EARLIANA-PENN STATE STRAIN 



A large, smooth and productive Earliana tomato 



Days to maturity, 120-125. Everyone recognizes the value of having the very earliest 

 tomatoes on the market. Dr. C. E. Myers, of Pennsylvania State College, has developed 

 one of the most successful strains, which we now offer for the fourth year. Perhaps the 

 most impressive feature of Penn State EarHana, next to its very early maturity, is the 

 unusual size and smoothness of the fruit. It is not unusual to mistake Penn State for 

 Bonny Best when seeing the harvested fruit away from the vines. Another outstanding 

 feature of Penn State Earliana is the great productiveness of the strain. Dr. Myers did 

 not offer this to the public until he had worked on it for twelve years. We consider he 

 has made a notable contribution. The Earliana types are not suited for heavy soils, 

 and will not perform well on them. If you do not have a warm, sandy loam, it is best 

 not to attempt it.
