Bolgiano's Wonderful New Tomato 



"My Maryland" 



King of Them All. Has Surpassed the Best Yielding Tomato in the World 

 More Than 100 Per Cent— A Marvelous Double Yielder. 



77. Side by side it has produced three times the crop produced by the 

 Stone or New Century. It has even doubled the yield of the Greater 

 Baltimore Tomato. 



The vast possibilities of this New Tomato are astounding. We believed 

 in Greater Baltimore Tomato the limit of productiveness had been 

 reached but "My Maryland" so far outyields any other Tomato ever 

 grown that its remarkable productiveness is amazing. People have 

 driven miles to see a field of "My Maryland" Tomatoes and they all 

 marveled at the prodigious abundance of the crops it had produced. 

 The fields were literally covered with the finest well-shaped, perfectly 

 formed, solid, smooth, bright red, uniform fruit, all free from roughness 

 and cracks, much larger than any ever seen before. It was called then 

 and there "A Winner" audit well deserved the title. The Tomatoes are 

 much larger and far heavier than either the Greater Baltimore or the 

 New Century. By most careful re-selections for five years, we have 

 thorougly established the purity and trtieness of "My Maryland "Tomato, 

 and are delighted to be the introducer of a Tomato which from stiwt to 

 tini.sh is "King of them all." A real "Double yielder" that will be 

 known as the best second early and main crop Tomato the world over in 

 less than a year. Supplv' ' Seeds is limited. To be sure of securing 

 some, place vour order -.._ . lickly as possible. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 25c.

 Prof, F. D. Steiiens lurites: " Of the 6 varieties of To- 

 rn itoes tried here th is year I am disposed to think your 

 ' My Maryland' BEST of the lot. I base 7ny conclusions 

 on the yield, ' My Maryland' holding its own -with the 

 others. On thefreedomfrovi attack of rot ^Fiisariuni 

 Erubeseens') it being practically free from the disease, 

 Itile vai-ieties in rows adjoining have given way ma- 

 tt i tally to its ravages, especially during the last week 

 of rainy, damp weather. On its freedom from cracking 

 of the skin when fully ripe — othe> varieties presenting 

 7nore orless trouble from this, as after the rupture is 

 oyice formed in this climate moulds start quickly spoil- 

 tng its home use and local market. I thank you for 

 calling my attention to this vai-iety."

 \inooth and firm, should make a good shipper as well as 

 a -.rood canning Tomato. Plants tested see>ned to be 

 identical in all respects, and so there is no doubt that 

 the strain has been carefully selected. This variety 

 ■■hnuld be of great value for market as well ascanning

 an unfavorable season for tomatces, late frosts and 

 prolonged drv -weather have blighted other tomatoes 

 fearfully , but mine have stood up under the adverse 

 conditions remarkably luell. If this had been afavor-
