  Years 
  

  

  Bolgiano's 
  "Long: 
  Lost" 
  Lettuce: 
  — 
  This 
  wonderful 
  Lettuce 
  was 
  greatly 
  prized 
  by 
  the 
  leading 
  Market 
  Gardeners 
  around 
  New 
  

   York, 
  Philadelphia 
  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 
  this 
  year 
  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. 
  

  

  As 
  a 
  splendid 
  shipper, 
  "Long 
  Lost" 
  Lettuce 
  far 
  surpasses 
  every 
  other 
  Lettuce, 
  including 
  the 
  Big 
  Boston. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  wonderful 
  

   shipper 
  and 
  those 
  growers, 
  who 
  realize 
  it 
  first 
  and 
  quickly 
  grasp 
  this 
  remarkable 
  opportunity, 
  are 
  the 
  ones 
  who 
  wUl 
  profit 
  

   far 
  beyond 
  their 
  highest 
  hopes. 
  

  

  "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 
  produces 
  large, 
  extremely 
  solid, 
  compact, 
  cabbage 
  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 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  solid, 
  bright, 
  attractive 
  green. 
  It 
  is 
  never 
  spotted 
  or 
  brownish 
  in 
  any 
  part. 
  

  

  "Long 
  Lost" 
  Lettuce 
  will 
  keep 
  remarkably 
  well. 
  It 
  is 
  distinctly 
  a 
  Market 
  Gardeners 
  and 
  Southern 
  Shippers 
  Lettuce. 
  Heads 
  

   are 
  large, 
  compact, 
  globular 
  in 
  shape, 
  very 
  firm, 
  well 
  defined 
  and 
  beautifully 
  blanched. 
  

  

  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 
  lettuce 
  equal 
  to 
  it, 
  for 
  it 
  is 
  something 
  extra 
  good." 
  

  

  As 
  we 
  started 
  with 
  less 
  than 
  an 
  ounce 
  of 
  seed, 
  you 
  can 
  quick'.y 
  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.
