^^ I. X. L Tomato! 



Extremely Early-Wonderfully Prolific 



A week earlier than the Earliana. More productive than the Chalk's Jewel. As large as the Great B. B. As solid as 

 the New Century. In fact, the world's leading Extra Early Tomato. 



Bolgiano's Extremely Early Prolific 



Tomato. 



277. In Market Gardner'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 or scalded. The I. X. 1,. 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 to 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. I,. Tomato, your crop will 

 net you big returns. We stake our reputation on I. X. I,. TOMATOES. Below we give in a concise from the most striking features of this Tomato. 



1. EABLIEST. LARGEST, ABSOLUTELY SMOOTH TOMATO ON 

 EARTH. A weeK earlier Than the "Earliana," and as large as 

 the "Great B.B." 



2. A beautifnl, brilliant red color. 



3. Vines are a perfect mass of large, smooth fruit, a sing'Ie 

 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. 



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 remarKable early. 



8. It is almost liKe finding money to grow the 1. X. L. TOMATO. 



9. The largest growers tell us we cannot say too much in favor 

 of the I. X. L. Tomato.

It is a difficult question foi- lis to grow any but the very earliest Tomato with any degree of success in this locality. We find the I. X. L. very sat- 

 isfactory, it is extremely early. fruit large, good {red) celor.firm and of good quality. Asfarasmy taste personally goes, this is one of the best Early 

 Tomatoes that I have ever tested. I consider the quality much better than any pink Tomato which I have seen. Yours truly, IV. PADDOCK.
