RUTGERS 



TD UTGERS, by a wide margin, is the most important 

 Tomato in this or any other country. It was 

 introduced in 1935 by Prof. L. G. Schermerhorn of the 

 New Jersey State Experiment Station. In eight years 

 it has spread to an enormous acreage. 



Rutgers is especially valuable to canners because of 

 its dark red interior. They also like its vigorous vine- 

 growth that develops a strong central stalk, which 

 ordinarily keeps the fruit out of the mud in both fair 

 weather and foul. The later maturing habit of Rutgers 

 prevents its wide use in New York, Michigan and 

 Wisconsin. 



Rutgers' ability to develop fruit running from 6 to 

 8 ounces in size has won it a host of friends among the 

 green-wrap shippers. Although some of our trade 

 has found the variety too rough for satisfactory lug-box 

 or climax basket packing, we would point out that 

 the Stokes strain of Rutgers, which has been selected 

 for greater depth and for smoother shoulders, has 

 for the most part developed an excellent market 

 Tomato. Rutgers will mature from five days to a week 

 after Master Marglobe.
