TOMATO —Continued 
Rutgers. —The Rutgers tomato was developed and introduced 
by Lyman G. Sohermerhorn of the New Jersey Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station. It is a selection from a cross between Marglobe and 
J. T. D. The fruits are medium to large, similar in shape to Mar- 
globe, except that it is more flattened at the stem end. It has thick 
outer and inner walls, with very small seed cavities, producing very 
few seeds. The flesh is firm and red. The ripening begins at the 
center so that when the fruits are red on the outside they are well 
colored throughout. It ripens about the same time as Marglobe 
and is about the same size. It is adapted for canning, market and 
home garden and is particularly suited for the manufacture of a fine 
flavored, highly colored juice.

degree.

Ponderosa in this respect. The skin is pink, same as Ponderosa. 
The flavor is unsurpassed.

FROM A PLEASED CUSTOMER 
I bought an ounce of Extra Early Mascot Tomato from you 
last winter and I raised about 100 hampers from it. These are 
the most wonderful yielders I ever saw, and all fine Tomatoes.

ANOTHER PLEASED CUSTOMER 
Your Special Stock Marglobe is certainly all you claim for it. 
I purchased a pound of seed from you last year and I had as fine 
a crop as I ever saw. They were 99% perfect. I purchased a 
pound of seed from another party for which I paid a much higher 
price, and they did not prove nearly as good as what I purchased 
from you.
