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 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" the past year. 



A Florida man writes "It is the finest Shipping Tomato ever sold, — tested side bv side, and shipped side by side with five leading varieties — 

 it beat them all." Another writes "Out of 15 Red 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 wel'. 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 Balti- 

 more" Tomato like we would slice a fine tender roast beef. We have tried to grow enough seed to go around this year, but to be on the safe side, 

 you had better order immediately. 



Your" Greater Baltimore" Tomato I planted last season, is the finest T have ever planted. I shipped about 800 crates from fii acres, some 

 sold in Boston by J. D. Mead & Co. for $3.00 a crate, /recommend it unreservedly to the growers of this section. I planted five different varieties and 

 the "Greater Baltimore" led them all. You can put me down for" Greater Baltimore" next season. Yours very truly, 



Sept. 29, 1906. THOMAS S. JOHNSON, Polk Co., Fla.
