"My Maryland" Tomato 



"My Maryland" a 'Roaring Success' in Florida 



On August 9. 1917. Mr. W. J. Walker, of Levy Co.. Fla.. wrote: "As 

 regards my success with ttie 'A'/y Maryland' Tomato seed which I purchased 

 from you last March, I beg to state that it has been a roaring success, especially 

 considering the fact that we had the worst drought in Florida this Spring 

 than ice have had for years, having only tico light shoirers in two months. 

 An acre of 'My Maryland' Tomatoes planted on rich soil, pruned to stakes, 

 yielded at least ^i.W crates to the acre. I tell you they were a sight to behold, 

 growing 6 to 7 feet high, /riled with nice large Tomatoes from bottom to top. 

 I consider the 'My Maryland' and 'Florida Special' Tomatoes the very best 

 combination that could be planted in this Stale. 'My Maryland' is very 

 vigorous, tfiriffy and very prolific."

Sidp by side it lias produced three limes llie crop 

 prodiicml by the Stone or New Century. It has even 

 doubled the yield of the Greater Baltimore Tomato. 



The vast possibilities of this New Tomato arc 

 astounding. We believed in Greater Baltimore Tomat/) 

 the iirail of productiveness had been reached, bul 

 "My Maryland" so far outyields any other Tomato 

 ever grown that its remarkable productiveness is 

 amazing. People have driven miles to see a field of 

 "My Maryland" Tomatoes and they all marveled at 

 the prodigious abundance of the crops it had produced. 

 The fields were literally covered with the finest well- 

 shaped, perfectly formed, solid, smooth, bright red. 

 uniform fruit, all free from roughness and cracks, much 

 larger than any ever seen before. It was called then 

 and there "A Winner" and it well deserved the title. 

 The Tomatoes are much larger and far heavier than 

 either the Greater Baltimore or the New Century. 

 By most careful reselections for six years, we have 

 thoroughly established the purity and trueness of 

 "My Maryland" Tomato, and are delighted to be the 

 introducer of a Tomato which from start to finish is 

 "King of them all." A real "Double Yielder" that 

 is known as the best second early and main crop 

 Tomato the world has ever produced.

No Tomatoes but "My Maryland" 



On August I'l. 1917, Mr. Wm. Sellcr.'i. of Dor- 

 chester Co.. Md., wrote: "If I had not planted your 

 'My Maryland' this year I would not have had any 

 'Tomatoes at all, for all the other varieties which I planted 

 were total failures, owing to the extreme drought, but the 

 'My Maryland' are holding their own and producing 

 a fine crop. I take pleasure in writing you this short 

 statement, for every farmer should be grateful for good 

 seed."

 Tomato seed, ivish to slate that this seed has done very 

 good -so far this season with us, and we have had a very 

 net time up to the last couple weeks. 'My Maryland'

 Tests in New Mexico 



On November 1. !916, Mr. James W. Rigney, Assist- 

 ant Horticulturist. New Mexico College of Agriculture 

 and Mechanics Arts. State College, N. Mcx., wrote: 

 "As to Bolgiano's 'My Maryland' Tomato. I am quite 

 enthusiastic over this Tomato. We had ?S varieties in 

 our tests this year and of course many of them were from 

 different localities, but according to my opinion 'My 

 Maryland' were quite superior to all of the others, both 

 in quality and productiveness.'" 



Always True to Name 



On .Auqu.''t 6, 1917, Anderson Bros. Canning Co.. 

 of .Mahaska Co.. Iowa, wrote: "The 'My Maryland' 

 Tomato seed purchased from you last Fall for this season's 

 use nere as nearly perfect .for germination as any seed 

 we ever purchased, and fudging from pn.it experience 

 ' with your seeds, we have every reason to believe that they 

 are true to name." 



"My Maryland" Outgrew Doubly, Outbore and Outsold All Others 



On Julv 5, 1916. Mr. W. 0. Rogers, of Orange Co.. Fla.. wrote: "In 

 regard to your 'My Maryland' Tomato, it is undoubtedly the best practical 

 introduction for 30 Years. It has evidently been brought to its high standard 

 by scientific selection. I iind it a vigorous grower, blight-proof, earlier rii enmg 

 than the other varieties that are planted for early use. Without having been 

 fertilized, they at this dale are loaded with fruit fiuil as large as the earlier 

 sellings. This is on common, gray pine land. I gave some neighbors who 

 are professional market gardeners a few plants: their voluntary statement 

 to me was that tliev outgrew doubly, outbore and outsold the other varieties 

 that they had planted. Just hold 'My Maryland' to its present standard 

 and it will be suflicien!." -
