Rutgers Tomato 
Rutgers Tomato 
T HIS second early variety developed by the 
New Jersey Agricultural Station is similar 
in shape to Marglobe except it is more flatten' 
ed at the stem end. Earlier than Marglobe and 
continuing to bear throughout the season 
makes it well adapted for canning, market or 
home garden. Vines large and vigorous with 
an abundance of heavy foliage to protect the 
fruits from sumscald and consistent in produc¬ 
tion of a heavy crop. Fruits blood red, med¬ 
ium to large, smooth, uniform in shape, free 
from cracks and disease. Thick outer and 
inner walls with small seed cavities. Flesh firm 
and ripening begins at the center so that 
when the fruits are red on the outside they 
are well colored throughout. This is an im¬ 
portant factor when growing tomatoes for 
canning and juice manufacture. Flavor very 
pleasing with a low acidity content.
