A ug. 22, 1906. 

 I am glad to be able to state that the "Greater Baltimore" Tomato has 

 proved extremely promising the present season. "Greater Baltimore" 

 along side of Crimson cushion and Ponderosa has proved as large as the 

 latter and as solid and symetrical as the former. That is saying^ a great 

 deal for it. IVe have picked this season dozens of specimens of "Greater 

 Baltimore" weighing over 30 ounces and several exceeding two pounds, 

 /enclose a print of one of the latter, which tells its own story on the scale. 

 I believe that you have a good thing in this variety 



Very truly yours, H. N. STARNS, 



Biologist and Horticulturist.

In reply beg to state that no tomato it pon our experimental grounds 

 has given the satisfaction that we have gotten from "Greater Baltimore." 

 It is early, prolific, hardy, of excellent quality and is fruiting longer and 

 mote sati factory than anything else we have. 



We thank you for calling our attention to this fine fruit. It should 

 be largely planted by vegetable gardeners as well as for other commercial 

 and family purposes. Yours ttulv, 



W. G. VINCENHELLER, Director.

Dear Sirs: — In reply to your inqury, 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 

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

 beautiful deep red color, /consider them an IDEAL TOM A TO for both 

 grower and canner. Yours truly,

 Messrs. f. Bolgiano & Son, Baltimore , Md. 



Gentlemen: — The "Greater Baltimore" Tomato that I used last season 

 from your seed is entirely f tee from blight and the largest yielder by half 

 that I have ever used. There can't be anything better; as you have my 

 order I can say no more. Very respectfully, 



S. M. fOHNSON, Hurlock, Md. 



The " Greater Baltimore" was something to marvel at, extra large, 

 immense yielder, rust and blight free, beautiful color, and the best of all 

 red tomatoes tried here among fifteen varieties. Same season as the 

 Chalk's feivel but decidedly better. Our Fall "Greatet Baltimore" plants 

 ane standing the heat and draught fine. Very t nil v yours,

My " Greater Baltimore" Tomato plants were a perfect mass of Toma- 

 toes, the finest I have ever seen. I do not think you will get any tomato to 

 Surpass the " Greater Baltimore." Yours very truly,

 satisjactury medium to late tomato. The fruits are large and heavy.

The following is the report upon the "Greater Baltimore" Tomato 

 Seed, which 7t/e promised a few days ago. Fruit large, oblate, slightly 

 chameled about the stem and-not deeply howevet — fruit very regular in 

 form, smooth and shapeiy, fleshy and solid and ripens well and evenly: 

 color bright — altogelhet being very handsome in appearance. Our MOST 

 CONSERVA TIVE ESTIMA TE of the rate of yield per acre of this 

 variety is 300 or more bushels of 60 pounds. 



Our conclusion then, is that "Greater Baltimore" is a fine variety, 

 large, solid, uniform in shape and size — and very productive — and worthy 

 of dissemination. Very truly, f. P. PILLSBURY.
