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

 f^reatly prized by the leading market gardeners around New York, Phila- 

 delphia and Baltimore twenty-live cr thirty years ago. For some reason 

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

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

 Lettuce to the Philadelphia market gardeners. Several years ago this 

 Frenchman went away and revcr 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 suV)- 

 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 opportunity, 

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



"Long Lost" Lettucs 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 bost 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 last year 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" 

 Lette^ce to cover their entire acreage in Lettuce for 1917. 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 requirements of 

 "Long Lost" Lettuce.
