  Greater

  Tomato 
  is 
  the 
  higliest 
  mountain 
  top 
  of 
  suc- 
  

   cess 
  in

  It 
  is

  Stone 
  ever 
  was.

  Just

  many 
  of 
  the 
  best

   have 
  ever 
  grown. 
  

  

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

  

  4. 
  Its 
  e.vtremely 
  heavy 
  weight 
  is 
  due 
  to- 
  its 
  firmness 
  and 
  great 
  

   meatiness. 
  

  

  5. 
  It 
  ripens 
  evenly 
  to 
  the

  After 
  eight 
  seasons 
  have 
  passed, 
  and 
  the 
  "Greater 
  Baltimore" 
  Tomato 
  )ias 
  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 
  Super- 
  

   natural 
  Powers; 
  so 
  in 
  describing 
  it, 
  we 
  will 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  practical, 
  confine 
  ourselves 
  to 
  extracts 
  from 
  the 
  experience 
  of 
  those 
  ytiio 
  

   have 
  grown 
  the 
  "Greater 
  Baltimore 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  seven 
  years.

  Another 
  writes, 
  "'Out

  was

  "Very

  sliced
