LONG LOST lETTTTCE. 

 The Jewel Recovered. 



On June 8, 1915, Mr. Carl Hoffaoker, 

 of Union Co., N. J., writes: "Although 

 weather conditions were not exactly fa- 

 vorable, your 'Long Lost' lettuce seed 

 produced moBt solid, tender, white heads, 

 proving it a 'Jewel recovered,' and giving 

 more satisfaction than any other variety 

 grown." 



On July 10, 1915, Mr, A, E. Steffa, of 

 Tanui Co., Iowa, writes: "In a trial of 

 27 varieties of Lettuce, your 'Long Lost' 

 Lettuce stood at the head for solidity of 

 head and long-standing, also was the 

 most uniform," 



On Aug. .3, 1915, Ifr, John J. Siokleg, 

 of Monmouth Co., N. J., writes: "Your 

 Long Lost* Lettuce Is the best I ever 

 saw. Got Big Boston beat a mile. Re- 

 fused to take one dollar a head for it. 

 I grow fancy Lettuce." 



On June 7, 1915, Mr. Henry Tubbs, of 

 New Haven Co., Conn,, writes: "Your 

 •Long Lost' lettuce is all O. K., and 

 next Spring I shall get all my seeds from 

 you." 



On June 21, 1915, XeMTt. Oibney Bros., 

 of Marion Co., Mo., write: "We set out 

 a fine lot of transplanted 'Long Lost' 

 I/ettuce plants. They grew fine and 

 made a fine lot of heads, very large and 

 creamy. We think it a fine Lettuce and 

 will try It again this Fall." 



On June 19, 1915. Mr. Wm. B. HIU, of 

 Clermont Co., Ohio, writes: "I gave your 

 •Long Lost' Lettuce seed an outdoor test 

 and must say it is fine. Can't be beat. 

 But it has been so awfully wet here. 

 Finest flavored, better than I ever ate. 

 All who have eaten it pronounced it fine. 

 Will give it a better trial next year. 

 Will get it out earlier." 



On Oct. 8, 1915, Mr, George E. Bradley, 

 of Aroostook Co., Maine, writes: "The 

 'Long Ix)8t' Lettuce seed I bought of you 

 last Spring has done the best I ever had 

 any Lettuce do, both in greenhouse and 

 garden." 



LONG LOST LETTUCE. 

 The Jewel Recovered. 



As a splendid shipper, "Long Lost" 

 Lettuce far sui-passes every other Let- 

 tuce, including the Big Boston. 



As we started with less than an ounce 

 of seed, you can quickly realize the 

 amount of seed We have produced this 

 year is very limited. We therefore urge 

 you to send us your orders immediately 

 if you want to grow the "Long Lost" 

 Lettuce this season. 



The famous Tomato grower, John Baer, 

 says "Long Lost" Lettuce is the very 

 . best Lettuce the market gardeners ever 

 knew. There has never been any Let- 

 tuce equal to it, for it Is something ex 

 tra good. 



On June 21, 1915, Mr, I. R. Schnebly 

 of Grundy Co,, Iowa, writes: "llie 'Long 

 Lost' Lettuce seed grew fine. It is very 

 handsome in appearance, excellent flavor 

 and the most valuable variety I have 

 ever grown." 



On June 26, 1915, Mr, Ben H. Kegly. 

 of Cecil Co., Md., writes: "I received 

 an order of 'Long Lost' Lettuce seed 

 from you early In the Spring and it has 

 proven to be the most wonderful Lettuce 

 I have ever grown." 



On July 24, 1915, Mr. G. Ralph Laigh- 

 ton, of Rockingham Co., N, H,, writes: 

 "I take pleasure in saying that your 

 'Long Lost' I/Cttuce has done splendidly 

 with me this season. The heads were 

 very large, solid and crisp, and the flavor 

 excellent. I have another crop of 'Long 

 Loaf Lettuce that will be maturing soon 

 and have also sown seed for a late crop. 

 I shall continue cultivation of the 'Lone 

 Lost.' " 



On June 7, 1915, Mr. S. W, Carman, 

 of Lancaster Co,, Pa,, writes: "In re- 

 gard to your 'Long Lost' Lettuce, there 

 is none better or as good. It beats anv 

 I ever bad in quantity and nice, tendr'r 

 heads. Flavor can't be beat." 



On June 19, 1915, Messrs. Vogt Bros., 

 of Baltimore Co., Md., wrote: "The 

 'Lone Lost' Lettuce is the very best 

 heading Lettuce we have ever raised, and 

 will stand the heat, as heads will burst 

 open before going to seed. We do not 

 want anything any better." 



On June 15, 1915, Mr. Wm. Homer, 

 of Baltimore Co., Md.. writer: '-TIic 

 'rx)ng Lost' I>'ttuoe which I purcliase<i 

 from you early this Spring is all that 

 it is claimed by your firm. I like it so 

 well I purchased some more. I certainly 

 recommend It to market gardeners." 



On June 19, 1915, Mr. Crii Gebh, of 

 Baltimore Co., Md., writes: "The 'Long 

 Lost' Lettuce turned out for me Just as 

 it is advertised. 1 want no bettor." 



On Aug. 9, 1915, Mr, Henry Seymour, 

 of Vanderburg Co., Ind., writes: "I have 

 words of praise for your 'Long Lost' I>et- 

 tuoe. First, it stands drought better 

 than any other kind. Second, it matures 

 quicker and makes larger heads In loss 

 time than any lettuce I know of. Third, 

 it Is tender, crisp and of a very flue 

 flavor." 



On June 14, 1915, Mr. John Trahandt, 

 Wholesale Market Gardener, of Balti- 

 more Co., Md., writes: "Bolgiano's 

 'Long Lost' Lettuce is without doubt the 

 best Lettuce I have ever raised."
