JOHN BAER— HIMSELF 



Gives a Friendly but Earnest Notice 



to His Friends and Fellow 



Market Gardeners, 



Baltimore Co., Md,, Jan. 1, 1916, 



I hereby inform my Many Friends, 

 the Market Gardeners, Canners, and 

 the Public in General, I have placed 

 my entire 1916 supply of "John 

 Baer" Tomato Seed, which I person- 

 ally grew and selected, with J, Bol- 

 giano & Son, of Baltimore, Md, Any 

 seed offered by any other source is 

 not my production, and I cannot feel 

 morally responsible for the results 

 it may produce, 



I have given this Tomato my great- 

 est care and attention for many years 

 and take pride in seeing that my 

 Fellow Market Gardeners are getting 

 only seed that truly represents the 

 result of my life work.
