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.
