After seven seasons have passed, and the "Greater Baltimore" Tomato has been grown in ever.v 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 describ- 

 ing it, we will, as far as practical, confineourselves to extracts from theexperience 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 .'ide, and shipped side by side with five leading varities — 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 K Lb. of "Greater Baltimore ' Tomato Seed. "Vigorous grower," strong health.v 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 

 shipping fruit two weeks before thatvariety 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 around Lakeland, Fla." Had proved better than any variety tried 

 at Picton, Canada. "Stands the heat and drought of Mississippi." "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 

 tpmato— very fine flavored. As a home garden Tomato "the results have been far beyond expectations." On our own table we sliced the 

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



100 Bushel From A Single Acre In One Picking 



On Oct. 9lh. 1911. Mr. Geo. r. Datin of Hancock Co.. III., writes as 

 fo!to-:t'S: 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 the 

 middle of July and noiu it is almost the j>iiddle of October. We will 

 very likely get a frost in the next few days which will close the season 

 for this year.

 Mess. Pusey, Holland (Sf Co., of Mt. Vernon, Md., on March 29th, 

 1911, writes asf allows: Th is is to certify that I have been purchasing 

 my requireynentsfor Tomato Seed for my large Cannery, located at Mt. 

 Vernon, Md.,Jrom your Finn for about teti-years. During that time 

 I have occaswnlly purchased some varieties highly spoken of by other 

 firms in the JVoi th, but I have never yet been able to secu7-e as pure and 

 trustworthy Tomato Seed from any other firm as / have from yourself. 

 They ate always true to name and not mixed. 



Far Better Than Stone 



^^ Mr. Willetls Johnson of Cape May Co., JV. J., wj'ites as follows: 

 Your Greater Baltimore Tomato is even more than you claim. It was 

 far in advance of the Stone, side by side."

 G. Turner, a large, practical successful farmer , produced this past season 

 a>i average of 25 tons an acre of Greater Baltimore Tomatoes from seed 

 bbtaified from yon and when the frost killed the plants there were yet re- 

 maining on single plants as many as 100 tomatoes, for I personally counted 

 them myselj'." 



Extensively Used By Packers 



Mr. L. H. Mahan, Gardener in Gibson Co., Ind.. on February 23rd, 

 1911. writes as follows: Bolgiano's Greater Baltimore Tomato Seed is 

 being e.vtensively used by Packers at Terre Haute and also by the 

 Snyder Preserving Co. 



They Beat Stone Tomato 15 Times 



Mr. Cross, Supt. Kenish Canning Co., Davish Co.. Utah, writes. "In 

 reply to your inquiry, will say I planted the ' Greater Baltimore" rn fifteen 

 different fields separate from our Stone and that in eirry section and every 

 field they ripened about ten days earlier than any other. They ripen even 

 to the stem, arevcrv solid, also prolific and of a beautiful deep red color. 

 I consider them an IDEA/- TOMA TO for both grower and canner."
