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



277. In Market Gardener's Field Tests, last season, I. X. I,. 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. E. Tomato is without a single exception the Leading Extremely 

 Early Tomato, and while many of the most intelligent 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. I,. Tomato, 

 your crop will net you big returns. We stake" Our Reputation on I. X. T,. TOMA- 

 TOES. Below we give in a concise form the most striking features of this Tomato.

 a wonder.

 the fruit to ripen so remarKably early.

 I. X. L. TOMATO.

Tlorida Special" Comato f 



The Greatest Blight Resisting Tomato on Earth. 



311. Not a single grower of Tomatoes, in Florida or in any m 



locality where blight has injured Tomato crops, should go Jt 



through this season without trying this most excellent New * 



Tomato. We call it "Florida Special" for it has been most k 



carefully bred up to resist the ravages of blight which has m 



been so discouraging to our Florida customers. It is Red in Ji 



Color, large in size, fine flavored, firm and meaty, very pro- * 



lific, and about as Early as the Earliana. It is a most excel- J 



lent shipper, in fact during our entire time of selecting and f 



breeding up the Florida Special, we took the utmost pains in * 



selecting such Tomatoes as would stand the long shipment to * 



the Northern Markets from Florida. We are confident J 



Bolgiano's Florida Special Tomato is going to make a record W 



this year, that will put it head and shoulders above any • 



Tomato that has ever been introduced, excepting the I. X. L. < 



Tomato. Price, PKts. 5c « 10c. Oz. 40c. 1/4 Lb. $1.35. J
