 SOUTHLAND 



The New Variety That Is Considerably 



Resistant to Late Blight, Early Blight 



And Many Other Tomato Diseases. 



This is an excellent variety for shipper and market 

 gardeners. It was developed at the Regional Vegetable 

 Breeding Laboratory at Charleston, S. C. "South- 

 land" is a standard type red, general purpose tomato, 

 maturing in the same season as Rutgers, or slightly 

 earlier. It is highly resistant to Fusarium Wilt and 

 collar rot and has considerable resistance to early 

 blight and at least one form of late blight. 



Fruit is approximately equal to Rutgers in size, but 

 slightly more oblate. Has smooth shoulders and de- 

 velops good even color. Southland is an excellent 

 yielder, hardy and dependable.

CUCUMBER 

 PALMETTO 



Developed by Dr. W. C. Barnes, Clemson College 

 Truck Experiment Station, Charleston, S. C. 



Resistance to Downy Mildew Removes 



Greatest Hazard to Fall Cucumber 



Production in Southeastern States. 



First Resistant variety to produce acceptable mar- 

 ket fruits. 



Here is a downy mildew resistant variety that pro- 

 duces fruit that are acceptable in the most critical 

 markets. A cross between Puerto Rico 40 and Cubit, 

 Palmetto produces fruits that are in the same class 

 as Cubit. Typical fancy fruits are 8 to 9 inches, slight- 

 ly more pomted at the ends than Cubit, with the same 

 excellent color as Cubit and Marketer, superior to 

 A & C. 



Under epidemic mildew conditions in Charleston, 

 Palmetto outyielded Marketer 4 to 23 times in fall 

 crops. Similar reports have been received from Flor- 

 ida and Texas. Spring crop yields compare favorably 

 with other varieties during normal years, but when 

 mildew strikes, Palmetto continues to produce long 

 after other varieties are ruined. 



Season 3 to 5 days later than A & C.
