 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; also pro- 

 tecting the fruit from being sunburned or scalded. The I. X. L. Tomato is without a single exception one of the Leading Extremely Early Tomatoes, 

 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 returns. We stake our reputation on I. X. L. - . ,

 writing you to let you know what I think of your I. X. L. Tomato. I think 

 it is the earliest Tomato there is. I have planted it for the last eight years 

 along side of many early Tomatoes, and it always is a few days earlier than 

 the earliest and bears more fruit."

On October 22, 1918, W. A. Crowning, of Clay Co., Texas, wrote: 

 "This is the driest year I have ever seen in Clay County and I have lived here 

 for over 30 years, but I raised a crop of fine Tomatoes from the I. X. L. Toma- 

 to seed that I bought from you last April. The first of June I set out 500 

 plants. It was very dry and I cultivated them thoroughly; a little later on 

 we had light showers, during July and August. We had an abundance of 

 Tomatoes. My neighbors could not understand how I had Tomatoes when 

 there were no others for miles around. I will always plant Bolgiano's I. X. L. 

 Tomatoes."
