Bolgiano'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 tost. 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 sub- 

 stance 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 wonderful shipper and 

 those growers who realize it first and quickly grasp this remarkable oppor- 

 tunity, are the ones who will profit far beyond their highest hopes. 



"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 will keep remarkably well. It is distinctly a 

 market gardeners' and Southern shippers' Lettuce. Heads are large, com- 

 pact, 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. 



After having been tried by the Leading Market Gardeners, Truckers 

 and Farmers and found to be the most wonderful Lettuce that they have 

 ever tried, many have placed their order with us for "Long Lost" Lettuce 

 to cover their entire acreage in Lettuce for 1919. While you can readily 

 afford to place your entire acreage in this Lettuce, you cannot afford to 

 pass another season by without giving it a trial. Our supply of seed is yet 

 limited and the demand this year is very heavy. Let us have your order 

 at once so you will be sure of securing your reqiurements of "Long Lost" 

 Lettuce. 



All Noted the Superior Quality of "Long Lost" Lettuce 



On September 13, 1918, Jas. B. Gray, of Lucas Co., Ohio, wrote: " Your 

 'Long Lost' Lettuce seed gave perfect germination, and produced splendid 

 plants. It grew fine large heads of crisp brittle lettuce, and with a rich buttery 

 flavor, far superior to any other varieties on the place. The soil is good and 

 strong, fairly well manured. The season was exceedingly dry and warm, un- 

 favorable to lettuce. Our customers all noted the superior quality of our crop." 



Once Planted — Always Planted 



On August 15, 1918, H. Heinsch, of Orange Co., Fla., wrote: "I planted 

 some of Bolgiano's 'Long Lost' Lettuce seed and it turned out simply fine. 

 I expect to plant some more of it this year." 



Splendid Success With "Long Lost" Lettuce 



On October 8, 1918, Mrs. F. Lears, of Chatham Co., Ga., wrote: "Last 

 season we bought some of Bolgiano's 'Long Lost' Lettuce seed, and had splendid 

 success with it. We planted it in a very hot spell and watered it once. It 

 grew and headed very fast, many of the heads weighing 2J^ and 3 pounds. 

 Everyone remarked what fine large heads and how tender and crisp it was. 

 We were much pleased with it and are going to plant it again.
