After another season has passed, and the "Greater Baltimore" Tomato has been grown in almost every state in the Union, and in many Foreign 

 Countries it is almost impossible to give a description t f its merits without seeming to claim for it Supernatural Powers; so in describing it, we 

 win, as far as practical, confine ourselves to extracts from the experience of those who have grown the "Greater Baltimore" the past year. 



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 beat them all." Another writes "Out of 15 Ked varieties it was the best of all." "Very prolific— it yielded from 300 to more than 500 bushels of 

 60 lbs. per acre." One man raised 17,000 plants from % lb. of "Greater Baltimore" Tomato Seed. "Vigorous grower," strong healthy plants. 

 Fruit uniform in shape and size, solid, large, very regular, smooth, shapely, fleshy, very meaty, ripens well and evenly. Beautiful bright red color, 

 fruit very handsome, dozens weighing 30ounces, and several exceeding 32 ounces. Seed planted a month later than "Duke of 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 around Lakeland. Fla." Had proved better than any variety tried at 

 Picton, Canada.^_ Stands the heat and droughtof Mississippi." "Very valuable for South Carolinacliniate." In the canning districts of Delaware 

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

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

 more" Tomato like we would slice a fine tender roast beef. We tried to grow enough seed to go around this year, but our crop is very, very short 

 so to be on the safe side you had better order immediately.
