TOMATO—Continued 
★ BREAK O’DAY (CERTIFIED)—95 Days 
This recently introduced tomato has become a popular early red variety, grown in some western states 
with great success. Dr. F. J. Pritchard, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, originated it by crossing 
Marvana with the Marglobe. 
The vines are very open growing and somewhat resemble Earliana in appearance. The leaves are small 
and rather short for such a prolific plant. It is quite resistant to disease. The fruits are medium to large in 
size and quite closely resemble the Marglobe as to shape. Under good cultural and climatic conditions where 
a heaAuer vine growth and a somewhat lower summer temperature prevail, the Break O’Day will produce 
satisfactory external and internal color. This variety is not recommended for light nor sandy soils. It is 
only a few days later than our Earliana.

★ BROWN'S SPECIAL (CERTIFIED)^! 20 Days 
A new, late variety of considerable merit for canning, especially suited to the South. The stems of the 
plant are long, and the leaflets are large and dark green in color. The plant produces the largest amount of 
foliage of any tomato that we know of, therefore is well suited to lighter soil types. Heavy applications of 
nitrogenous fertilizers should not be made to this variety. 
The fruits resemble Stone and Greater Baltimore in type, being somewhat flattened, but are much 
larger, averaging 6 to 8 ounces per fruit. The external and internal color is a dark red, and the interior 
structure is very solid with very small seed cavities. A distinguishing character of Brown’s Special is the 
light green color of the fruits just before they ripen. 
Brown’s Special produced the highest yield per acre of the 7 varieties in the Late Group and the largest 
average size per fruit in a test at Penn State College in 19.35. 
In 1936, this variety also stood highest in yield of 6 late varieties in a test in Ohio. 
The crop is produced later than Stone or any of that group. This is a fine juice and canning tomato, 
on account of its color and productiveness.

^GREATER BALTIMORE (CERTIFIED)—105 Days 
A main crop or midseason variety grown in the South and tlie Middle West. It is earlier than the 
Stone types, and therefore may produce a more satisfactory crop for you. Our strain of Greater Baltimore 
lias been carefully plant-selected for large sized fruits and for good red internal color and solid structure. 
The vines are vigorous and healthy. In 1936, a grower in Bucks County produced over 10 tons of fruits 
per acre.

★ GROTHEN'S RED GLOBE (CERTIFIED)—95 Days 
A new variety of the Break O’Day type developed in Florida. The vines have long stems like Break 
O’Day, but the leaflets are somewhat larger, and more abundant. The vines stand up better than Break 
O’Day, and therefore protect the fruit from sunscald. 
The fruits are globe-shaped to slightly flattened, as large or larger than Break O’Day, with better 
external color than Break O’Day. The internal structure is very solid and meaty, and of a darker red color 
than Break O’Day. 
Ten tons of fruit per acre is not an unusual yield for this variety, some good growers producing 
gieater yields. The crop matures at about the same time as Break O’Day.
