 F. W. Bolgiano & Co. 

 Gentlemen: 



In the spring I sent you for a sample order of your seed 

 and I am writing to tell 

 you that everything 

 grew fine and we think 

 the Bolgiano Tomatoes 

 are wonderful. We had 

 ripe tomatoes three 

 weeks before anyone in 

 the neighborhood and 

 they are so sweet and 

 solid. The Long Lost 

 Lettuce seed was the 

 best we ever had and 



made such large solid heads. The flower seeds all turned 

 out fine. We will surely send you an order next spring. 



Yours truly, 

 MRS. KITTIE RASTETTER.
