New Rutgers Tomato 
Harris’ Early Strain 
Very few varieties have attained such universal 
popularity in so short a time as has the Rutgers. 
Since its introduction a few years ago by Prof. 
Schermerhorn of the New Jersey Agricultural Ex¬ 
periment Station it has taken a leading place both as 
a canning and a market kind and deservedly so. 
The outstanding features of the Rutgers tomato 
are the large size and solid structure of the fruit, deep 
globe shape, fine flavor and deep red color all over 
together with a heavy set of fruit which makes for 
high yield. 
Although this is a main crop tomato we have 
selected it for earliness, producing a strain which is 
only a little later than Scarlet Popper, without losing 
any of its other fine characters. The vines are strong 
and sturdy with plenty of leaves to prevent the 
fruit being scalded by the sun.

“I had wonderful luck growing your seeds and plants last sea¬ 
son and wouldn't think of having any other kind. I am highly 
pleased and can't say enough for them where the growing season is 
as short as it is here, they couldn't grow any finer or better crops 
than they did for me last year; and I sincerely feel that if you charge 
twice what you do for them they would still be worth it."

Stokesdale— (N. Y. Certified Seed) 
We are pleased to offer for the first time this year, N. Y. State Certified seed of this promising 
new variety. This seed was grown on our own farm, and carefully rogued to meet the requirements 
of the inspectors for N. Y. State certification. 
Stokesdale is a medium size deep globe tomato, very solid, of fine quality and very prolific. 
The fruit is of excellent deep color, coloring well all over. In season it is medium early ripening 
about with Bonny Best. Because of its good quality and very heavy yield we believe this tomato 
has a place for market, shipping and canning. Try some this year.

Marglobe Tomato —Blight Resistant 
We have grown this variety on our own farm since it was first released by the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture a number of years ago and have made careful selections each year to improve the 
yield, uniformity of color, size and shape of fruit. 
The fruit is large, globe shaped, perfectly smooth, deep red, very solid and firm. Phis is also a 
standard variety for green pack, as it grows with very little stem crack and ripens well in storage. 
The vines are vigorous and healthy and do not blight, remaining green until frost, so the late 
fruit is as good as the first to ripen.
