About 800 Crates To The Acre. 



On November 10th. 1910 Mr. R. E. A/key. of Pidnam Co., Fla., writes 

 asfolloms: "The pound of I. X. L. Tumato Seed ivhwh I bought from you 

 a year ago was plaitted at Yuma, Arizona and made the best crop of Toma- 

 toes and ilie earliest in that section. The fruit was even sized, true to 

 shape and color and shipped better than any other vai-iety. We planted 

 only J^ pound of the seed and it made 800 crates on alittlemore thanone 

 acre. I consider the I. X. L. tlie best early majket variety and that it is 

 adapted to Yuma l^alley. Side by side with the Earliana the I. X. L. 

 main crop was one week earlier. J will be in South Eastern Arizona this 

 com ing season and will want to plant more of your seed." 

 Blood Will Tell.

 you asked for your I. X. L., I purchased my supply of this Toinato from a 

 Philadelphia seedsma7i, owing to tlieir price being a little less, and I am 

 sure I lost not less than $1,000 by doing so, therefore I am coming backto 

 you this year, tlie Originators of this woyidejful Tomato.'^

H. W. Stamps. Floyd Co., Ga., writes Eebmary 25, 1909. "After trying 

 all the other leading early varieties of the viost p}-ominent Seed Growers in 

 the cou72try, I am forced to the conclusion that the I. X. L. is iJie earliest, 

 smoothest, jnost prolijic and best flavored Tomato grown. Its merits can- 

 not be exaggerated. ' '

 have e^-er seen. We had one cluster of 12 tomatoes, all a good marketable 

 size, and smooth. We counted 136 tnarketable size tomatoes on one stalk. 

 Grown side by side with the Earliana, it is earlier and will easily out- 

 yield it three to one."

 I ever g7-ew. They ai-e such fine lai-ge to7natoes. I set the 'Greater Balti-
