Penn State Earliana, developed by Dr. Myers of the Pennsylvania State College, ts ex¬ 
tremely early, very productive over a short picking season before other vartettes are reaxPy, 
and the fruits are quite smooth, firm and of an attractive bright red color. Note the thick 
wall, small seed cavities and solidity of this strain. As a first early tomato it deserves 
recognition. Due to its sparse vine growth, it can be set closer than other later vartettes.

The late Dr. Pritchard of the U.S.D.A. developed two outstanding disease resistant toma¬ 
toes. The Marglobe {left} is resistant to wilt and nail-head rust diseases. It hassize, depth, 
smoothness, uniformity and bright scarlet red coloring. The interior is very fleshy, solid, 
thick walled and of pleasing flavor when grown under favorable soil and weather con¬ 
ditions. The vines are very vigorous in growth, producingfruit until killed by frost or disease. . 
. . . The Pritchard {Scarlet Topper} came from a cross between Marglobe and an early 
variety known as Cooper’s Special. Its early terminal flower buds prevent further vine 
growth. It is noted for its early prolific habits of setting large, firm, smooth scarlet red fruits 
in clusters. It is resistant to wilt and nail-head rust, bright interior color and produces the 
most of its fruit within a few early pickings. The exterior color is often light around the 
stem.
