The Marvel of the Seed World : Bolgiano's ''Victory'' Tomato
A Wonderful New Creation Developed during War Times.
This wonderful Tomato has been created by the World Renowned Hybridizer and Tomato Seed Specialist Mr. John Baer. With his only son a soldier in France and with his own heart heavy and sad, this great friend of the trucker and market gardener not only did "his bit" but "his all" by laboring incessantly during the four long years of the greatworld war. Meeting failures and successes, he finally created the marvelous "Victory" Tomato. Carefully considering all the grand, victorious points of the "John Baer" Tomato and aU the splendid, strong, profitable points of the "Greater Baltimore" Tomato, Mr. Baer set for himself the great task of merging the "John Baer" Tomato and the "Greater Baltimore" Tomato together and creating the most wonderful Tomato the world has ever known.
Mr. Baer has been crowned with success, as will be borne out by the remarkable photograph of the "Victory" Tomato above. Mr. Baer has created the most beautiful, the most prolific, the most profitable, the most successful Tomato the world has ever known.
The vines eire full of vim, new life and health — entirely free from wilt, blight and disease.
