F. W. Bolgiano & Co., Lancaster County, Nebr., 



Gentlemen:— Feb. 11th, 1927. 



I think that you will be interested in my success with the 

 Bolgiano Tomato. Early in ^July when tomatoes were selling 

 at 20c 'per lb., we were having much nicer ones from our gar- 

 den. We had one of our Nebraska drouths. No rain. Hot winds. 

 The com was cooked. We had all the tomatoes that 

 we could use until frost and I canned all we needed 

 for winter. I am ordering all my seeds this 

 ' ■ T ^ spring with Bolgiano's name attached
