TOMATO 



At our Oakview Experimental 

 Gardens near Detroit, tomato seed 

 is sown in the greenhouse April 25th 

 to May 1st. The young plants are 

 usually set in the open field early in 

 June. Under this treatment and under 

 very favorable circumstances, the 

 earliest varieties produce the first 

 picking of ripe fruits in as Uttle as 

 57 days from the date of planting 

 in the field, and other varieties are 

 comparably early. We have used in 

 our description the average number 

 of days required, based on many 

 years of observation. 



According to our standard of 

 description, those varieties which 

 are described as producing fruits of 

 medium size yield fruits that aver- 

 age 4.5 ounces to 6.4 ounces accord- 

 ing to the variety; those which are 

 said to produce fruits of medium 

 large size, yield fruits which average 

 5.5 — 6 ounces; and those varieties 

 described as large fruited, yield fruits 

 that average 6.1 — 7.2 ounces, accord- 

 ing to the variety. Ponderosa with 

 very large fruits is in a class by itself 

 and in comparison Cherry, Pear, 

 Plum and Husk tomatoes bear ex- 

 tremely small fruits.
