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 Superriatural 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 fourteen 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 J^ Lb. 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 

 very handsome, dozens weighing 30 ounces, and several exceeding 32 ounces." Seed planted side by side with Stone has outyielded that variety four 

 to one. Used almost exclusively by "The Giants among the Packers" throughout Indiana and IlUnois. "Fine crop in bad season." Excellent 

 keeper — has kept until New Year's Day. Bust 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 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 line, tender roast beef. 



"Greater Baltimore" Succeeds When Others Fail 



On September 29, 19i9, The Farmers' Packing Co., of Bedford Co., Va., wrote: "This is to say that we have used your 'Greater Baltimore' Tomato for 

 the last two seasons, and they have given very great satisfaction. It has been very dry this season and the crops were nearly all a failure in this section of 

 Virginia. The 'Greater Baltimore' stood the drought and produced a better crop of Tomatoes than any other variety used around here."
