June Pink is a popular variety for markets which pre- 
fer pink tomatoes. It is not so prolific as Earliana. 
Globe is a purple, medium early variety, valued for its 
solid globular fruits. While it is popular among many 
growers, it has not met with universal favor. 
LATE VARIETIES 
Stone and its various strains take first place in popu- 
larity among late varieties grown for market or for can- 
ning. The plants are strong and vigorous and produce 
a heavy setting of large, solid, bright-red tomatoes, 
Baltimore is a canning tomato of prominence, quite 
similar to Stone. 
Matchless is a remarkably fine late tomato which ma- 
tures about the same time as or slightly later than Stone. 
The fruits are as solid and as fine in quality. 
Matchum and Nittany, developed by Mr. C. E. Myers 
of the Pennsylvania Agr. Exp. Sta., are varieties of 
promise recently introduced. 
Dwarf Stone is a favorite in home gardens, where up- 
right plants are wanted on account of limited space. 
Beauty is probably the most largely planted late pink 
tomato. The fruits color thoroughly over the entire 
surface. Like other pink tomatoes, the skin cracks badly 
in wet weather. 
Trucker Favorite, a purple-fruited variety, has been 
largely planted for many years. The tomatoes are large, 
solid and of fine quality. 
Ponderosa is a very large, purple-fruited variety, val- 
ued by many home gardeners on account of the few seeds 
and extremely solid flesh. The quality is excellent, but 
the fruits are often ill-shaped. 
Norton, Norduke, and Marvel have been developed in 
the South for wilt resistance. 
Yellow Pear, Red Plum, Peach, and other small fruited 
varieties, are used largely for preserving and pickling.
