Boigiano's "Long Lost" Lettuce. This wonderful Lettuce was 

 greatly prized by the leading market gardeners around New York, Phila- 

 delphia and Baltimore twenty-five or thirty years ago. For some reason 

 unknown it was lost. More recently it was sold by an unusual Frenchman, 

 who came around with a sack of seed on his back selling this wonderful 

 Lettuce to the Philadelphia market gardeners. Several years ago this 

 Frenchman went away and never returned. Fortunately, through our good 

 friend, Mr. Oliver H. Ott, of Philadelphia, we secured a very few seed of 

 this wonderful Lettuce and, by infinite pains, care and attention, we have 

 grown enough seed of the "Long Lost" Lettuce to supply our wide- 

 awake market gardeners, friends and customers, provided they order 

 quickly before our limited supply of seed is exhausted. 



"Long Lost" Lettuce is decidedly buttery in flavor, sweet, 

 tender, with both finest shipping and eating qualities. Leaves 

 are of much substance and not easily torn. 



"Long Lost" Lettuce is of a solid, bright, attractive green. 

 It is never spotted or brownish in any part. 



As a splendid shipper "Long Lost" Lettuce far surpasses 

 every other Lettuce, including the Big Boston. It is a won- 

 derful shipper and those growers who realize it first and 

 quickly grasp this remarkable opportunity, are the ones who 

 will profit far beyond their highest hopes. 



"Long Lost" Lettuce produces large, extremely solid, com- 

 pact, ceibbage heads. It is a reliable, sure header and is very 

 hardy. It will Winter over better than Big Boston Lettuce. 

 It stands the cold. 



"Long Lost" Lettuce will keep remarkably well. It is 

 distinctly a market gardeners' and Southern shippers' Lettuce. 



V4 Lb. $1.50. Vz Lb. $2.75. Lb. $5.00. Postpaid 

 Heads are large, compact, globular in shape, very firm, well 

 defined and beautifully blanched.
