Northern canners. A fine, general purpose tomato.

of high quality, tart flavor. 
BREAK O* DAY TIDAL 70 
A recent introduction of the U. S. Department of Agriculture that is used by truckers and 
shippers due to its wilt resistance, earliness, and absence of growth cracks. First early. 
VINES—Foliage rather light, early, hardy, very prolific. Somewhat similar to Marglobe. 
FRUIT —Globe shaped, smooth, large, fleshy, of good quality, color light scarlet.

ductive over a long period.

VINES—Erect, dwarf, “tree” type,- fairly prolific. 
FRUIT —Fine flavored, large, smooth, oblate, bright scarlet, solid. 
EARLIANA TAFFY 66

we have ever seen.

FRUIT —Bright scarlet, medium sized, nearly globe shaped, thick skinned, borne in 
clusters. 
GREATER BALTIMORE (INDIANA GREATER BALTIMORE) TAINT 80 
The leading canning and juice tomato. Our Keystone Canner Strain represents years of 
painstaking selection and is today the most uniform, most desirable strain we have ever 
seen. Fruits have been slightly deepened in shape, reducing loss in peeling and coring. 
Noted for its deep red color throughout. 
VINES—Vigorous, semi-erect, large vine, slightly earlier than other strains of this variety, 
and heavily productive up to frost. 
FRUIT —Deep shape, somewhat flattened, large, solid, smooth, bright deep red color of 
skin and flesh; ripens evenly over entire surface.

to Bonny Best except vines a little more vigorous. Valuable for market gardeners and a 
very good canner. 
VINES—Medium to large, vigorous grower, and quite prolific. 
FRUIT —Deep scarlet red, oblate to round, firm, smooth, of good quality. 
LOUISIANA, RED TIGHT 75 
A fine, medium early variety which merits a chance in the home garden. It is wilt resistant.

VINES—Medium to large, vigorous, and prolific. 
FRUIT —Red, firm, medium sized, smooth, small seed cavity, of good flavor. 
MARGLOBE (WILT RESISTANT) TALON 78 
A most valuable all-purpose variety that has won its way to a surprising number of gar¬ 
deners, shippers, and canners. The best wilt and nailhead rust resistant tomato yet de¬ 
veloped. Our strain is the true type, originally from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
VINES—Large, medium green, heavy foliage that shades fruit well, inclined to be erect. 
FRUIT —Bright scarlet color, fully colored around the stem, deep round or globe 
shaped, smooth, free from circular cracking, thick walls, solid, of fine quality.

spreading, prolific. 
FRUIT —Scarlet red, globe shaped, medium sized, smooth, attractive, and of good flavor.
