Everybody Wants 



Them 



On Nov. 21. 1912, 

 Mr, J. R. Rogers of 

 Anderson Co., Tex. 

 writes: "I had one 

 acre this stmig 

 planted i n Bolgi- 

 ano's I. X. L. To- 

 mato' t he v were two 

 weeks ahead of any 

 other variety and 

 were so fine that 

 everybody around 

 Jure won^t plant 

 any thins 'text year 

 but the I. X. L. To- 

 mato.' 



Bolgiano's I. X. L. Tomato. Extremely Early, Wonderfully Prolific 



A week earJicr than the Earliana. More productive than the Chalk's Jewel. As large as the Gnat B. B, 

 AS solid as the IVew Century. In fact. One of the ll'orld's Leading Extremely Early Tonialo. 

 277. In Market Gardener's Field Tests, I. X. L. Tomato proved to be a week to ten days earlier than the Spark's Earliana, with an abundance of 

 Fruit larger and more prolific than Chalk's Jewel, in fact, any number of specimens could be found as large as the Great B. B. Tomato. It has little 

 more vine and leaves than the Wealthy Tomato, thus protecting" the blossoms from being easily knocked off by heavy rains or winds: al.so protecting 

 the fruit from bein? sunburned or scalded. The I. X. 1,. Tomato is without a sing'le exception the Leading Extremely Early Tomato, and while 

 many of the most experienced Tomato growers tell us we cannot say too much in favor of this excellent Early Tomato, there are many who have not 

 yet grown it. To them, we say again, do not experiment with it but plant your entire early crop in I. X. L,. Tomato, Your crop will net you big re- 

 turns. We stake our reputation on I. X. L. 



1. One of the Earliest, Largest, absolutely smooth Tomatoes on Earth. A 

 week earlier than the "Earliana," and as large as the "Great B. B." 



2. A beautiful, brilliant red color. 



3. Vines are a perfect mass of large, smooth fruit, a single plant yielding 

 '4 bushel. 



4. Fruit is extremely early, enormously abundant, ripens all at once. 



5. Vines compact and can be placed two feet apart in three foot rows. 



6. As an extremely early prolific stem setter it is a wonder.

On June 19th, 1912, Mr. C. F. Masterson, of Greenville Co., Va., writes: 

 I am today picking ripe Tomatoes of the Tomato seed I got of yon. this 

 spring of Bolgiano's Famous/. X. L., just forty-seven days from the time 

 I put them in the field until I had ripe ones. 



Florida— I. X. L. Certainly Were Fine

 ing early varieties oj the most prominent seed Growers in the country,! 

 amforced to the conclusion that the I. X. L. is the earliest, smoothest, most 

 prolific and best flavored Tonialo grown. Its merits cannot be exaggerated."

 have been raising Tomatoes for the last 12 years and I have yiever Jiad such

 ably early.

Important— Read These Two Letters 



On Nov. 3rd , 1913, Mr. Gore Enn is if Kent County, Del., wrote: " Your 

 I. X. L. Tomato is as fine as any one would want to grow and I think I 

 could not praise it up too much. Our first setting the frost killed and then 

 we reset — tJiey seemed to stand still for two loeeks — then they began to grow 

 and we picked the first tomatoes the first of July and from then oti U7itil 

 frost." 



This is the Other One

 fine crop of your I. X. L. Tomatoes last year although we had tlie worst 

 drouth I ever experienced. Nad my first setting froze dozvn. I reset again 

 and it turned cold again, the plants stoodseetning to gobackfortwoweeks, 

 and then started to grow, then we had a long bad drouth for weeks, never- 

 theless, these tomatoes ?nade mc more money than any I ever raised."

 months' dry weather last season when all others failed. I.X. L. lield up 

 its head and bore large, smooth Tomatoes nntil killed by frost." 

 About 800 Crates To The Acre 

 Mr. R. E. Athey. of Putnam Co.. Fla., writes as follows: " The pound oJ 

 I. X. L. Tomato Seed which 1 bought J j-om vou a year ago was planted at 

 Yiana. Arizona, and made the best crop of Tomatoes and the earliest in 

 that section. The fruit was even sized, true to shape and color and shipped 

 belter than any other variety. It made 800 crates on a little more than one 

 acre. I consider the I . X. L. the best early market variety."
