After six 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 six 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 varities — it 

 beat them all." Another writes "Out of IS Red varieties it was the best of all." "Very prolific — it yielded from 300 to more than 650 bushels of 

 60 t,bs. per acre." One man raised 17,000 plants from Ji I,b. 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 30 ounces, 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 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 expectations." On our own table we sliced 

 the ' ' Greater Baltimore" Tomato like we would slice a fine tender roast beef. We have had a good seed crop and have lowered our prices accordingly. 



Marvelous Yielder. 



On Jan. 7th, 1910. Mr. H. Studte of Kent Co., Del., writes as follows: 

 My friend Mr. A.G. Turner,alarge, -practical successful farmer,pro- 

 duced tit is fast season an average of 25 tons an acre of Greater Baltimore 

 Tomatoes from seed obtained from you and when the frost killed the 

 plants there luere yet remaining on single plants as many as 100 toma- 

 toes, for I personally counted them tnyself." 



The Ideal Tomato. 



Mr. Cross, Supt. Kenisli Canning Co.. Davish Co., Utah, writes. "In 

 reply to your inquiry, will say I planted the Greater Baltimore' in 

 fifteen different fields separate from, our Stone and that in every section 

 and every field they ripened about ten days earlier than any other. They 

 ripen even to the stem, are very solid, also prolific and of a beautiftd 

 deep red color. I consider them an IDEAL TOM A TO for both grower 

 and canner.'^ 



Prof. W. W. Tracy of the United States Agricultural Depart- + 



ment at Washington, D. C, told us in his tests the "GREAT- i 



ER BAI^TIMORE" Tomato held its fine large size to the last | 



Tomatoes on the vines. J. Bolgiano c2f Son. \

 It was far in advance of the Stone, side by side."

 follows: 'I am now selling the Greater Baltimore Tomato for $2.00

Mr. T. IV. Stansberry writes A ugust 11. ' '/ have groivn yozir Bolgiano' s 

 ' Greater Baltimore' Tomato for several years and neither wet weather nor 

 dry weather affected its yield. I would sooner have 'Greater Baltimores' 

 than any other tomatoes I have ever grown, for they are immense yielders 

 and are of the finest quality. ' '
