 Tomato 



249. The Washington Tomato 



A Marvelous Wilt-Resistant Tomato Bred to the 

 Highest State of Perfection 



In repeated tests, planted at the same time and given 

 identical cultural conditions, other varieties were completely 

 destroyed by wilt while The Washington was free from wilt 

 and produced a good crop of fruit. 



The Washington Tomato produces a heavy crop of medium 

 large, smooth, solid, beautiful red tomatoes. Free from 

 cracks. Few seeds, consists almost entirely of plump solid 

 meat. Mild, delicious, sweet flavor. Matures about the same 

 time as Stone and Greater Baltimore, but a much heavier 

 yielder of more solid fruit. Fruits in large clusters. A won- 

 derful drought resister. From the time it begins to ripen 

 continues to bear heavily until killed by frost. Large vines 

 that protect the fruit from the hot sun. 



Produces a heavy crop either on wilt infested soils or on 

 soils- that are free from wilt.
