New *'Clory" Tomato 



One Cluster with II Fruit Weighing II Pounds 



On August 22, 1917. Mr. John Scott. Florist. Midison Co.. Ala., wrote: 

 "/ planted Bolgiino's New 'Glory' Tomato Seed, and sold some of the plants 

 to my customers, in 2}2-lnch pots, and retained a few I needed for my own 

 planting. The weather conditions were normal, but I never have heard so 

 many nice things said about a tomato in my life. One of my customers showed 

 in the window of a drug store up-town, one cluster with eleven fruit, the whole 

 weighing 11 pounds. My plants were stripped to a bare cane by one of the 

 worst hail storms this section ever had. and were given up for gone. In less 

 than a week strong breaks from the eyes, near the ground, were over a fool long, 

 the strongest of these were staked up. and so vigorous was the gronvth, and so 

 quickly did they ripe), that my first fruits brought me 50 cents per dozen. 

 In all my twenty years in the business, J never saw tomato plants that were 

 so perfect in every iray. It is so smooth and even in shape, never cracks and 

 blisters, ripens evenly all over, and a tremendous yielder. No disease. It 

 is all you claim for it, and then some." 



Bearing Fruit — Others Dead in Alabama 



On August 1, I'tlG, Mr. Julius Schuadelbach, of Mobile Co., Ala., 

 wrote: "The Glory Tomato is certainly a fine kind. It did splendid under 

 very trying conditions. Tile Spring was cold and dry and the plants had to 

 stay in the beds longer than ivas good, but the Glory came out all right. I lis 

 a vigorous and healthy grower and is still green while Bonny Best and other 

 kinds in the same patch are dead. Its fruit is fine. Our soil is very poor 

 and to make a crop of any kind, plenty of manure or fertilizer must be used. 

 To get results from fertilizers of any kind, you have to have enough moisture 

 to make it effective. This ive lack and, in fact, need it yet. In spite of the 

 drawback, the Glory made good crop. In size it was equal of any other, and 

 it was a handsitme color and all good shape. In fact it is a Nunifjer 1 market 

 gardener's Tomato." 



The Most Perfect Tomato in South Carolina 



On SeptemherJO, 1917. Mr. C. W. Templelon. of Greenville Co., S. C. 

 ivroie: "Bolgiano's New 'Glory' Tomato has produced the most perfect To- 

 matoes I have ever seen in my life, large, deep red, smooth as an apple, wilh 

 but few seed. They are simply perfection. I am glad to be able to write 

 you this testimony of their excellence." 



The^Chief Topic of Conversation in Tennessee 



On August 7, 1917, Mr. J. M. Atchley, of Migs Co.. Tenn.. wrote: 

 "Early last Spring I planted some of Bolgiano's Neu^ 'Glory' Tomato seed, 

 and gave them a thorough test in this section. They have not only been pro- 

 nounced the finest Tomatoes that tcere ever grown in this community, but have 

 also become the chief topic of conversat ion among the gardeners in this neigh- 

 borhood." 



Pleased with New "Glory" in North Carolina 



On August 25. 1917. Mr. A. J. Cheek, of Vance Co., N. C., wrote: 

 "The New 'Glory' Tomato seed you sent me gave entire satisfaction. They 

 are the largest and earliest Tomatoes I have ever seen. Earlier and nearly 

 twice as large as Earliana, and as smooth as an apple. They were planted 

 in open ground about 1st of May, began ripening 1st of June, and vines are 

 now loaded with targe fruit. We had rain here for 25 days in succession, 

 beginning with July isl. We want more New 'Glory' next year," 



Struck the Key-Note on the Tomato for Florida 



On August 1. 1917. Mr. /?. F. Bigdon, of Putnam Co., Fla., icrole: "In 

 regard to Bolgiano's New 'Glory' Tomato Seed I must say that you have 

 struck the key-note on the Tomato for Florida. I have never grown finer than 

 they are and under the most adverse circumstances. Too much rain and 

 fearful hot sun, and when all my other varieties are dead from heat and rain, 

 the New 'Glory' is alive and doing fine, I shall plant largely of your New 

 'Glory' next season." 



Excellent Production 



New "Glory" Tomato 



ILe 



in Kansas 



On August 6, 1917, Mr. J. P. W. Mornsch. of Wy- 

 andotte Co., Kans., icrote: "Bolgiano's New 'Glory' 

 Tomatoes are just fine and have done excellent with the 

 dry season we have had. We haven't had any rain for six 

 weeks, and with a hot icind blowing. To begin with this 

 Spring, it teas awfully hot and we had much trouble in 

 getting our plot planted. The Neiv 'Glory' Tomato has 

 held its foliage belter than any of the other kinds, and has 

 produced nice large fruit. It is the best Tomato we planted 

 this year." 



New "Glory" Tomato "Saved the Day" 



On September 18. 1917, Mr. J. Charles Eichner, 

 Truck Grower of Allegany Co., Md., wrote: "In regard 

 to Bolgiano's Neiv 'Glory' Tomato Seed, I can say had it 

 Twt been for the Neiv 'Glory' Tomato I would have been 

 far short in the Tomato crop. It excelled any Tomato I 

 have ever had, both in perfectness, size and guantity, and 

 by showing how well I liked it, will order more this 

 coming season." 



New "Glory" Tomato 



We Are Proud Of It 



On July 3, 1917, Mr. Henry A. Lund, of Harrison Co., Miss., wrote: 

 •'/ wish to report on your 'Glory' Tomato. Sown after the freeze of February 

 1st, ripe Tomatoes were picked 11th of May. At this dale they are in full 

 bearing still and no rain to speak of in seventy days. Early Corn is all lost 

 from the drought. Worst drought I ever saw here, but your 'Glory' Tomato 

 does not notice it. Not a sign of blight, not a sign of dry rot on 'Glory,' and 

 all others of the five different kinds which I planted have grown badly. Your 

 'Glory' Tomato is very well named. Long may it last. A Tomato that will 

 go through such a season as this here, where we can hardlv keep our sweet 

 potatoes alive, is a ' cracker jack' and you may be proud of it." 

 By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them 



On July 25, 1917, Mr. S. A. Strickler. of Culpepcr Co., Va., wrote: 

 "I planted New 'Glory,' Earliana and Bed Pick. The plants were draicn 

 promiscuously from the bed and rom the rush cf work gave no special attention 

 to the new Tomato until the fruit began to ripen, when a plant here and there 

 ripened up, its fruit two weeks ahead and I soon noticed that the Tomato was 

 not the Earliana, and I recalled I nad sown seed of the new variety. Fruit 

 teas so much earlier, larger and smoother and the difference in selling fruit 

 ivas 2 to 1 in favor of the New 'Glory.' Will state further that first plants set 

 out were of Earliana given me by a neighbor and set out several days earlier 

 than those from my own bed. I am so favorably impressed icith the Tomato 

 I shall plant no other for next season except late variety to follow. I have been 

 partial to Earliana for several years, but think the Neiv 'Glory' a better one 

 in every respect. All plants were given same attention, veil worked and the 

 season has been favorable. No plants have shown any disease tendency. I 

 notice also that the growth of foliage is better on the New 'Glory' and less tend- 

 ency, none in fact, to sun scald, a trouble that I have had with other Tomatoes. 

 I feel safe in endorsing any clai-ns you make for this new Tomato. I have 

 tried about all of them and shall discard all other Tomatoes for it," 

 Produced One-Third More than Globe in Florida 



On July 13, 1917, Mr. H. I. Graham, of Pasco Co., Fla., wrote: "I 

 planted Bolgiano's New 'Glory' Tomatoe Seed last Spring and wish to say I 

 am very much pleased with it. We have had a very dry Spring here: for five 

 weeks we did not get a rain, but we have a fine crop of New 'Glory,' fully a 

 a third more than the Globe, the leading variety planted here, and the fruit is 

 more uniform in size than any I ever saw. All run fancy. The quality 

 is splendid for such a heavy bearing variety." 



Thrives When Other Fails 



On July 2^, 1917, Mr. J. F. Miller, of De Soto Co., Fla., wrote: "This 

 year has been a very bad year on the Florida truckers. It was cold and dry 

 daring the Winter and Spring. We planted Bolgiano's Netv 'Glory' Tomato, 

 also planted about the same amount of Livingston's Globe. They both came 

 up and did fine, until we had a heavy frost or freeze. The Livingston's did 

 not come out any more, but the 'Glory' came out and grew off nicely. Although 

 it was very dry. I don't think we had any rain between the two freezes, but it 

 made a wonderful growth and had a finer fruit than I ever saw. I think it 

 is one of the most prolific bearers there is." 



Green and Flourishing — Other Varieties Dead 



On August 21. 1917, Mrs. H. P. McPherson, of Moore Co., N. C., 

 icrote: "I divided the New 'Glory' Tomato Seed which you sent me with 

 several of my friends, and we are all highly pleased with them. We have 

 never raised a Tomato that has given as much general satisfaction. We had 

 the largest yield we have ever had. and not one of the vines showed will. We 

 had other varieties planted near them that dried up and died during the dry 

 spell in (he Summer, but Bolgiano's New 'Glory' remained green and flour- 

 ishing. They commenced ripening tlie latter pari of June — it is now the last 

 u'cekof August — andthey are still bearing andare coveredwilh young branches 

 full of green Tomatoes and blooms."
