Bolgiano's "Glory" Tomato 



Pretty as a Picture — Without a Blemish 



'Glory" Tomato 



E3" FOR EXACT SIZE AND COLOR, SEE 

 FRONT COVER 



The first year we introduced Bolgiano's "Glory" 

 Tomato we were deluged with trial orders from all 

 over America. Each year since the "Harvest of Merit" 

 continues. Orders from far and near, orders from 

 those who gave it a trial in a small way, orders from 

 those who had seen it grow in their neighbors' fields, 

 orders from those who had been told by their friends 

 of the wonderful merits of this most wonderful Tomato. 

 All voicing the marvelous results and praising it as 

 the greatest achievement in the Vegetable Kingdom. 

 We could fill this book with testimonials just from 

 the results of the 1918 harvest. You cannot afford 

 not to give Bolgiano's "Glory" Tomato a trial. Send 

 us your order early. Demand will be very heavy, 

 and it being an almost seedless Tomato, seed will 

 always be short.

Bolgiano's "Glory" Tomato Can Beat the World on Tomatoes 



On October 20, i918, Mr. Gone Ennis, of Kent Co., Del, wrote: "I wish 

 to stale that I cannot speak too highly of the Bolgiano's New 'Glory'' Tomato 

 Seed that I bought of you. I set them out the last of April and we had a 

 terrific hail storm about that time, and it cut our plants so that I did not think 

 they would amount to anything. I straightened them out the best I could and 

 cut out the dead leaves, thinking my work would be in vain. On the 2nd of 

 July I began to pick Tomatoes off those vines, and at that time I could count 

 108 Tomatoes on one vine. They are as pretty as the picture on the front of 

 your catalogue. One hundred and four would fill a regular tomato basket. 

 I used to think your John Baer were A-l, but now I think your 'Glory' Toma- 

 toes can beat the world on Tomatoes. I cannot praise them loo highly and I 

 shall grow them until you prove to me that you have another Tomato that will 

 beat ii. The fruit was uniform in size, perfect as an apple, and ripened 

 without fe crack right up to the stent. I sold my Tomatoes at the stores at 

 3 cents more on the quart than the Earlianas brought. I picked Tomatoes as 

 long as two killing frosts, and then there were more on the vines. Long may 

 it last, the 'Glory' Tomato!" 



A Wonder in New York 



On October 28, 1918, Wm. H. Seibert, of Westchester Co., N. Y., wrote: 

 "Last January I ordered some of your New 'Glory' Tomato Seed which proved 

 to be a wonder, true to name, New 'Glory.' Every customer that got some of 

 the plants praised them very highly as a wonderful perfect fruit, and I cer- 

 tainly must have more of them next season." 



A Fine Crop of "Glories" in Bad Season in Alabama 



On October 29, 1918, W. J. Chestnut, of Baldwin Co., Ala., wrote: "I 

 wish to say that I planted the Bolgiano's New 'Glory' Tomato Seed purchased 

 from you. It was very dry and I didn't transplant them until the latter part 

 of April. I transplanted them and they grew off fine. About the time they 

 began to bear good it turned dry again, but they yielded more than I ever 

 raised before and had the best flavor I ever tasted. You can use this for 

 reference if you want to." 



Would Not Do Without "Glories" in Missouri 



On October 4, 1918, Stephen J. Hilt, of Marion Co., Mo., wrote: "I 

 tried your 'Glory' Tomato this year and it is certainly a good one. It is a 

 good yielder and a fine, large, smooth Tomato. We had a dry season, but 

 this Tomato stood the drought fine until the frost came. I began picking 

 'Glory' Tomato the last week in June and picked them until frost. I would 

 not do without them. I will grow them next year." 



"Glory" Proved Its Worth in Indiana 



On November 7, 1918, Caar Canning Co., of Jay Co., Ind., wrote: 

 "Last Spring we purchased some of your New 'Glory' "tomato Seed and beg 

 to advise that they have proven all and more than you claim for them. The 

 fruit is large, smooth and ripens very even. The yield was exceptionally good, 

 having plants that had from 8 to 10 pounds of nice perfect Tomatoes at one 

 picking. They are also about two or three weeks earlier than the Baltimore 

 and bear up through the season, my vines having blooms until the middle of 

 October. Please advise your price for 5 pounds of seed, as we would like 

 lo have a few acres set with them next year for canning." 



Cleared $490. 00 off One-Half Acre of "Glories" 



On September 25, 1918, T. R. Carulhers, of Sumter Co., Fla., wrote: 

 "I beg to stale that the New 'Glory' Tomato Seed I bought from you last 

 January brought splendid results. I planted the seed the 12th of February, 

 but the ground was still chilled from the cool weather we had and they did not 

 start off like I would have liked, but I had them on a medium heavy soil and 

 they came out quickly, and by the 1st of May I had sold $260.00 worth off the 

 one-half acre. I went in there and got 90 more carriers which brought $285.00, 

 the price having dropped meanwhile, but all told, labor, fertilizer, seeds and 

 other incidentals, I cleared $490.00." 



"Glory" Stood the Test in West Virginia 



On October 23, 1918, Rolhwell $ Company, of Berkeley Co., W. Va., 

 wrote: "We wish to stale that the New 'Glory' Tomato Seed turend out as 

 described. In addition, it stood the lest of the terrific heat of last Summer. 

 A 11 the other brands of Tomatoes wre scalded and soon rotted — in fact, they 

 became soft a few hours after, but the New 'Glory' did not seem lo mind the 

 heat, not even the side that was turned to the sun. We can vouch for this 

 brand and can give it first place as a grower and producer of fine-flavored 

 fruit." 



"Glory" the Admiration of Everyone 



On October 28, 1918, Mr. C. H. Oliver, of Broome Co., 7v\ Y., wrote: 

 "As regards Bolgiano's New 'Glory' Tomato Seed, I wish lo say that I started 

 this seed in good rich dirt about St. Patrick's Day. I had good success with 

 the plants. I rushed them a little at nearly time for selling in ground. My 

 Tomatoes were the admiration of everyone, round as an apple, scarcely any 

 seed, just meat, and firm as could be. Cannot say just how many we had, 

 but the vines were full of clusters and very delicious. You may give anyone 

 my name and address for recommendation." 



Plenty "Glories" When Others All Gone in Florida 



On November 5, 1918, H. G. Griffin, of Wauchula Co., Fla., wrote: 

 "We planted about one-fourth acre in Bolgiano's New 'Glory' Tomato Seed 

 for home use in the Spring. We had a very good season and they made a 

 remarkable smooth and firm Tomato. They were of an exceptionally fine 

 flavor, and when all other Tomatoes were gone we still had plenty of them and 

 fine healthy-looking vines. Another fine feature about them was that they 

 never crack open like all other Tomatoes do when too much rain comes. We 

 had lots of rain and I never saw a single one that was cracked or bursted." 



Surpassed All Others in Ohio 



On November 8, 1918, S. Newark, of Mahoning Co., Ohio, wrote: "Bol- 

 giano's New 'Glory' Tomato Seed proved all and more than you represented 

 it lo be. When we transplanted them into the open ground they were no thicker 

 than a lead pencil owing lo the fact that they were planted too thick, and we 

 had no time to transplant them into a cold frame. After they were trans- 

 planted, they made a quick growth in spite of the severe drought, and in six 

 weeks they had surpassed all the other Tomatoes in size and number of Toma- 

 toes to the plant. Just after the Tomatoes had begun to ripen it began lo 

 rain almost daily; all our Tomatoes slopped ripening and began to crack 

 open and rot instead, with the exception of the New 'Glory,' which proved lo 

 be the nicest and most desirable Tomato in our market."

"Glory" Tomato 



"Glory" Paid no Attention to Weather 

 Conditions in Tennessee 



On October 23, 1918, P. H. Boring, of Washington 

 Co., Tenn., wrote: "We had a powerful hot and dry 

 season, but the New 'Glory' Tomato paid no attention 

 to the season conditions. They are the finest and best 

 of all. We have plenty of green Tomatoes on the vines 

 now, October 24th, and all the ripe Tomatoes that we can 

 use. They are the best we have ever grown." 



No Better Tomato Than "Glory" 



On November 21, 1918, Mr. Mark Cali, of Rich- 

 mond Co., N. Y., wrote: "In regard to Bolgiano's New 

 'Glory' Tomato, wish to say that it is a very fine Tomato 

 and comes in a nice large shape about % lo 1)4 pounds 

 apiece and is seedless. It is from 3% to 5 inches in 

 diameter. I am glad to praise such a good Tomato. I 

 am going to put about 40,000 or 60,000 plants out myself. 

 We had a very dry season. I do not think there is a 

 better Tomato than the New 'Glory.' "
