 Busy With Big Crops of "Greater Baltimore." 

 On Oct. 7th, 1914, The T. A. Snider Preserve Co.. 

 of Chicago, III., wrote: "We have been so busy with 

 our big tomato crop this year that we neglected writing 

 you in^ regard to Tomato Seed. What price are you 

 going to make us on about 1,000 pounds of good, first- 

 class Greater Baltimore Tomato Seed in IJ-oiincc 

 packets?" 



We feel satisfied that you are going to have a lot of 

 good sized orders for Greater Baltimore from the State 

 of Indiana this year for the reason that they have seen 

 our different fields growing and we have told them that 

 we prefer that brand to some other quality."
