the great sav- ing and advantage to be obtained from buying their full Spring order of Garden Seeds, Potatoes, Clover, Tim- othy, ete., direct from Bolgiano of Baltimore. In Most Every In- stance You Can Get Your Goods Quicker, Cheaper and Eetter From Us Than From Ordering Nearer Your Home. OUR INTERESTS ARE NOT DIVIDED. EEDS ALONE occupy our time and attention. Your orders are handled by practical, experienced, expert men, who have devoted their lives to studying and caring for Seeds. Machinery, tools, hardware, dairy and poultry supplies, wagons, harness, etc., we do not handle. Therefore, having no other interests at stake, we are much better able to supply you at very low prices with fresh, carefully grown, reliable tested seeds than any farm imple- ment or agricultural supply house, who only sell Seeds as a side issue. ORDER EARLY. T IS MOST IMPORTANT TO OR- DER SOON AFTER YOU GET OUR CATALOGUE. Then you will have your Seeds at hand and ready for planting at the first opening of Spring. Besides, if you buy Seeds in large quantities, you will have plenty of time to ship by freight, which is much cheaper. By prepay- ing express charges on small orders, r they often can be sent as cheaply by OUR NEW STORE AND WAREHOUSE, express as by freight, and get to you N. W. COR.

O AFFORD a regular succession of crops throughout the season, plant every two weeks, from the middle of Spring to the end of Summer; but not until the soil be- comes warm, as they are very sensitive to both heat and cold. Plant in rows, 18 mches apart, 2 inches deep; cultivate fre- quently, but only when dry, as the scattering of earth on the foliage or pods, when moist, will cause them to become damaged with rust. This crop will flourish between the ridges of Celery, rows of Corn or Cabbage, when they are first planted, as the Beans would be ready for the table before the other crops attain any size.

HESE are usually plant- ed in hills and trained to’ poles, which should be 8 to 10 feet long, and firm- ly set in the ground from 3% to 4 feet apart each way. Draw around them a hill of earth, and plant 4 or 5 Beans to each hill, 1 inch deep, always observing to plant the eye of the Bean down, which will cause it to produce a_ stronger plant, and grow more freely. The Lima Bean is very delicate, and often fails to sprout from. slight causes; they should not be planted until the ground is warm. Do not allow more than 3 to climb a pole, but remove extra plants to hills where less than 2 have sprouted. la NORTH WEST CORNER [EETTEAT ANS TREY BALTIMORE. MD.C! \ / A - wily LIMA BEANS.

For Spring and early Summer erops sow in March or early in April in hot-beds and transplant to cold frame when sufficiently large, and to the open ground as soon as danger of hard freezing is over. The plants will endure a light frost. The soil should be made richer than is ordinarily used. Give the plants thorough culture and keep free from worms with Slug Shot Insect Powder. For late crops sow at same time as for late Cabbage; treat in the same manner.

Cut the tops off once or twice before 4 planting out, to make them stocky.

After the soil has been drawn up with the hoe, it is drawn closer around each A plant by the hand to keep the leaves firm in an upright position and prevent spreading. When the plants have become “set ”’ in an upright position, and the Celery is wanted for early use, they should be “banked.’’ This is done by throwing the soil up as close to the plants as i possible with a plow and finishing it with a spade, bringing the earth : > up nearly to the tops of the plants.

Nature’s most beautiful shade of green makes it attract and delight the eye; then what pleasure there is when the Farmers’ Pride Lettuce is placed on the best appointed tables. It contains a heart of gold—not a small one, but a large, generous heart, enough for all. The outer leaves, serving on the tablé as a background to this inviting dish, serve in the field in the coldest Winters as the heavy protector to the tender, delicious heart within, and during the hottest and driest of the Summer days these same leaves act as the pro- tector against the rays of a July suh, by gathering and holding moisture to cool and nourish the plant. Out of a very careful and highly successful: test of more than a hundred and fifty Lettuces, the Farmers’ Pride Lettuce is, in our opinion, and in the judgment of many able, experienced and successful market gardeners, an absolute necessity to any wide- awake, up-to-date grower of Vegetables.

THE MELON THAT HAS MADE ROCKY FORD FAMOUS. HERE is a difference in the stocks of Rocky Ford Melons that are being placed in the truckers’ hands, and that difference is most severely felt when the trucker places his so-called Rocky Ford atock on the market alongside of some of Bolgiano’s True, Handsome, Most Deliciously Flavored Stock. It does not then need the eye of an expert to discern the difference, for the one presents regularity of form, uniformity of size, each Melon cut proving the parent luscious stock, and the huckster, shipper, commission merchant, fruiterer, hotel keeper, quickly purchase this stock, knowing that they never have trouble sell- ing at good prices a Melon of such trueness and qual- ity. You may have been one of those who have been fooled elsewhere. You do not, under any circum- stances, want to lose your future opportunities of making compensating prices from the sale of this world-renowned Melon. But you do want to plant the real true stock from Bolgiano of Baltimore, who can send it direct to you, no matter where you live. Our crop has been a large one this year, and we are will- ing that you shall share with us the benefit of Na- ture’s blessings, and are therefore making the price reasonable, so everyone who sees this can have no excuse for planting poor mixed stock. It is impossible to secure truer, better stock, even if you pay five times the price we ask. We await your order, and shall take pleasure in promptly filling Pkt., Se.

BOLGIANO'S Baltimore Nutmeg Muskmelon S$ delicious in flavor, attractive in form and color, and un- excelled as a shipper. .Too much rain often spoils the best qualities of a Melon. Our seed of Baltimore Nutmeg Musk- melon is produced under a bracing, clear and invigorating cli- mate and upon irrigated land. This insures a parent stock of the finest flavor, cooling and invigorating, a stimulant to the appetite. It is indispensable to those who want the best Melons obtainable. The photograph above will give you an {dea of its beauty. We unreservedly recommend this Melon to you, and we firmly believe the cash balance of every trucker throughout the country will be materially increased if he grows our Superior Stock of Nutmeg Muskmelon. Obtain- able only of the originator, Bolgiano of Baltimore. Pkt., Se. Oz., 10c. 1/4 Lb., 15e. Lb., 40c. 5 Lbs., $1.75. een CULTURE.—Melons thrive best in a light, rich soil. Plant early in May, when the ground has become warm and dry, in hills 6 feet apart each way for Muskmelons, 8 feet for Water- melons. Previous to sowing the seed, mix a few shovelfuls of well-rotted manure in each hill, and plant in each 12 to 15 seeds; after all danger of the bugs is over, thin out to 3 plants per hill. When about 1 foot long, pinch off the tips to make them branch, as it strengthens the growth of the vines, and makes the fruit mature earlier. Give plenty of water, and feed liquid manure occasionally. A few hills, for early use, may be had by sowing on pieces of sod in a hot-be& and when warm enough transplant to open ground.

HIS variety has proven when planted for the market to be the most profitable of all the Muskmelons, bringing nearly twice as much per acre as could be realized from any other sort. It combines all the good qualities of the Netted Gem, Osage and Rocky Ford. The fruit is oval, about 5 inches in diameter, and in gen- eral appearance similar to the Rocky Ford. The flesh is firm, and of a rich, orange color, like that of the Osage, but is even sweeter, and more highly flavored, retaining its good qualities quite to the rind. The fruit is more uniformly good than any other Muskmelon known, every one, no matter how small, being of that sweet and rich flavor.

AY be grown in cellars, under benches of greenhouses, or in sheds, wherever the temperature of 50 degrees can be kept up through the Winter. The beds should he made from November to February, according to the time the Mushrooms are wanted, and it requires about two months for them to begin bearing. Secure fresh horse dung, free from straw and litter, and mix an equal bulk of loam from an old pasture with it. Keep this under cover, taking care to turn it every day to prevent heating, until the pile is large enough to make a bed of the required size. Three or four feet wide, eight inches deep, and any length desired, are the proper proportions for a bed; but these may be varied. Pre- pare the mixture of loam and manure, making the bed in lay- ers, and pounding down each with the back of the spade. Leave this to heat through for a few days, and as soon as the heat subsides to 90 degrees, make holes in the spawn two or three inches in diameter; fill up the holes with the com- post, and at the expiration of a week or ten days the spawn will have thoroughly diffused itself through the bed. Spread a layer of fresh soil over the heap to the depth of two inches, and cover with three or four inches of hay, straw or litter. | Examine the bed often to see that it does not get dry. Take special care, however, when water is given, that it be at a temperature of about 106 degrees. From experience with French and English Spawn, we find there is an important difference between them. If the manure bed is in proper con- dition, the French Spawn will take hold and grow fully as well as the English; but if the bed is not in the right state, it will often rot. The English Spawn, on the contrary, after starting a little, will remain in a comparatively dormant state for a long time without losing its vitality. It is well to keep these points in mind in ordering Spawn. ENGLISH. OU ne Se SR ASL eee iliac elas 100 Pounds.................... BC De) 8 CO Re ie (If by mail, add Ye. per pound for postage.)

RUE AMERICAN GROWN, Reliable Onion Seed, that which can be trusted, is of the most impor- tance to both the grower of large Onions and those who grow sets. We have never yet placed in the hands of any Onion grower seed which did not, from first to last, give entire satisfaction. We have made it a point to sell our customers no Onion Seed except it be from the most reliable sources possible. Our seed is grown from the earliest, most evenly developed, choicest bulbs, critically selected by the hand of an expert, is unsurpassed, no matter what price you pay. There has been no branch of our business which has so thor- oughly rewarded us for our extreme. care. JUST THINK, FARMER, if you plant inferior or poor, com- mon, imported Onion Seed (you may even be per- suaded to pay big prices for it—that is not always a protection), you have thrown to the wind your time, labor, fertilizer, and the use of your LAND for one long year, without any returns. We do not ask our customers fancy prices because we have reliable seed, but we make our prices reasonable, so that every grower can secure his entire supply of garden seed from us, and have something left to provide the other necessities and pleasures of life. Our Reliable Onion Seed will produce large-sized and fully developed Onions in one season in any section of the United States; amd it will produce them as easily and more cheaply an from sets. If our seed is planted thickly, it will ysroduce enormous crops of finest marketable sets. ©. THE EARLY YELLOW CRACKER.

This excellent plan is often referred to as the ‘‘ new Onion culture.’’ Onions are quite hardy and may be planted early. Frequent shallow culture is best, and the same soil may be used year after year, without rotation ef crops, if well fertilized annually. Winter storage demands dryness, coolness, good ventilation, and freedom from sudden changes. Spread 18 inches of straw on barn or garret floor, then 6 to 10 inches of Onions, then 2 feet of straw; or keep on shelves in a dry, cool cellar. Set large Onions in open ground in September.

UR STOCK is the genuine Early Rose, which still remains the standard early variety. It is so true and superior that Potato growers all over the North and Northwest find it absolutely necessary, if they want to help the purity of their stocks up, to annually get new seed from our Potato Seed Farms in Aroostook County, Maine. We annually send out thousands of bushels, which have given the most satis- factory and profitable crops. It is about a week earlier than the New York or Michigan Early Rose, more productive, of a decidedly handsome appearance.
