LONGRED 



Deeper handsome fruit. Long beating season. 



Here again is a tomato with an extra slice. Market gardeners 

 should not overlook it, 



Longred, an introduction of the New York State Ex- 

 periment Station 1 947. The variety was developed by 

 Professor W. T. Tapley from a Victor x Valiant cross. It 

 holds the uniform color gene of Victor and the depth of 

 our Valiant. The result is a tomato of high style 

 and polish. We recommend it as a tomato for the home 

 gardener, the market gardener, the shipper and the 

 processor. Longred is very prolific and requires strong 

 feeding. It should be sprayed regularly. We have 

 produced our Longred from seed supplied by the 

 Geneva Station. Tomato growers in all sections should 

 try Longred. Its production capacity is astonishing, its 

 graceful style will immediately be recognized. 



We recommend that Longred be given a generous 

 tryout by all growers. It may be something you have 

 long wanted. You will immediately recognize its 

 strength and its unusual brilliance. Do not fail to test 

 Longred.
