 maturity only slightly later than John Baer or Bonny Best.

 center with 5 to 6 locules well filled. Fruits are large in wet 

 or dry conditions, larger than John Baer, Rutgers and Stokes-

I O U X . Variety Yield Tests Place It Among the Most Pro- 

 ductive with Highest Yields of U. S. No. 1 Grade Tomatoes. 



Selected from a cross between All-Red and Stokesdale; the 

 fruits mature two weeks earlier than Rutgers or Marglobe. 

 The fruits are almost globe shape, of medium size; light green, 

 ripening into a solid red. Flesh walls thick; meaty centers, 

 with practically no hard core. The vine growth, although 

 relatively open, is adequate to protect the fruits from the sun. 

 Set the plants 4 to 5 ft. apart. Closer planting may result in 

 greater yields but smaller fruits.
