The New Tomato “Penn State” 
An exceedingly valuable new variety entirely different from any other variety in habit of growth, heavy cluster 
yields, uniform ripening, and it is early. 
The new Penn State Tomato was originated by Pennsylvania 
State College and Agricultural Experiment Station. It is the result 
of seven years of intensive breeding work by Dr. C. E. Myers, 
Internationally Famous Plant Breeder. 
Dr. Myers’ new Penn State is characterized by having a very 
compact growth, due to the determinate or self-pruning habit, 
which makes close planting possible. For field-conditions, rows 
3 feet apart and the plants set 27 inches apart in the row, has 
proved very satisfactory. 
The foliage is rather coarse, medium dark green, and covers 
the fruit well. Its fruit is formed in clusters, from 1 three to ten 
to the plant. The fruits are perfectly and evenly colored a rich 
scarlet, and they are unusually free from blemishes. It is 
extremely early, maturing almost as early as Penn State Earliana 
and is far superior to that variety in shape and yield. 
The shape is almost spherical, and the interior of the fruit, 
the “meat,” is a dark red with very little core, which is shallow. 
There are very few seeds. A most valuable feature, and one 
always desired, is its earliness of maturity. 
We urge that every gardener should give this new variety 
a trial. Postpaid: 25c per package of about 50 seeds.
