You will note that Landreths’ Strain A, the strain now being used by us ex¬ 
clusively, produced over two tons more per acre than the next highest seedsman’s 
stock. Yield per acre is important to the grower. 
NORTON 
Where wilt disease is present, this late tomato of the Stone Group can be used 
with success since it has some resistance to this disease. The fruits are solid, of 
good color but not quite as deep as Landreths’ Red Rock. 
LANDRETHS’ RED ROCK 
For those who want a fine, solid tomato, much later than Marglobe and which 
is very large and deep for a selection in the Stone Group, this new strain is just the 
thing. This variety is especially adapted to canning and juice making, having a 
fine, solid interior and an exceptionally deep red color, both external and internal. 
It makes very fine pulp for soup. The plants are very large, and the foliage heavy, 
producing the crop very late in the season. Where a late tomato can be grown this 
new selection is worth trying. 
THE RUTGERS 
This new tomato is the product of Dr. Schermerhorn, of The New Jersey 
Agricultural Experiment Station. It was developed by crossing Marglobe with 
the J. T. D. The Rutgers produces a rather large plant with thick stems and large 
leaflets, somewhat larger in all respects than Marglobe. On good, rich land, heavy 
applications of nitrogen should not be made, for Rutgers is a strong grower. The 
natural abundance of foliage serves as ample protection from sun scald of the fruits 
when light, sandy soils are used. The fruits are somewhat larger than Marglobe, 
and about the same size as Break O’Day. Being larger than Marglobe, they tend 
to flatten out more than this variety, not being quite as globe-shaped. The external 
color is dark red. The internal structure is as good as our Marglobe or Break 
O’Day, having thick outer and inner walls, and very small seed cavities. The in¬ 
ternal color is darker red than Marglobe. It is claimed that the Rutgers makes 
juice of low acidity and fine flavor, intermediate between the sweet Marglobe and 
the very tart late varieties. It is a good canning tomato. It is also claimed that 
Rutgers will yield as well as Marglobe, and on light, sandy soil will surpass this 
variety, since the vines offer more protection for the fruit. Under good conditions, 
ten to fifteen tons per acre is not an unusual yield. The maturity is about the same 
as Marglobe, that is in the second early class. In South Jersey, plants set out in 
the field about May 15th, produced the first fruits on July 10th in 1934. 
STONE 
This late selection of the Stone tomato is not as large as the Landreths’ Red 
Rock fruits nor are the plants quite as heavy in foliage. Many growers use it for 
canning since the fruits are very solid and of a good dark red color. It has some 
resistance to wilt. 
LANDRETHS’ SUNRISE 
This is a fine selection in the Earliana or early group. It produces fairly smooth 
fruits a few days before the strains of Earliana which we have tested. The plants 
are slightly smaller than Earliana.
