★ PENN STATE (CERTIFIED)—90 Days 
The Penn State is a new hybrid created by crossing Cooper’s Special with Earliana. A development of 
Dr. Myers, of Penn State College. This is a self-topping type of vine with short thick stems, and large, 
coarse dark green leaflets. Because of the small size and compactness of the plants, they may be set in rows 
3 feet apart, and 18 to 24 inches between the plants in the row. This close planting tends to bunch up the 
foliage, thus giving some protection to the somewhat exposed fruits. 
The fruits are borne in clusters of 4 to 6 , closely set in the center of the plant, several clusters generally 
being found bunched together within a very small radius from the main stem. The fruits are medium in 
size, smooth, slightly flattened, of good red outside and inside color, and of fine solid internal structure with 
small seed cavities. 
The total tons of marketable fruits of Penn State are generally better than Earliana because the fruits 
are smoother and ripen up more evenly than this variety. Since the plant tends to bunch the majority of 
the fruit at the center, and these fruits tend to ripen at about the same time, only 3 or 4 pickings are gen¬ 
erally necessary to harvest the complete crop. In most sections, Penn State will mature as early as Earliana. 
Do not confuse Landreths’ Certified Penn State Tomato with what was sold by other seedsmen in 1936. 
Our stock has been carefully hand selected to remove the off-type plants found last year. A grower, in 1936, 
produced over 10 tons per acre with our Certified Penn State.
