SOMETHING NEW IN TOMATOES 
154—THE NEW "PENN STATE" 
A choice new early variety of quality. Fruit of medium size, 
rather globular, has a rich, uniform scarlet color. Flesh is dark red, 
of superb quality, with very little core or seeds. It has proven 
earlier than Earliana and has produced 4 tons of fruit per acre 
within 115 days after the seed was started in the greenhouse. 
The new ''Penn State" shows every possibility of outyielding every 
other variety and last year produced 20 tons per acre when 
planted in rows 3 feet apart and 27 inches in the rows. The com¬ 
pact plant is strong and vigorous, which allows heavy fertilizing 
for heavy yields, without the danger of forcing too much plant 
growth. Foliage covers the fruit well and protects it from sun- 
scald. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 25c; Yz oz., SI. 00; 1 oz., $1.85.
