BETTER THAN STONE 
VERY LARGE AND HEAVY 
The best red colored main crop variety, as well as for canning purposes. 
It ships better than most of the old sorts, ripens 10 days ahead of Stone and yields much more than Stone. It re- 
heavy. 
IMMENSELY PRODUCTIVE 
It is very meaty and fleshy, and consequently 
sists blight and other diseases better than any other variety. All gardeners and truckers are well aware of the fact that as 
soon as the Stone reaches the market, the early Tomatoes like Earliana and others, at once become back numbers. 
Now 
judge for yourself, the value of this Tomato which ripens as early as Chalk’s Jewel and is of even better quality thaa Stone. 
Greater Baltimore means quicker sales and better prices, and a loss of money to those who will not plant it. 
The Purdue 
University Agricultural Experiment Station, at Lafayette, Indiana, undertook Tomato investigation and published the re- 
sults in Bulletin No. 165, Vol. XVI, April, 1913. 
“The average calculated yields for three years for 11 varieties 
shows ‘Greater Baltimore’ ranking first with a yleld of 16.2@ tons 
per acre against Stone 13.88 tons per acre. 
“Considering yield and quality, the 11 varieties tested will 
foe as follows as a fleld crop for canning: First, ‘Greater Bal- 
more. 
“Picking season from July 25th to October ist, the ‘Greater Ba) 
timore’ yielded nearly 22 tons per sere.” 
“The ‘Greater Baltimore’ which has been gaining in popelaritys 
with the Canning Trade during the past two years, begins bearing 
12 to 16 days earlier than Stone, when both are sown and handled 
in a similar manner throughout the season.

“It will also be seen that ‘Greater Baltimore’ is as early a bearer 
as Chalk’s Barly Jewel, which is considered an early sort. 
“It is largely the earliness and the uniformity with which the 
plants bear a large number of large, smooth fruit throughout the 
ripening season that makes the ‘Greater Baltimore’ superior to the 
Stone which has been the Standard canning variety for many years. 
“The average date of first ripening for the ‘Greater Bal/imore’ 
variety was 120 days from the sowing of the seed in the hot beds 
and 65 days from the time the young plants were set in the field.”
