FBANK W. BOIiQIAITO President Dear Folks: In no line of human endeavor is the accumulated experience acquired with the passing years of more value than in the growing and distributing of seeds. It was in 1818 that Samuel Ault, my great grandfather, made his first small beginning in the seed business. After him came John Bolgiano my grandfather and Joseph A. Bolgiano my father, all having one object in life, which was to make the house of Bolgiano the leaders in the seed business. Known from coast to coast, from north to south, in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America and the islands of the sea, the ambition of my forefathers has been realized. During the war period, my fellow seedsmen urged me to accept the presidency of the Amer- ican Seed Trade Association which I did for two years, feeling that this position was a patriotic duty to my Country. When other businesses were being regulated, the Department of Agriculture, seeing the vast importance of our business, were almost in constant conference with me to stimulate the pro- duction and conservation of food. I was requested to act for one dollar per year by the Secretary of Agriculture in an advisory position. Believe me when I tell you I had all of a man's job. The re- sults speak for themselves. But 1 am not willing to stop there. I have devoted a life time to the work, starting as a boy on a farm and continuing through various trials and hardships until the present time, with but one idea always and ever present at all times, Bolgiano's "Seeds that Succeed. " I have associated with me, men trained in every department as specialists so as to have their valued advice. TTien, I have given my son Charles W. Bolgiano, a very special training for the future continuance of the large bus- iness already built
