North Dakota Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station. Selections from this 

 cross were grown at the Michigan 

 Experiment Station along with cross- 

 es between Allred and Break-0-Day, 

 the parents of the Victor variety. 



When these various selected 

 strains were moved to New Hamp- 

 shire, it was found that under local 

 conditions, the selections from Allred 

 crossed with Marglobe retained their 

 foliage somewhat better than did the 

 standard Victor variety. Hence, this 

 selection was named New Hampshire 

 Victor as an especially adapted va- 

 riety of early, large-fruited, red to- 

 mato of the determinate plant type. 



ORANGE CHATHAM 



The Orange Chatham variety was 

 produced for the benefit of gardeners 

 living in the sections of New Hamp- 

 shire with short growing seasons. It 

 came by crossing Chatham with 

 Orange King and then selecting from 

 this cross an extremely early, round, 

 orange-fruited plant. It is primarily 

 a novelty variety. 



WINDOWBOX 



Windowbox came from a cross be- 

 tween Dwarf Champion and Redskin. 

 It combines the dwarf stiff plant 

 characteristics of Dwarf Champion 

 with the extreme earliness and de- 

 terminate growth habit of Redskin. 

 The object of making this cross was 

 to try to furnish a tomato which 

 would produce one large cluster of 

 fruit on a plant about the size of a 

 bush-bean plant, early enough so 

 that the seed could be planted in the 

 field under good growing conditions. 

 Windoivhox will do this. 



Its name originated during World 

 War II when an invalid who lived 

 in the city asked if there was any- 

 thing that she could raise in a win- 

 dowbox to produce food. This to- 

 mato was sent to the woman and she 

 successfully raised it. Windowbox 



tomatoes are of satisfactory slicing 

 size, although they are somewhat 

 smaller than may be desired for the 

 general market. The variety also 

 has proved satisfactory as an out-of- 

 doors tomato in short seasons. The 

 plants may be set six inches to one 

 foot apart in the row with a distance 

 of three feet between the rows. 



Tiny Tim, a variety for winter ornament 

 or summer cropping. 



TINY TIM 



Tiny Tim (shown above) came 

 from a class plant-breeding project. 

 The object was to discover how small 

 a tomato plant that would mature 

 fruit could be produced. A cross was 

 made between Windowbox and Red 

 Currant. Plants were selected for 

 determinate growth habit, dwarfness, 

 small fruits, and small plants. The 

 result was the development of the 

 Tiny Tim variety. 



This variety can be grown and 

 matured nicely in a SVij-inch pot. It 

 was given the name "Tiny Tim" be-
