Enviable Reputation from Bolgiano's "Greater Baltimore" 



On December 18, 191S. The Manleca Canning Co.. of San Joaquin Co., 

 Calif., tvrote: "Please enter our order for 25 pniindi of 'Greater Baltimore' 

 Tomato Seed. We wish the same seed you furnished us last season. We have 

 built an enviable reputation irith our tomato patch and attribute our success 

 in a great measure to the quality of seed furnished by you, and we feel confident 

 that you will give our order special attention. Please ship at once.^^ 



Its Extremely Heavy Weight, Due to Its Firmness and Great Meatiness, 

 Makes It a Wonderful Canning Tomato 



It Ripens Evenly to the Stem and is Entirely Free from Ridges, Cracks and Blight. Smooth, 

 Well-Formed and Deep from Stem to Blossom. Fruits in Large Clusters at Every Second Joint. 

 Joints are Short and Sturdy. Brilliant Red Color, the Handsomest Tomato You Have Ever Seen. 

 Vigorous, Compact, Healthy Vines. Just Doubles the Yield of Many of the Best Cropping Tomatoes 

 You Have Ever Grown. Unrivaled Shipper, Due to Its Solidity and Firmness.

After twelve seasons have passed, and 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 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 twelve years. 



A Florida man writhes, "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 Bed varieties it was the best of all." "Very prolific — it yielded from 300 to more than 650 bushels of 

 00 Lbs. per acre." One man raised 17,000 plants from \i 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 Illinois. "Fine crop in bad season." Excellent 

 keeper — has kept until New Year's Day. Bust and blight proof. Becommended unt servedly 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 expecta- 

 tion." On our own table we sliced the "Greater Baltimore" Tomato like we would slice a fine tender roast beef. 



"Greater Baltimore" as Compared to Stone 



On February ?0. 1917, Mr. Charles W. Spencer, of Kent Co., Dela., 

 wrote: "Please send me the very best 'Greater Baltimore' Tomato Seed you have. 

 I grew i6 Ions last season on fi acres from seed purchased from you. and on 

 one acre beside these acres I only grew U tons of Stone. I think you will find 

 you will have large numbers of sales of 'Greater Baltimore' Tomato Seed 

 from this section, because of its good yield I had last season."
