Bolgiano's "Greater Baltimore" Tomato 



Prof. W. W. Tracy, of the United States Agricultinal Department, of Washington, D. C, told us in his tests the 

 ''GREATER BALTIMORE'' Tomato held its fine large si-z£, to the last Tomatoes on the vines . J. Bolgiano & Son . 



1. Greater Baltimore Tomato is the highest mountain top of 

 success in tomato growing. It is better than Stone ever was. 



2. Just doubles the yield of many of the best cropping toma- 

 toes you have ever grown. 



3. Smootli, well-formed and deep from stem to blossom. 



4. Its extremely heavy weight is due to its firmness and great 

 jneatiness. 



5. It ripens evenly to the stem and is entirely free from 

 ridges, cracks and blight. 



After eight seasons have passed, and the "Greater Baltimore' 



6. Unrivalled shipper, due to its solidity and firmness. 



7. Fruits in large clusters at every second joint. Joints are 

 short and sturdy. 



8. Brilliant red color, one of the handsomest tomatoes wc have 

 ever seen. 



9. Vigorous, compact; healthy vines. 



10. One of the grandest Second Early and Main Crop Tomatoes

 Tomato has been grown in every Tomato State in the LTnion, 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. 



.■\ 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 beat 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 Ya Lb. of "Greater Baltimore" Tomato Seed. "Vigor- 

 ous 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 very handsome, dozens weighing 30 ounces, and several exceeding 32 ounces. Seed 

 planted a month later than "Duke of York" produced shipi)ing frui* two weeks before that variety was ready. "Fine crop in bad sea- 

 son." Excellent keeper — has kept until New Year's day. Rust and blight proof. Recommended unreservedly by a grower for "the 

 section around Lakeland, Fla." Had proved better than any variety tried at Picton, Canada. "Stands the heat and drought of Missis- 

 sippi." "Very valuable for South 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. 

 lOO Bushel From A Single Acre In One Picking 



Produced An Average Of 25 Tons An Acre 

 Mr. H. Studt, of Kent Co., Del., writes as follows: "My friend, 

 Mr. A. G. Turner, a large, practical successful farmer, produced this 

 past season an average of 25 tons an acre of Greater Baltimore To- 

 matoes from seed obtained from you and when the frost killed the 

 platits there were yet remaining on single plants as many as 100 

 tomatoes, for I personally counted them myself." 



Mr. Geo. V. Datin, of Hancock Co., III., writes as follows: 

 "Have grown Bolgiano' s Greater Baltimore Tomato Seed the past 

 two Seasons and it is a splendid producer. We picked 100 bushels 

 from a single acre in one picking. They have been ripening since 

 thi middle of July and now it is almost the middle of October." 



Kin Doubt-Read This Letter 



Messrs. Pusey, Holland &■ Co., of Mt. Vernon. Md., writes as 

 follows: "This is to certify that I have been purchasing my 

 Tomato Seed for my large Canneries from your Firm for about 

 ten years. During that time I have occasionally purchased some 

 varieties highly spoken of by other firms, but I have never yet 

 been able to secure as pure and trustworthy Tomato Seed from 

 any other firm as I haz'e from yourself. They are always true 

 to name and not mixed."

The T. .4. Snider Preserve Co., of Hamilton Co., Ohio, writes

The Best Tomato That Grows 



On Sept. 10th, 1912, Messrs. torch Bros., 705 Callowhill Street, 

 Philadelphia, Pa., writes: "This is to inform you that we have 

 planted out 200 acres at Norfolk, Va., of Bolgiano's Greater Balti- 

 more Tomato Seed obtained from you, and the wonderful production 

 of the tinest 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 quan- 

 tities, at the same time such superior Canning Tomato. We are very 

 grateful to you for supplying us with such good seed, and the 

 'greater Baltimore Tomato is without doubt the greatest yielder and 

 the best varietv of Tomatoe that grows for Canning purposes."
