Please send me 

 your seed catalogue 

 for 1906. I grew 

 some I. X. L. and 

 Greater Baltimore 

 tomatoes from your 

 seed last year, and 

 was delighted with 

 them.

Your I. X. L. 

 Tomato was the best 

 I have ever had. 

 My neighbors had 

 plants up when I 

 put down my hot bed, 

 but I had tomatoes 

 some time before 

 they had theirs. 



Yours truly,

T had 6,000 of 

 your I. X. L. 

 Tomato plants last 

 year and they were 

 as fine as silk.

BOLGIANO'S EXTREMELY EARLY PROLIFIC I- X. L. TOMATO. 



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 a 

 little more vine and leaves than the Wealthy Tomato, thus protecting the blossoms from being easily knocked off, by heavy rains or winds; also 

 protecting the fruit from being sunburned oi scalded. The I. X. I/. Tomato is without a single 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 grown it yet. 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 returns. We stake Our Reputation on I. X. I,. TOMATOES. Below we give in a concise form the most striking features of this Tomato 



i 



1. EARLIEST, LARGEST, ABSOLUTELY SMOOTH TOMATO 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 1/2 bushel. 



4. Fruit is extremely early, enormously abundant and ripens 

 all at once. 



5. Vines are very compact and can be placed two feet apart in 

 three foot rows. 



1 can conscientiously say your I. X. L. Tomato has noequalforearliness, 

 productiveness and solidity. I just started mine in the field when my 

 neighbors, were large and blooming; but the I. X. L. came a few days 

 ahead of his in maturing shipping fruit, and held out the longest. It 

 certainly was surprising. CHRISTIAN PETER, Winter Garden, Fla. 



Your I. X. L. Tomatoes are all you claim for them, which is saying a 

 good deal. In fact, all the seed I bought of you have produced exception- 

 ally well, and I am much pleased with the results. 



J. C. JENKINS, Pomonkey, Md. 



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



7. The absence of unnecessary leaves permits all the fruit to 

 ripen so remarkably early. 



8. It is almost liKe finding* money to grow the I. X. L. TOMATO. 



9. The Larg'est growers tell us we cannot say too much in favor 

 of the I. X. L. Tomato. 



Price, PKt. 10c ® 25c. 1/2 Oz. 50c. 1 Oz. 75c. 2 Ozs. $1.25. 1/4 Lb. 

 $2.50. I Lb. $8. 



From 300 plants of your I. X. L. Tomatoes, I took 60 baskets to market, 

 used 30 baskets in my home and there are from 30 to 40 baskets yet on the 

 vines. Each plant yielded lVz pecks or more. The tomatoes are so solid it 

 is like cutting a piece of meat and many weigh from 1% to 2 lbs. each. 



WM. CLA USS, Glen Burnie, Md., Anne Arundel Co. 



I had about 2 Acres of your I. X. L. Tomatoes, they yielded l A bushel 

 to the vine and were the best large size early tomatoes I have ever grown
