Bolgiano's I. X. L. Tomato 



After Twelve Years' 



Trial 



in Virginia 



On August 25. 1917. 

 Mr. J. B. Taylor, of 

 Alleghany Co., Va., 

 wrote: "As regards 

 Bolgiano's I. X. L. 

 Tomatoes, you will 

 find that I have bought 

 the I. X. L. seed from 

 you for 12 years, and 

 have not m issed a year. 

 They are all 0. K. 

 in every respect, yield 

 more and larger To- 

 mafoes than any thai 

 I have ever tried." 



Wonderfully 

 Prolific 



A Week Earlier Than Earliana. More Productive Than Chalk's Jewel 



As Large as the Great B. B. As Solid as the New Century 



One of the World's Leading Extremely Early Tomatoes 



Price: Pkt. lOc. V2 Or. 35c. Oz. 65c. 2 Ozs. $1.10. 1/4 Lb. $2.00. 1/2 Lb. $3.75. Lb. $7.50. Postpaid. 



1. One of the Earliest, Largest, absolutely smooth Tomatoes 

 on Earth. A week earlier than the "Earliana" and as large as 

 the "Grea" B. B." 



2. A beautiful brilliant red color. 



3. Vines are a perfect mass of large, smooth fruit, a single 

 plant yielding V2 bushel 



4. Fruit extremely early enormously abundant, ripens all at 

 once. 



5. Vines 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 fruit to ripen 

 so remarkably early. 



8. it is almost like finding money to plant the I. X. L. Tomato. 



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

 favor of the 1. X. L. Tomato. 



10. In twelve years it has never disappointed a grower. 



In Market Gardener'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 

 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 the Leading Extremely Early Tomato, 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. 



I. X. L. Brings Highest Price 



On August 20. 1917. Mr. Herman Tice, if Pear Grow Farms, Bergen 

 Co.. N. J., wrote: "/ alivuys plant B:tlgiano^s I . X. L. Tomato seed for 

 early, as I do not think there is any Tomato on the market equal to it. It 

 is the earliest Tomato I have ever had. of good size and fine quality. The 

 weather condition this year has not been very good; in the first place, it was 

 a little too wet and later loo dry. Bat I have had the finest crop of I. X. L. 

 Tomatoes this year that anyone could have, and they bring the highest price 

 on the market." 



After Thirty Years' Trial in Kansas 



On Augu.it 23. 1917, Mr. .T. ,4. Peppnn. of Barber Co., Kansas, wrote: 

 "I have raised Tomatoes in this community for .30 years, having tried many 

 kinds, but like the I. X. L. the be.<:t of any. The I. X. L. begins ripening early, 

 yet tve get more ripe Tomatoes from them after the tops are frosted than from 

 any other variety. We have an abundance of green Tomatoes, when cold 

 weather compels us to pick them." 



I. X. L. Tomato the Only Kind that Pays in Texas 



On Augu.^t 2, 1917. Mrs. .7. M. Ellison, of La Salle Co.. Tex., urate: 

 "I have been planting Bolgiano's I. X. L. Tomato for the last 8 or 9 years, 

 along with other varities. and fimd thai the I. X. L. Tomatos are the only 

 kind thai pays in this locality. Other varieties tiiill grow large plants and pat 

 on an abundance of bloom, but never any fruil. This has been a very dry 

 season, not a single rain fell on my Tomatoes from the lime they were planted 

 until the crop was o(f, which was very good considering the xveather conditions. 

 I have decided not to plant any other kind here except the I. X. L., as my 

 experience has taught me that they are the only Tomatoes that pay in this 

 county." 



After Ten Years' Trial in North Carolina 



On August 16. 1917, Mr. W. T. Cannady, of Pender Co.. TV. C. wrote: 

 "As to BiAqiano's I. X. L. Tomato I can .say it is the best Tomato I have 

 ever planted. I have been planting it for the past ten years and plant no other 

 kind, either late or early; it makes a nice, smooth red Tomato and sells ivelt. 

 J find them all I desire — an Al Tomato."
