From
Guess Work—to Certainty
To Our Friends, Our Customers:
The greatest thing that has happened in our business lives and in the almost hundred years’ experience of our
establishment, is the fact, the seed business in the last few years, has emerged from a business of some indefiniteness to one of
almost absolute certainty.
The three great points of Trustworthy Seeds are: First, Stock Purity; Second, Mechanical Purity ; Third, Germination
and Vitality or Viability.
The first and most important point, Stock Purity, rests almost entirely upon the knowledge and_ integrity
of the Seed Grower. The accumulated experience of four generations, almost a hundred years, has taught us who are the
most Trustworthy Specialists among the Seed Growers of the world.
The second point, Mechanical Purity, for many years, was decided by the accuracy of the human eyes and years
of experience, but now, nothing so indefinite is done, for with Graduate Botanists making use of scientific and minutely
accurate apparatus working in our completely equipped Seed Laboratory, we are able to know to the one-hundredth part of
one per centum, the pure seed; the amount of small sticks, dirt and other inert matter; fhe number and kind of foreign
seeds, if any, of every variety of seed we buy or sell.
Mechanical Purity has never entered into Vegetable Seeds for they are grown under such intensive cultivation, foreign
seeds are entirely absent.
Man’s genius has perfected cleaning machinery that recleans all Field Seeds, Clover and Grasses within an extremely
small fraction of being absolutely pure.
The third point, Germination and Vitality or Viability, To be of value, all seeds must grow and grow
vigorously and with the aid of the most recent scientific information and test chambers constructed on principles laid
down by the Agricultural Department Experts, together with our hot house tests and field tests; the germination properties
of our seeds are frequently and accurately tested — several tests being made of each item at the same time under different
environments, so as to tally not only the number of seeds that grow, but also the vigor and strength with which they grow.
What You Are Justly Entitled To
Surrounding Our Seed with all these earnest efforts to have them Trustworthy, Pure and True, we can with confidence
solicit your order for seed for 1912 and believe that unless you secure seeds that have been as carefully watched and protected
from start to finish, you are not getting what you are justly entitled to. Good seeds are at the bottom of all good agriculture,
they are the foundation stones, success is impossible without them. Our chief ambition for 1912 is to make happy and more
prosperous every customer of our house. Yours respectfully.
J. Bolgiano & Son.
January Ist, 1912.

“Prosperity Tomato”
The Wonder Among New Early Tomatoes
That Has Attracted So Much
Attention.
Bolgiano’s Marvelous New Early Red Tomato
“PROSPERITY”
First Offered - Spring, 1912
E10: We didn’t want to name this New Early Tomato ““PROSPERITY” but we couldn’t help it, no
other name could tell so quickly and so thoroughly how good it was.
“PROSPERITY” means Success, Good Fortune, Entire and Complete Satisfaction; finding a
Tomato possessing all these qualifications and advantages, we instinctively thought of ““PROSPERITY.”’
Description:—The earliest of all tomatoes, a brilliant red, an enormous yielder, grown and de-
veloped from single plant selections covering a period of five years, filled full of strong, sturdy, healthy,
new blood—so good we have felt inclined to wait another year, so as to accumulate a little larger stock
of seed before offering it for sale—but here it is and the opportunity is yours while our limited supply
of seed lasts. Price:—Package 25c. 45 Oz. 75c. 1 Oz. $1.35. %% Lb. $5.00.

A Money Maker When Every Thing Goes Wrong
On Feb. 7th, 1911 Mr. T. D. Lawrence of Licking Co., Ohto, wvrttes
as follows: Please send me vour Catalogue for 1911. I had a fine crop
of vour I. X. L. Tomatoes last year although we had the worst drouth
LT ever experienced. Had my first setting froze down. TI reset again
and it turned cold again, the plants stood seeming to go back for two
weeks and then started to grow, then we had a long bad drouth for
weeks nevertheless these tomatoes made me more money than any I
ever vatsed.
Best Crop In 12 Years
Mr. Charles L. Tabis of Middlesex Co., Mass, writes as follows: I
have been vatsing Tomatoes for the last 12 vears and I have never had
such acropas I had last year from Bolgiano’s I. X. L. Tomato Seed.
The Best Ever Planted In Virginia
Mr. John M. Setp of Rapidan Co., Va., on February 26th, 1911,
writes as follows: ThelI. X. L. Tomato does better here than any
variety I have used. It is the best eaviy Tomato ever planted here.
About 800 Crates To The Acre
Mr. R. FE. Athey, of Putnam Co., Fla., writes asfollows: ‘The pound
of 1. X. L. Tomato Seed which I bought from you ayvear ago was planted
at Yuma, Arizona and made the best crop of Tomatoes and the earliest in
that section. Thefrutt was even sized, true to shape and color and shipped
betler than any other variety. We planted only % pound of the seed and it
made 800 crates on alittle more than one acre. I consider the I. X. L. the
best carly market vartety and that it ts adapted to Yuma Vaillev. SIDE
BY SIDE WITH THE FARLIANA THET. X.L. MAIN CROP WAS
ONE WEEK EARLIER. Twill bein South Eastern Arizona this com-
ing season and will want to plant more of vour seed.”
I. X. L. Makes Him Rich
On August 31st, 1910, Mr. Wm. Dulcaster of Mahoning Co., Ohio,
writes as follows: Imust thank vou for the I. X. L. Tomato Seed I bought
Jrom you in the Spring. “I have made $500 from an acre and expect to
sell about 150 baskets more. I7 wed $1.00 per basket for all I planted.
Lt ts the largest and earliest Tomato I ever received. TI felt rich when I
picked 200 baskets two weeks ago and received $1.00 for every basket.”
“My Maryland”
Bolgiano’s Wonderful New Tomato
_ King of Them All. Has Surpassed the Best
Yielding Tomato in the World More Than 100%—
77. A Marvelous Doubie Yielder,
Side by side it has produced three times the
crop produced by the Stone or New Century. It
has even doubled the yield of the Greater Balti-
more Tomato.
The vast possibilities of this New Tomato are
astounding. We believed in Greater Baltimore
Tomato the limit of productiveness had been
reached, but ‘‘My Maryland’’so far outyields any
other Tomato ever grown that its remarkable
productiveness is amazing. People have driven
miles to seea field of ‘‘My Maryland” ‘Tomatoes
and they all marveled at the prodigious abund-
ance of the crops it had produced. The fields
were literally covered with the finest well-shaped,
perfectly formed, solid, smooth, bright red, uni-
form fruit, allfree from roughness and cracks,
much larger thanany they had ever seen before.
It was called then and there ‘‘A Winner” and it
well deserved the title. The Tomatoes are much
larger and far heavier than either the Greater
Baltimore or the New Century. By most careful
re-selections for five years, we have thoroughly
established the purity and trueness of “My Mary-
land”? Tomato, and are delighted to be the intro-
ducer of a Tomato which from start to finish is
“King Of Them All.”’ A real “Double Yielder”’
that will be known as the best second early and
main crop Tomato the world over in less thana
year. Supply of Seeds is limited. To be sure of
securing some, place your order as quickly as
possible. Pkt. 10c. Oza25c3 2OZ a o0C

Turned Out Best In Maryland
On September 1, 1911, Mr. W. J. Jeffers of Kent
Co., Md,, writes as follows: “TI purchased some of
sour My Maryland’ Tomato Seed this Spring, and
they turned out beller than any other Tomato in
our section.’
Good Crops Even In Bad Seasons
On Aug. 22,1910, Mr. W. T. Bosworth of New-
port, Washington County, Ohio, writes as follows:
“Twant to tell you about The “My Maryland’ To-
matoes, the seed of which I bought of you last
Spring—lI have been having lots of Tomatoes gocd
sizeand excellent qualily. the vines bearing from
the gvound to the top. Notwithstanding this has
been an unfavorable season for tomatocs, late frosts
and prolonged dry weather have blighted other to-
matoesfearfully, but mine have stood up under the
adverse conditions remarkably well. If this had
been a favorable season I don't believe the vines
would have held the fruit. In concluston I want
to say Iwish you great prosperity in the seed bust-
mess.”
Better Than Any Of Them
New York Agr. Exp. Station, Geneva, N.Y.
Prof. R. Wellington, writes Septeniber 28, 1910.
“Very much pleased with ‘My Maryland’ To-
mato this season. . Vines healthy, vigorons but not
so rank as Livingston's Stone. Frutt large, smooth and firm, should
make a good shipper aswellasagood canning Tomato. Plants tested
seemed to be identical in all vespects, and so there is no doubl that the
stvain has been carefully selected. This variety should be of great value
for market as well as canning purposes. We have tested several vartelies
of Tomatoes this past season and ‘My Maryland’ Tomato has made as
good a showing, Uf not better than any of them.”
Yields Unusually Heavy
Rhode Island Agr. Station, Kingston, R. I. Prof. S. C. Damon,
Director, writes Febvuary 27,1911. “Spring of 1410 I received a package
of ‘My Maryland’ Tomato Seed from you. The seeds were started under
glass and the plants were culttvated in the field under two methods. Part
were trained and tted up to stakes, and some were given field cullure con-
ditions. The yvteld in both cases were unusually heavy, and the fruit was
exceptionally solid and satisfactory in all particulars. It rtpened early
and continued over along season, and on thewhole, was very satisfactory.”
Fine Variety In Every Respect
The Connecticut Agr. Exp. Station, New Haven, Conn. Prof. FE. H.
Jenkins. writes September 25,1910. *‘We found the ‘My Maryland’ To-
mato a fine variety in every respect. It grew vigorously, yielded well and
the fruit was large, fleshy and firm. It ts obvtously a productive variely.”’
Short Jointed—It Forms Large Clusters At Every Joint
: Mr. J. A. Dean of Beaumont, Texas, on July 24, 1910, writes as follows:
‘Your New Tomato, ‘My Maryland’ boughtfrom you last March proves
to bea world beater. It is without a doubt one of the finest and best crop-
ping tomatoes to grow; tl has more good qualities than any other Tomato,
the plant being short jointed and forms suchlarge clustersof fruit at every
joint, the fruit being so untform in shape and color, making it outsell any
Tomato on the market.

“My Maryland’? Goes Ahead Of Any Tomato
Miles Rausch of Plainfield, N. J., writes January 19,1911. ‘My Mary-
Zand’ Tomato goes ahead of any Tomato Tl ever grew. I setout five hun-
dred of ‘My Maryland’ and five hundred of ‘Greater Baltimore side by
side last Spring andTI find that ‘My Maryland’ Tomatoes held out a
great deal the best, the vines of ‘My Maryland” Tomato kept green until
the frost killed them, and even then they had lots of fruit on them.”
“My Maryland’ The Best In A Long Life Experience
Mr. L. Repman of Lawrence Co., Pa., on February 9, 1911, writes as
Jollows: “As your seeds are good, but advanced age ts reducing my gar-
den work, Lam doing but little; but tr Tomato, My Maryland’ were the
very best tn all my experience last season, so kindly send me more.’
Decidedly Disease Resistant
Massachusetts Agr. College, Amherst, Mass. Prof. C. S. Heller, writes
Sept. 28,1910. “Wetried your new’ My Maryland’ Tomatoes alongside
of others in the same field and given similar treatment. TI find it to be
.avery destrable sort. Compared with others, tt ts decidedly disease veststant
and a heavy ytelder. Tnhefruits are large, smooth and quite regular,
ripening very evenly.”
Delighted With It :
Kansas State Agr. College, Wahatlan, Kan. Prof. Albert Dickens
writes Seplember 26,1910. “We have been delighted with the showing
made by your New Tomato,’ My Maryland.’ It ts still in Jull bearing,
ye plember 23d.’
ne All Were Large And Firm ; :
Mr. Geo. Frampton, of Talbot Co., Md., on April 25, 1911, writes as fol.
lows: ‘I vecewed $5.00 as a prize on Ms Marviand\ Tomato at our County
Fair. Last year l grew 13 tons to the acrefrom My Maryland, seed, all
of the Tomatoes were large and firm. I like “My Maryland’ Tomato

1035. ‘This wonderful new Lima is the earliest, largest and best of all
large Limas; the vigorous bushes are crowded with enormous pods. The
delicious green beans are larger than any other Tima Bean. It yields
continuously from June until frost. Both the pods and the luscious fla-
vored beans are much larger and considerably thicker than the Large
Bush Jima. The plants grow upright about 30 inches high and 24 inches
across, with luxuriant sheltering foliage and are very sturdy. Often
five to eight pods measuring five to six inches long by 1% inches wide are
born in clusters on one stalk. The shelled beans either green or dry
are nearly twice as thick as the large Bush Limas. “‘Enormous’’ Bush
Limas will outyield Large Bush Limas by 33% per cent.. on account of
the greater size of both pods and beans. TheSeed Beans are greenish

Both podsand beans are twice the size of Dreer’s

1119. Fordhook Bush Lima is altogether unique. Nothing like it has
ever been seen before. Of strong, erect, true bushlike growth, never
running, the bushes average 20 to 30 inches in height by 20 to 24 inches
across the top. The foliage is of heavy texture and very dark green in
color. The stalks that produce the blossoms are thrown out from the
latteral and main stalks: the pods are borne in ‘‘clusters”’ of from four to
eight. The pods resemble those of the Dreer’s Bush Lima. but average
more than double the size, measuring from 4 to 5% inches long about 14
inches wide, by as much as three-fourths of an inch thick. The pods
contain three to five large beans with an average of four.
Fordhook Bush Lima is fully 334 per cent heavier cropper and
therefore, is bound to entirely displace the Dreer’s Bush Lima. In sea-
son it is from four to six daysearlier. Pt.15c. Qt. 25c. 4 Qts. 90c.

171. Several years ago we were spending our vacation in the mountains; during our absence one of the leading Watermelon growers, living
about 100 miles from Baltimore, wrote us he had foranumberof years been developing an extra, selected strain of Watermelon, and the
result of his efforts had gone far beyond anything he had ever hoped to produce. Were we interested? He shipped us several samples, these
came on boat to Baltimore 100 miles, then on railroad through the mountains for 250 miles. Reaching usin perfect condition after traveling
350 miles, through rough country and roughly handled. These melons attracted the attention of everyone by their beautiful deep green
color, stately size and excellent shape. We had them on exhibition, then took them with us backinto the mountains. We put the melons
in a Cold Mouatain Spring, and ina few hours wecut them. The Melons were ina perf2ct cond'tion. ‘‘Red to the Rind.” and entirely free
from stringiness. We immediately inspected and purchased the crop. The Cold Mountain Spring Watermelon is a winner as a shipper. as

Chinese Giant produces uniformly monstrous peppers of thick blocky form and most
brilliant glossy scarlet. They grow four to fiveinches broad at the top.and are of. equal

generally longer than those setting later on the upper branches, although the latter are
equally as broad. Allare uniformly of most ‘‘enormous’’ size. The flesh is extreme-

smooth large Potatoes, even under the most
uufavorable circumstances, and can be relied
upon to bringin good money. It is undoub-
tedly the handsomest large potato ever pro-
duced, and will outyield any other Potato, and
practically every Potato of Marketable size.
It is ahead of all others in yield and smooth-
‘| ness, and is of excellent quality. Every far-
mer will, after giving this most wonderful
Potato a tril, discard every other kind and
plant nothing but Bolgiano’s Prosperity
Potato for his main crop. Itgrows a very
strong, upright top with dark colored stalks
and purple blossoms, andis very little affected
by drought, blight or bugs. The flesh is as
white as snow, and cooks dry and mealy.
The eyes are even with the surface, the skin
white with rich yellowish-creamy cast, and
considerably ruffled or netted. This Potato
will astonish old Potato-Growers in its abun-
dent yields and fine qualities, and every person

Gray’s ‘Mortgage Lifter’ Potato
Mr. Gray has grown several bumper crops of Gray's ‘Mortgage Lifter” Potatoes; he says they were so large they reminded him of young pigs,

have grown a crop of this Grand New Potato. It certainly is something to marvel at, and yetif all our customers realized its great value our
limited supply would not be a drop in the bucket. Itis an early variety, maturing a little later than the Crown Jewel; it is pure white, large
handsome size, distinctive in shape, being long, well filled and tapering at both ends. Eyes are strong and well set, not too deeply , however.
It certainly isa beauty and one grower says they grow so large it don’t take many to filla barrel, noculls, and by the carload they brought
over $20a car more than the best Potatoon the market. Mr. Prevatt, of Seville, Fla., after giving this Grand Potato athorough trial, orders
eight barrels in the place of one he planted last year. Mrs. Wm. G. Harvey, of Roslyn, Md., callsit the ‘Farmers Favorite.” Among other
names it was called are ‘Maryland Beauty,” ‘‘Money-Maker,”’ “‘Virginia Wonder,” ‘‘The Excelsior,” “Gold Standard:;” ‘‘Silver King,’’ etc. We
finally selected Gray’s “‘Mortgage Lifter’ as suggessed by Mr. Jas. T. Gray, of Grange, Md., because Mr. Gray actually paid off a good size
mortgage on his farm with the proceeds from the Wonderful Cr p of this Grand New Potato which he grew this year, and we hope that the

Absolutely The Best Lawn Seed Experience Can Suggest Or That Money Can Buy
Will Produce A Beautiful And Permanent Lawn In Four To Six Weeks
A smooth velvety lawn surrounding a house adds not only to the value, but enhances the enjoyment of every home, whether it be in city, town
or country. When properly made, a lawn is the best investment a home owner can make. The following suggestions muy be of benefit,
especially to those whoare about to make a new lawn.
A lawn may be made in two ways, by sodding or by sowing seed. Sodding is not only very expensive, but unsatisfactory as well, Sods are
ordinarily taken froma pasture or along the roadside and almost invariably contain weed seeds and course tufty grasses which make their
appearance after the lawn is made. Seeding is not only cheaper, but is attended with better results.
The most important thing to consider in selecting seed forlawn grass, is to obtain a proper mixture of several varieties, for two reasons.
First, each variety is at its best during a certain part of the season. By properly choosing early, medium and late grasses, a smooth, even, green
lawn is assured from early spring tolateautumn. Second, a given area can supportonly so many grass plants of one kind for they all absorb
thesame sort of food, but if several varieties are sown, the same area will support many more plants, as different sorts live on various elements
in the soil. This will give a much thicker and more luxuriant turf all over the lawn.
With these facts in mind our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass Seed is scientifically combined. Our experience of many years has
given us an intimate knowledge of grasses, their habits and requirements. In our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass Seed are
included only the very best varieties—pure, clean and free from foul seed.
Our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Iawn Grass is very quick in growth, is ready for mowing in from 4 to 6 weeks from time the seed is sown.
From early spring until late in the fall, lawns sown with our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass remain green and fresh, for the reason,
that this mixture includes quick growing varieties which are at their best soon after the frost is out of the ground, others that mature and flourish
in midsummer, and still others that are greenest and sturdiestin autumn. For each of these seasons there are several different varieties living
on different elements in the soil, so that one is certain always to havea satisfactory carpet of green wherever our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green
Lawn Grass is sown.
Not only is our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass suitable for the making of new lawns, but it will be found equally valuable for
quickly renewing imperfect, old and worn-out areas. Always see that the soil is thoroughly prepared, carefully pulverized and enriched with
Sheep Manure or Bone Fertilizer before sowing the seed. One pound will sow 20 x 20 feet, 10 pounds will sow 50 x 150 feet, 60 pounds will sow

quantities of weeds. We have therefore had
prepared for us a special lawn fertilizer which
is clean and high grade in every respect, and
free from disagreeable odors. It produces a
rapid and ri-h green growth of grass, and

1000 two-year-old roots, will last for years and furnish an abundance.
Directions, Select a good sandy loam, plow the ground as deep as possible, dig out 12 inches deep, put
in a layer of 4 inches of good, strong stable manure, and press down; then fill in with good, rich, black
loam to the top of the bed; sow on the top of the bed 100 Ibs of Kainit to 1000 square feet of bed; incorporate
this thoroughly to depth of 3inches. After leveling bed off even, stretch a line the length of bed 9 inches
from the edge, and with a spade cut a furrow 8 inches deep, set a row of plants along the trench 9 inches
apart, with the crowns of the roots 2 inches below the surface, then cover up, make even and plant other
? rows 9 inches apart.

Culture. Seed of the sweetest varieties is
liable to rotif planted in wet or cold ground.
Yet if we have an early warm spell in Spring,
it may pay us to take some risks. Often the
plants, when once up, will escape injury by a
belated light frost. Plantin warm soil 5 or6
kernels to a hill making the rows 3 feet apart
for the dwarfer early sorts and 4 feet apart
for the taller late sorts. Hills to be 2 to 3 feet
apart in the rows, thin out to three plants in
ahill. Hoe often and draw soil up to the
stem, break off side shoots.
To have the finest Sweet Corn, it must be
picked in just the right condition; that is
when the skin of the grain breaks at the
slightest pressure, and plantings should be
made frequently enough to havea supply at
this stage. The quality will be inferiorif it
is either a few days too old or too young.
Second Early
1068. PeepeosDay. Thetwopoints to this
remarkable Corn are its extraordinary earli-
ness and unparalleled sweetness. So marked
is its sweetness and delicacy of flavor that
many of ourcustomers plant PEEP-O-DAY
exclusively, arranging the plantings a few
days apart so asto havethis delicious Corn
throughout the season. It is wonderfully pro-
ductive. Our crops for three years almost
double the yield per acre of any other variety
we have grown, early or late. Incredible as
this may seem, it is readily accounted for by
the fact that the stalks bear from 3 to 5 ears
each and the growth being dwarf—about 4
feet—admits of a very close planting. Prices:

Pepino One ounce will plant fifty hills,

CULTURE For very early, sow in hotbeds upon pieces of sod; or in small pots, and they can be readily transplanted with a gain of about six weeks
before they can be sown in the open ground. Plant out in rich soil when danger of frost is over, or protect by hand glasses; or by paper held down at the
corners with a handful of earth. For general crops, sow in the open ground as soon as the weather is settled and warm, and every two weeks for a succes-
sion. For pickles sow from middle of June to first week of July. Sod land, turned over in the fall, is the best for them. Plantin hills 4 feet apart, putting
a shovelful of well rotted manure in each hill.

Culture. Melons thrive best ina light, rich soil. Plant early in May,
when the ground has become warm and dry, in hills 5 to 6 feet apart each
way for Muskmelons; 8 to 10 feet for Watermelons. Previous to sowing the
seed, mix a few shovelfuls of wellrotted manure in each hill, and plant in
each 12 to 15 seeds; after all danger of the bugs is over, thin out to three or
four plants per hill. A few hills for early use may be had by sowing on
pieces of sod in a hotbed, and when warm enough transplant to open ground.
Melon vines are subject to the same destructive insects and fungous foes as
are cucumber and squash vines. Early and repeated spraying with Bordeaux
Arsenate of Lead Mixture is always advisable for these crops.

Culture. The soil for water
melons must be light, rich and
sandy, forif grown ona heavy soil
the quality will be poor, and they
will not be so early. When there is
no more danger of frost, drop 8 to 10
seeds in hills 8 to 10 feetapart each
way,covering about 34 inch deep.
As soon as plants commence to run,
thin out to3 best plantsin a hill and
cultivate until the vines cover the
whole ground. If slow to fruit,
pinch off the ends of the growing
shoots. Ash or air-slaked lime
sifted on the young plants while
dew is on is good to keep insects out.
One ounce will plant about 30 hills,

| Culture. For early green or bunching Onions sow seed of Silver Skin or other hardy
| white varieties in early Augustin well prepared and well drained rich, loamy soil, giving
one foot space between the rows, and using 20 pounds of seed per acre. In many localities
they winter well without much or other protection. For dry (fall) bulbs, select a clean,
rich, well drained and well manured piece of land, prepare a perfect seed bed, and sow seed
in early springin drills 15 inches or so apart, using 4to5 pounds of seed per acre. Use
wheel-hoe and weeders freely and thin plants to stand at least 2inches apart in the rows.
Pull when tops begin to die down, cure and sell, or store in acool,dry place. For sets, select
clean sandy soil of medium fertility, prepare it wellin early spring, and at once sow seed
in drills a foot apart, using 40 to 60 pounds of seed per acre. Gather the sets when ripe,
cure aud store ina dry, airy place. They may be wintered in a slightly frozen condition,
but must be protected from repeated freezing and thawing. In early spring following, plant
them in shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and about 2 inches apart in the drill.
By sowing seed of the Spanish type, such as the Prizetaker and Southport Globes, under
glass in January, February, or even March, and transplanting in April to open ground 3 to
4 inches apart in the rows, bulbs of immense size may be produced.
214. White Silver SKin Onion. ‘This superior stock is almost exclusively used for
growing sets, which is the strongest proof that it is the best from which to grow the large
white Onions. Its delicate, mild flavor, its stately form and large handsome size, its pure
white color, make it a most desirable variety for the table, the most profitable for market
and shipping. Plants are of an extremely thin neck and type, and sure to ripen early.
Bulbs are perfect in form and quite thick through. ‘They are fine-grained, crisp and mild.
Bulbs should be harvested as soon as ripened and dried in the shade to preserve their silvery

One quart will plant about 100 feet of drill. One and one-half to two bushels for an acre.
Culture. Peas of extra early, smooth class are the very first thing to be planted in the garden in spring.
The wrinkled sorts follow a little later, as they are not quite so hardy. ‘Tall late varieties need brush or
other support. By selecting sorts that do not grow much over two feet high. the necessity of providing
brush may be avoided. Judicious selection of varieties and planting frequently for succession will give a
full supply of the choicest green Peas almost during the entire season, with the possible exception of the
hottest part of the summer. Open furrows three or four inches deep and threef eet apart: scatter the seed
Peas into them and cover with hoe or plow. Cultivate like corn or beans. The late tall sorts may be
planted in double rows and brush stuck in between them for support. All Garden Peas, however, require
good, strong and fertileland. Heavy yields cannot be obtained on poor soil. The very dwarfest sorts of
oe Amencan Wonder type will succeed only on the very richest garden land, and may be planted in rows
a foot apart.
4=-Those Marked with a star (*) are wrinkled marrows, and unless otherwise stated should be sown
thicker than the round Peas, and not until the ground has become warm as they are more liable to rot.
They are the finest flavored of all Peas.

cause of the scarcity of barrels in Maine we always
ship in barrel sacks of 165 lbs. net. If wanted in

Culture. Any good weil drained, fibrous loam will
produce Potatoes under right climatic conditions.
For early Potatoes, which mature in 8 to 10 weeks
from planting, the soil must be particularly rich. A
rich clover sod, manuredand broken the year before
and planted to corn, beans, peas, oats, etc., is in best
shape for giving a good yield of nice, clean Potatoes.
Stable manure had better be applied to the land the
year before, while some good complete fertilizer, at
the rate of up to 1000 pounds per acre if applied broad-
cast, or 400 to 600 pounds ifapplied mostly in the rows,
may be used directly for the Potato crop. Open fur-
rows 3ft. apart and 3 to 4 inches deep. Apply the
fertilizer, and run the furrower or small plow again
in the furrow to mix the fertilizer with the soil and
leave a mellow seedbed. Then plant good-sized
pieces, each containing not less than 2 or 3 eyes, 15
inches apart in the furrows for early Potatoes, and 18
inches apart for late ones. In some of the large
Potato sections the Potatoes are always planted in
check rows 3 feet apart each way. Cover withcoverer,
smill plow or other suitable tool. Cultivate often.
Spray with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture as a
protection from flea beetle, potato beetle and blight.
8 to 10 bushels will plant an acre.

Culture. Sow assoon as the ground is dry in the Spring, in
rows 8 to 12 inches apart, every week or ten days for a succes-
sion, up to the middle of June, after which they are but little
used, unless a cool northern spot can be found, where the ground
is shaded during part ofthe day. They should be sown in light,
rich soil,as a crisp Radish cannot be produced in heavy soils.
Sow also in early Fall for late crops and Winter use. Sow 8 to
12 pounds tothe acre. Radishes should be eaten when quite
small; it is a mistake to let them grow too long and too large,
This applies particularly to Ruby King and small turnip-shape

Culture. Spinach is an important market gardener’s crop, of easy culture. For spring and summer use sow in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as
early as the ground can be worked, and every two weeks fora succession. For winter and early spring use, sow in September in well manured ground;
cover with straw on the approach of severe cold weather. The
ground cannot be too rich; the stronger the ground’the more delicate
and succulent will be the leaves.
Light applications of nitrate of soda have often a magic effect on
Spinach. Spinach is sometimes forced by sowing in early Septem-
ber in frames, over which sash is placed during February and March,
and further protected by mats during severe freezing weather.

Our Turnip and Ruta Baga Seeds are grown exclusively from perfect turnips, every one of which is selected and then transplanted for the growth of
our seed. Hence, Turnip crops from our seeds must of necessity be very choice and most satisfactory in size, in trueness, in solidity and in beauty.
Crops
from our seed will prove infinitely better than much of the trashy seed sold for Turnip Seed, which for the careless manner in which it is grown and in
inferiority of stock so frequently produces little more than Turnip Tops. Secure your supply from our superior stock.

Winter use, may besown from the middle of July until the end of August. Turnips are gen-

cultivating in drills 18 inches apart and thinning to 6 inches in the drill. Sow in drills, one
pound to the acre; broadcast, two to three pounds to the acre.

Grass and Clover Seed Mixtures for Hay and Pastures
These Mixtures give the very best and most satisfactory results to customers, and our trade in them is increasing rapidly. The advantage of sowing
grasses and cloverseed in mixtures has long been recognized and the practice is increasing to a very remarkable extent all through the South. Weare the
pioneer seedsmen in Baltimore in putting up special mixtures for different soils, and the results to our customers have been exceedingly satisfactory, result-
ing in largely increased crops both of hay and pasturage. We will take pleasure in advising our customers as to suitable grasses for their soilsand purposes.
We hvae in the Following Mixtures combined grasses suitable for the various soils and uses for which they are recommended. Those for permanent
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 de-
sired more for cutting for hay have combined grasses which ripen together. In all our mixtures we are introducing small quantities of Alfalfa Clover
with the idea of inoculating the land with Alfalfa bacillus. Alfalfa revolutionizes farming but the bacillus must be established before the revolution can occur.
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; 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, even lower than if they purchased the seed separately.

Grass and Clover Seeds
The Plain Truth About Grades
The terms Fancy, Choice, Prime and Fair, by which different grades of
Grass and Clover Seeds are usually known, have become so much abused by
some dealers who apply these terms indiscriminately to any quality of seed
that we many years ago established two grades of our own, called ‘‘Gold”
and ‘Silver.”’
J. Bolgiano & Son “‘Gold’? Grade we intend shall invariably represent the
best seed obtainable, both as respects purity and high germination. Anyone
who buys our Gold grades may return them at our expense, if, upon receipt
and examination, they are found in any respect unsatisfactory, and money
paid for same, will be promptly refunded.
Silver, the next best grade to Gold, but not of quite the same purity. It
frequently happens that the demand is greater than the supply of Gold
grades, as but a small proportion of the total seed gathered will make Gold;
we then recommend our Silver grade as being the best on the market.
We wish to call attention to the fact that in cleaning seed so as to make our
Gold and Silver grades, there is much seed removed which, while not of
sufficient high quality to grade Gold and Silver, is suitable for seed, and this
is sold under lower grades, such as Fancy, Choice, Prime, ete. We do not
quote these g1ades in our catalogue as the most of our sales are for Gold and
Silver grades,

1123, Tall Meadow Oat. Evergreen Grass. Yielding 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 pop-
ular. It will keep green all winter and allsummer; the drought of mid-
summers or the cold of winter 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. Itcontains more flesh and muscle-forming material than
Timothy, but itis 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 re-
sults than any other grass on light, medium soils. Sown alone use 2 to3 bus.

1114. Orchard Grass. One of the best and most reliable grasses for the Mid-
dle 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. Itstarts
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. Itshould be cut when in blossom,
as the hay is injured if the seed is allowed toripen. Itcan be sown in the
spring or fall, either with grain or alone. Sowtwo bus. per acre if sown

Quoting from bulletin issued by the Dept. of
Agriculture on January 1908, “It is worse than useless to attempt to grow any leguminous crop without being certain of the presence of the bacteria which
enable the plants to fix free nitrogen.”
The method of transfer of soil for inoculation is both costly and dangerous,—weed seed, soil and plant diseases are transferred in this way. All
innoculations should be done by means of the pure cultures of nitrogen-gathering bacteria which are free from contamination and contain only active
bacteria of the proper kind. These standard innoculatious are known as Farmogerm, and we strongly advise the use of the cultures whenever you plant
legumes of any description.

kinds of stock. Kentucky has long been famous for its high bred horses and its Blue Grass
pastures. Itis now possible to establish on most any farm a Blue Grass pasture of grecnest
verdure which will give very profitable returns. This grass is the first to start up in the spring
and remains green until snow flies in the fall. Itis very hardy and is uninjured by cold or dry
weather, hot sun or tramping of hoofs. Theroots are so thick and stontthat they form a tough
sod. Blue Grass requires about two years to get well started and for that reason it is often sown
in mixture with other grasses. It willdo wellonalmostany land. Sow in the fallor spring at

very good results on light soils and the very best results on heavier, moist or lowground soils.
Itis rather late in starling in spring, and matures its crop the same time as Timothy. Is excel-
Je itly adap‘ed for seeding with Timothy for hay,and furnishes excellent pasturage afterward.
When it gets well established it spreads, and will gradually supplant other grasses. Our Gold

Yields enormous crops of splendid hay and affords early and abundant pasturage. It ada, ts
itself to almost every condition of soiland climate and to any use to which grass may be
put, equaling in quality and rivaling in yield almost any other grass. The roots push
through the soil and form fresh plants on every side. Noamountof cold seems to be able
to killit. It bears up well under hot summer suns. It will grow under conditions that are
very dry, and it canalso stand being covered with water, not deep of course, for one or two
weeks in early spring. It is an abundant producer of leavesandis much relished as pasture |
and hay. It is about equally nutritious with timothy. This grass may be sown at any time
of the year when the ground is bare, but the best season isin the spring, and with or with-
outa nurse crop. If sown witha nurse crop that crop should be sown thinly. 15 pounds
of good Bromus Inermis an acreis sufficient. It grows slowly fora time, hence the farmer
should not be hasty in concluding that he has failed to get a stand of the grass. Price,

Clovers
Bolgiano’s “Gold” Brand Seeds Are Standard
The prices herein are based on values at time of going to press with this Catalogue.
They are subject to market fluctuations.
Clover is a necessity on every farm and will add millions of dollars to the value of land and crops.
Looking to the future, no time should be lost in introducing the bacilliof the Red and Alfalfa
Clovers. The use of nitro culturesmay tend to hasten their establishment, but nature’s way and
the best way is to use a small quantity of seed, say a pound or two each of Red and Alfalfa Clover
to the acre with whatever crop you are seeding. After a little you have the prized bacilliin your
land, then you may safely cali your farm doubled in value, from a producing standpoint.
Alfalfa Seed Alfalfa yields splendidly throughout the South, Yielding 4 or 6 Cuttings Per
« Year. Increasing Yield Each Successive Year.
1128. Alfalfa ranks higher than timothy hay in feeding value. In fact it might be termed both
corn and hay, asit is almost a complete food. Experiment stations place the feeding value of
Alfalfa hay at $20 per ton, as against timothy hay at $12 per ton. This, with thefact that Alfalfa
will, under favorable circumstances, after a good stand is secured, give 4 or 6 cuttings per year,
and willeasily yield on good land, 6 to 16 tons of splendid hay per year, shows what a valuable crop
itis. Lands in the Western States that are well set in Alfalfa sell readily at from $100 to $200 per
acre; so that a crop of this kind pays forthe little extra care and preparation given to secure
good stands and good crops, better to have five acres well set in Alfalfa, by thorough preparation,
than to attempt to put in ten acres without first-class preparation. The acreage of Alfalfa is
increasing very largely all over the Middle and Southern States, our farmers are fast beginning
to realize what a valuable crop it is for this section. Alfalfa will succeed and do well on any good
loamy, well-drained soil, but the land must be well and thoroughly prepared for the best results.
The plant is rather slender when it first starts, and must be grown under favorable conditions, in
order to get ahead of the weedsand other grasses which would, under ordinary circumstances,
spring up naturally and check it or smotherit out. Alfalfa should always be cut when just
commencing to bloom, whether the plants be largeor small. If the seed is allowed to form, the
growth of the plant ceases. It should never be used for pasture, it is too valuable asa hay pro-
ducer torisk injury from stock. Alfalfa can be sown either in the Spring or Fall. The require-
ments to obtain good stands and good crops is to sow in good, rich soil and give thorough prepara-
tion. A heavy application of lime is of decided benefit—2,000 to 5,000 lbs, per acre. Alfalfa is
usually sown broadcast, at the rate of 20 to 30 Ibs. to the acre, although some of our customers claim
that thicker seedings give better crop results. March and Aprilare the best months for seeding in
the Spring, and the latter part of August and during September the best in the Fall. Our Allalfa
seed is the highest grade, strong-germinating seed of the best and cleanest quality it is possible to
procure. The quality and germination of the seed is a prime requisite for success with this crop.
Land well set in Alfalfa is better than a bank account, producing continuously increasing crops for
years and is worth a little trouble and expense to secure a first-class stand. Priceof our “Gold”

Say! Where Did You Get That Corn?
On Oct. Ist, 1910, Mr. L. W. Hammersley of Campbell Co., Va., writes as follows: “On April 16th 1910, I purchased half bushel Bolgiano's Famous Pros
perity Yellow Dent Corn from you, and from the Corn produced from this seed I got from the Lynchburg Far, Sept. 27,28, 29 and 30th, outof $1400 prize offered,
I got $119. Str counties were represented at the Fair, and there was a great demand to know where and from whom I purchased this seed, and I could have sold
every bushel of my crop at $2.50 per bushel, but that would be dving you as well as myself a great injustice, for I feel that only just and honorable to myself I
turned them over to you. Twenty thousand people visited the Fairy daily. I have been dealing with you for twenty years and if vou wish any reference as to the
reliability and truthfulness of this statement we refer you to Mr. John Victor, President of The Peoples National Bank of Lanchburg, Va.

ear corn makes 60 to 62 pounds of shelled corn, and in hauling to market it weighs out five bushels more to the wagon load than common varieties in the

New Era Cow Peas. 43 Days After Planting
1159. New Era, This new extra early Cow Peais unquestionably
one of the most valuable varieties in cultivation. It is quicker in
growth than any other Cow Pea in cultivation: makes a very large
growth of vine and very prolific yield of Peas. The vines stand up-
right, enabling the Peas to be easily gathered. The Peas are fully
one-third smaller in size than the ordinary Cow Pea, so that it does
not require nearly as many to seed an acre. Please Write Us for

stock as they are needed and the rest allowed to remain in the
ground and rot, having a valuable fertilizing property and soil im-

ground and fed tothe stock. The vines make rich, nutritious hay. If fed to milch
cows, when ina green state, pods, vines and all, the flow of milk will be almost
doubled.
- Peas area paying crop and can be profitably planted in many ways.
First. When sown aloneabout three bushels are required to the acre. They
can be matured and threshed when dry. The yield will vary from 30 to 60 bushels
an acre.
Second. Peas and oats are frequently sown together, using 1% bushel of peas
and 2 bushels of oats anacre. By so doing a double crop can be secured. They can
be threshed at one time and readily separated in cleaning.
Third. They can be sown alone or with oats and fed green. It is surprising
the amount of fodder which is produced in this way. If sown together, the peas
should b= sown first and plowed under about four inches deep; the oats may then
be drilled in.

for sowing in the fall than if continual seedings are made from the fall-grown oats. Further north than Virginia remarkable results have been obtained
from these oats, when sown even as Jate as the first of May, and from the reports of our customers, we strongly recommend these oats to our northern and
western farmers, as we believe that they will give very much larger and better yielding crops than the spring oats usually sown in the northern and western

1135. Spring Rye. Distinct from the Winter Rye, grain of finer quality and more pro-
ductive; can be successfully grown in any latitude, and is now being largely grownin the
Middle States in place of oats, being a much more profitable crop on account of the produc-
tion of nearly four times the straw, and also as a ‘“‘catch”? crop where winter grain has

Operation
A study of the accompanying illustration shows the water
reservoir (E), the false bottom (D). Sponges through false
bottom (CC), Soil (B), and body of box (A.) In the right
hand corner of the box will be noted a tube which extends
from reservoir upward through false bottom and _ soil to top.
This is for the purpose of pouring water, when needed, into
the reservoir. The sponges draw up the water slowly and
feed the roots of the plant in exactly the right amount to
make the life and growth of the plant a certainty. DRAIN-
AGE, which is of utmost importance in plant culture, is pro-
vided by a small opening in one end immediately above the
line of the false bottom, which prevents any possibility of a
heavy downpour of rain ever drowning out the plants. It
will be noted that this plan is what is known as Sub-irrigation
and is conceded by all authorities to be the most perfect plan
ever devised for the growth of any kind of plant life.
Our method of under-watering prevents any possibility of
the surface of the soil becoming hardened or baked as in the
surface watered box or pot. This one fact saves the life of
many valuable plants.
A liberal supply of air to the roots is constantly maintained
through the sponges and the soil will always be found mealy
and loose, and moisture is always evenly distributed from top
to bottom of soil. You may think you cannot grow Flowers or
Ferns in your home, but a trial of Illinois Self-Watering Flower
Boxes will convince you that you are mistaken.

King of Horse Lawn Mowers
Horse Mower
Triple Rolls with triple pawls in each roll making the
most powerful and instantaneous driving mechanism ever
putinalawn mower. This feature maintains the motion of
the blades even in turning sharp corners and forms a
strong contrast with other double roll mowers whose
knives have no motion when turning corners. Instant
change of cut, alever beside the driver, enables him to
cut any height from the ground and to easily and quick-
ly raise the blades for stones or other obstructions with-
out stopping the horse or leaving theseat. Large Rolls
fifteen inches in diameter insuring great power and ease
of movement. Instantaneous control of Blades, a slight
movement of the small lever near the driver throws the
mower in or out of gear without stopping the horse.
Self-Oiling Journal Boxes. A very valuable improve-
ment found in no other mower. ‘They prevent cramping
of the Juornal a very common and dangerous fault found
in many horse mowers and indeed in our own until the
introduction of thisimprovement. ‘The Boxes may be
easily and cheaply adjusted or replaced. A very spacious
foot rest which prevents cramping of limbs and accidents
through the feet slipping into the revolving cutters. We
know of several persons who were injured for life in this
way.

78 Bolgiano’s Scale Destroyers, Insecticide, Etc.
Target Brand Insecticide
Target Brand Scale Destroyer, This pre-
paration is the most effective and practical means
of controlling the San Jose scale, which has yet
been found. It destroys insect life by contact—
that means it kills scales, larvae, insect eggs, and
all kinds of insects, either by absorption of the
oil, or the formation of the fatal film, which de-
stroys life by suffocation. This preparation con-
tains a combination of mineral and vegetable oils,
and is easily mixed with water. When diluted
with 19 parts of water, it represents a5 perecent,
solution of mineral oil sufficiently strong to be
fatal to insect life, and yet remain perfectly harm-
less to buds, bark and the growth of the tree. It
can be diluted with either warm or cold water,
and represents the cheapest, easiest to prepare,
and the most reliable spray for fruit growing
either on a large or small scale.

The New “Kant-Klog” Sprayer
Kant-Klog Sprayer style ‘“G’’ is operated by compressed air, with a patented Kant-Klog noz-
zle that throws nine different sizes of round or flat sprays and solid streams.
The sprayer body is made of heavy galvanized steel: Top and bottom are dome shaped; joined
to body under heavy pressure, making a complete double seam.
The air pump is made of heavy brass two inches in diameter, hose couplings are solid brass,
standard cut ends, heavily ribbed to prevent hose from slipping off.
A few seconds working of the air pump thoroughly agitates the solution and charges the
sprayer with compressed air. This being a very powerful and elastic force, will, as soon as the
thumb presses the ‘‘shut-off,’’ force out the liquid in the form of a spray or a solid continuous
stream as desired. After sprayer is charged you need not stop for anything; just walk along
from one row to another, the machine will supply sufficient spray to enable you to do the work
as fastas youcan walk. When properly charged,the tank holds 3 gallons of solution and 1 gallon
of compressed air: and two workings of the air pump will discharge the entire contents. Usedin
greenhouses, poultry houses, the garden and for all plant life including trees. The‘ Kant-Klog”
nozzle furnished with each machine without extra cost, and special attention is called to this
nozzle, as it is the only one that can be cleaned without stopping the spray or removing the
nozzle. The firstand only nozzle ever made that gives both flat and round sprays, or solid sprays.
