For Farmers, Truckers, and
Lovers Of Flowers

Way back in the early years of the
United States there was founded in
Baltimore by an honorable old gentle
man (who had learned his trade in Eng
land) an establishment which has not
only reflected credit to Baltimore but
has also been pride to the entire State.
He founded the well known Seed House
of j. Bolgiano & Son. This was ninety
years ago andhe had very little capital
other than an earnest purpose and a
capacity for hard work. To-day j. Boil
giano & Son are one of the leading Seed
Houses in the United States and in
these many years they have accumulat-
ed vast amount Of experience and
knowledge which we think entities them
to be considered authorities on matters
pertaining to the growth of the choicest
varieties of Flowers and Vegetables.
Their commercial success is due large
ly to thorough understanding of this
simple principle "Men do not gather
Figs from Thistles." In the great COM
petition that exists in these modern
days, those only succeed who are worthy
of public confidence. They will not sac
rifice their reputation for a temporary
gain. In their vast growing operations
they are convinced of the necessity of
sowing rightly in order that they may
reap abundantly; of the uselessness of
trusting to luck AS a Seed House they
have always aimed to give full value
for every dollor they have received and
as a result their trade has increased far
beyond their highest hopes. So you
can see house established on such
principles is worthy ofsyour confidence
and your trade.
j. Bolgiano & Sons catalogue for 1908
has just been published and besides be-
ing one of the most attractive catalogues
we have ever examined 1t is full of prac-
ticul suggestions and has many new
vegetables illustrated, which will, we
believe be profitable for our truckers to
grow.
In their Field Seed Department for
quality of Clover and Grass Seeds they
lead the State, often both the Agricul-
tural Department at Washington and
our own State Agricultural College at
College Park make purchases of these
important items from them.
Their Flower Seeds are produced by
the Best Growers of Flower Seed in
the world and they claim therefore that
if you want seed that will grow and
produce beautiful Flowers you should
secure your Flower Seeds from them.
In Dahlia. Gladiolas. Lily Bulbs. Etc.

critical Trade.
Their Self Watering PorchBoxes should
receive your careful attention for all
through the North & West people every
where have had better results with
their Flowers by using these boxes than

first class wooden box and will last ten
times as long.
Their new forcing House Plant Fer
tilizers called plant Blood is also
used extensively by the Agricultural
Dept. at Washington. This Fertilizer
