TO BRING YOU 
Nine million acres 1S a mighty big farm even in America. 
Nine million acres of the fertile Sacramento Valley was the 
otential planting ground of Felice Lagomarsino in the year 
1870 when, as 4 producer of quality vegetable seed which 
he marketed to his neighbors, he established a business that 
today is one of the leading wholesale seed establishments © 
western United States. Felice Lagomarsino established in 
those early years, through patient observation and experi- 
ment, through continual selection in his seed plots and fields, 
outstanding vegetable seed strains. Today the sons of Felice 
Lagomarsino—known) personally alike to the wholesale seed 
trade, to the gardeners of the Sacramento area, and to the 
dirt-farmers of the Sacramento Valley—carry on the found- 
er’s aims with careful, thorough proprietor-supervision of each 
and every field crop. 

Each year more of the fertile areas of this famous valley are 
planted to Lago strains of vegetable seed, and each year this 
valley, which 1s becoming an accepted vegetable seed plant- 
ing ground, produces more and more of the seed which in this 
year and the years ahead, must replant an earth ravaged by 
War. Experts by training and steeped in field experience, 
the brother members of F. Lagomarsino & Sons are bringing 
to their work of seed crop supervision, the watchfulness an 
care which is their part in maintaining the freedom of lite 
and liberty this nation seeks to preserve today.
