CANNERY TOMATOES ARE NO LONGER JUST TOMATOES— 

 THEY, TOO, MUST BE THOROUGHBREDS 



GOVERNMENT and merchandizing standards on Tomatoes and Tomato products are now on such a 

 high plane that it is impossible for a canner to succeed unless he has a raw product that is of a thoroughly 

 high quality. The business of producing Tomatoes for manufacture is one of infinite detail. A vast amount 

 of time and capital is being expended on the breeding of Tomato types which will conform to the rigid 

 modern requirements. 



Rutgers and Stokes Master Marglobe, Strain Eight, are two important varieties that have been bred for cannery 

 purposes. Both are highly disease-resistant, have excellent interior color and structure, and are extraordinary 

 producers. Both stocks, as offered on these pages, have been certified.

Rutgers is a Marglobe X J- T. D. hybrid. The original cross was made by the Campbell Soup Company and 

 ]ater developed by Professor Schermerhorn, of the New Jersey Experiment Station. It is now in its seventh genera- 

 tion of selection, and the type is well fixed. Its habit of ripening from the inside out has proved an asset, especially 

 in the manufacture of Tomato specialties — juice, soup, catsup, etc. This is on account of its high color values. 

 Some of our green-wrap customers have reported success with Rutgers. Primarily, we look on it as a variety 

 for manufacture. 



Rutgers matures about four days later than Stokes Master Marglobe Strain Six. The vine is very erect, and 

 under normal soil conditions will develop heavy, vegetative growth. It is suggested that nitrates in the fertilizer 

 be applied very slightly for this variety. Otherwise, the fruit becomes too large and often has some blossom-end 

 scar. Rutgers is highly wilt-resistant.
