After eight seasons have pa.ssed. and the "Greater Baltimore" Tomato has been grown in every Tomato State in the Union, and in many 

 Foreign Countries it is almost impossible to give a description of its merits without seeming to claim for it Supernatural Powers; so in describing 

 it, we will as far as practical, confine ourselves to extracts from the experience of those who have grown the "Greater Baltimore" during the past 

 seven years. 



A Florida man writes, "It is the finest Shipping Tomato ever sold — tested side by side, and shipped side by side with five leading varieties — 

 it beats them all." Another writes. "Out of 15 Red varieties it was the best of all." "Very prolific— it yielded from 300 to more than 650 bushels of 

 60 Lbs. per acre." One man raised 17,000 plants from '4 Ll>-of "Greater Baltimore" Tomato Seed. "Vigorous grower. ' strong, healthy plants. Fruit 

 uniform in shape and size, large very regular, smooth, shapely, fleshy, very meaty, ripens well and evenly. Beautiful bright red color, fruit%-ery 

 handsome, dozens weighing 30 ounces, and several exceeding 32 ounces. Seed planted a month later than "Dukeof York" produced shipping 

 fruit two weeks before that variety was ready. "Fine crop in bad season " Excellent keeper — has kept until New Year's day. Rust and blight 

 proof. Recommended unreservedly by a grower for "the section aroimd Lakeland, Fla." Had proved better than any variety tried at Picton, 

 Canada. "Stands the heat and drouifht of Mississippi." "Very valuable for S luth Carolina climate." In the canning districts of Delaware and 

 Maryland "yielded a fine crop in a bad season." Texas says there is no better tomato in size and taste on the market; not an acid tomato — very fine 

 flavored. As a home garden Tomato "the results have been far beyond expectation." On our own table we sliced the "Greater Baltimore" 

 Tomato like we would slice a fine tender roast beef. We have had a good crop and have lowered our prices accordingly. 

 In Kentucky— They Beat Them All 



On March 4th, 1913. Mr. Edw. Dudley of Critten Co., Ky.,wyites: I 

 have used your Greater Baltimore Totnato for past six years for cann ing, 

 for market and for home use and they beat any other tomato that I have 

 ever tried. I find them earlier than New Stone and weightier and the 

 flesh is almost as solid as an apple.

 delphia, Pa , writes: "This is to inform you that we have planted out 200 

 acres at Noifolk, Va,, of Bolgiano's Greater Baltitnoie Tomato Seed 

 obtained from you, and the wonderful production cf the finest quality of 

 Canning Tomatoes produced by this variety is a great amazement to all 

 Truck Growers in that section, who have never seen a variety of Tomato 

 that produced such enormous quantities, at the same time such superior 

 Catming Tomatoes. IVearevery grateful toyoufor-supplying uswithsuch 

 good seed, and the greater Baltimore Tomato is without doubt the greatest 

 yielder and the best variety of Tomato that grows for Canning purposes."
