ToMATOES 1409 
For late tomatoes either for market or cannery, there are a num- 
ber of varieties or strains. Among the best are the old paragon, 
Matchless, Stone and Success. The last named in my judgment 
is the best for can house purposes. The Stone is best for 
market because it is harder and stands up better but is a shy 
cropper. The Success is a heavy bearer, is of a deep red color, 
but is a little later in maturing than either of the others. An 
acre of tomatoes for cannery can be produced for from forty to 
forty-five dollars per acre, and ten tons should be the yield. The 
writer has produced fourteen tons and slightly over, but this is 
the exception rather than the rule.
