ALL LANDRETH TOMATO SEED IS GROWN AT BLOOMSDALE 
77 
TOMATO—Continued 
Detroit, Early—110 Days 
A large early, productive, solid variety, flesh purple. 
Similar to a large Beauty. Fruit smooth, always 
globular-shaped, of good quality. 
Dwarf Champion—110 Days 
Second early, stems short, thick, stiff, almost self- 
supporting. Grows like a tree, therefore sometimes 
called Tree Tomato, a habit which enables the 
plants to be set much closer together than the 
ordinary Tomato. Potato leaves, very dark in color, 
much curled and twisted. Fruit medium size, 
nearly round, solid, purplish red in color. 
GLOBE—100 Days 
Grown very largely in the southern part of Florida, 
Texas and Louisiana for shipment to the northern 
markets. Color a pinkish red; plum to globe-shaped, 
very productive. A constant bearer. This Tomato 
originated in our Bloomsdale Green House in 1890 
through hybridization, but the time for its popularity 
bad not arrived, therefore we discarded it, and in 
later years began growing it again. 
Gulf State Market—100 Days 
A productive sort and an excellent shipper by reason 
of its tough skin. Color purple and pink. Form 
globular, free from cracks. Vine very hardy. One 
of the best. 
June Pink—90 Days 
The earliest pink variety on the market. In 
reality, it is simply a pink form of Earliana and has 
all the characteristics of Earliana. Fruit solid and 
borne in profusion. 
Oxheart—118 Days 
Is a giant in form. The shyest producer of seed 
known, therefore the most solid flesh. Good mild 
flavor, smooth, tender, excellent table qualities. 
There are three colors of this variety, red, yellow and 
purple. The strain we are offering is purple. 
Ponderosa—115 Days 
This variety is similar to Brimmer; in fact, it is so 
very much like it that it is impossible to distinguish 
them. It is commonly known as Beefsteak in some 
sections of the United States. The foliage is large 
and broad. It is monstrous in size. The fruit is 
purplish-pink, very solid, irregular, crinkled and 
ovoid, flattened at both ends, meaty and contains 
very few seeds. It is one of the very largest Toma¬ 
toes grown and considered very desirable for slicing. 
Walter Richards* Extra Early Improved Globe 
—100 Days 
Tall, dark green vine, very healthy and vigorous, 
with many thick stems and more fruit bearing 
branches and more wilt-resistant than any other 
globe Tomato. An oval purple globe with heavy, 
very smooth skin, but little cavity at the stem 
end and none at the blossom end. It is much like 
an orange in shape, with no green core and abso¬ 
lutely free from cracks. The fruit is borne in 
clusters, tightly attached to the stem. It averages 
about inches in size across the crown, and a vine 
often has 60 to 100 fruits and an acre sometimes 
produces 15 tons. It is a fine shipper. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
Golden Queen or Trophy—100 Days 
This is a bright, smooth, well-shaped medium- 
fruited yellow variety. Very productive, possessing 
superior flavor to any of the Red sorts. The fruit 
often shows a slight blush of red when fully ripened, 
which makes it very attractive in appearance. 
Plum-Shaped Yellow—100 Days 
Same as plum-shaped red in every particular except 
in color. Used in pickling in whole form.
