 After several seasons have 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" during the 

 past 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 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 650 bushelsof 

 60 L,bs. per acre." One man raised 17,000 plants from % L,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

Fayetteville, Arkansas. Mr. Cross, Sui>i. Kenish Canning Co., Davish Co., Utah, writes. "In 



In reply beg to state that no tomato upon our experimental grounds r . e Pp to y° ur inquiry, will say I planted the " Greater Baltimore" injifteen 

 has given the satif action that we have gotten from Greater 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 beautiful deep red color. I 

 consider them an IDEAL TOM A TO for both grower and canner. 

 Perfect Mass of Finest Tomatoes. 

 B. Z. Lloyd, Nacogdoches Co., Texas, writes. "My 'Greater Balti- 

 more'' Tomato plants were a perfect mass of Tomatoes, the finest I have ever 

 seen. I do not think you will get any tomato to surpass the 'Greater 

 Baltimore."'' 



Prof. W. W. Tracy of the United States Agricultural Department, > 

 at Washington, D. C, told us in his tests the "GREATER ) 



LBAI/TIMORE" Tomato held its fine large size, to the last Toma- 

 toes on the vines. f. Bolgiano & Son. 



Baltimore.'''' It is early, prolific, hardy, of excellent Quality and is 

 fruiting longer and more satisfactory than anything else we have. 



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

 be largely planted by vegetable gardeners as well as for other commer- 

 cial and f am ily purposes. Yours truly,

 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. Vei-y truly,
