Trellis 22, an introduction of the Waltham, Mass. 

 Experiment Station, 1937, is probably the most suc- 

 cessful of their several introductions. The fruit will 

 average dVi ounces. It is best known by the market 

 gardeners of Boston and New England. Trellis 22, de- 

 veloped from a cross between Waltham Forcing and 

 Lloyd Forcing, is one of the so-called "hard" tomatoes. 

 This factor of hardness is due to its tough skin and very 

 solid interior. When trellised, pruned, irrigated, and 

 heavily fertilized, yields of 50 tons per acre are not 

 unusual. It sets more readily during cool weather. 

 Tradesmen can keep Trellis 22 on their shelves for two 

 weeks without loss. The Boston market wants a small 

 tomato. 



WALTHAM FORCING 



Recommended for Greenhouse Production 



This is an introduction of the Waltham Field Station 

 in 1 935. It is a selection made by Dr. Robert E. Young 

 from a local strain of Best of All, a Comet type. Again, 

 the factor of fruit firmness is paramount. Waltham 

 Forcing is one of the most successful varieties for grow- 

 ing in greenhouse. It has been bred for trellising. This 

 seed is produced on Stokes Proving Ground directly 

 from Waltham Station stock.
