Victor—The New Extra Early Tomato 
1941 All American Winner (See photo on front cover) 
Developed by Dr. Yeager at Michigan State College, this new tomato is the most outstanding 
early variety ever produced. At the time when the old extra early varieties have but one or two 
ripe fruits, Victor has large clusters of beautiful tomatoes ripening all at once. With Victor you can 
market an abundance of fine smooth first class tomatoes earlier even than you could the old fash- 
ioned kinds and get top prices. 
The tomatoes are of good size (the average was over 41% oz. on our farm), smooth and solid. 
Having a characteristic light color when green, they turn quickly to a brilliant scarlet color all over. 
There are no green spots on Victor. 
The vine is a sturdy determinate type, that can be planted close (2 x 3 ft. is recommended) 
and thus have more early fruit per acre. Be sure to grow some Victor this year.

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. It is one of the most prolific varieties. 
Although this is a main crop tomato we have 
selected it for earliness, producing a strain which is 
only a little later than Scarlet Topper, 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.

Stokesdale—N. Y. Certified Seed 
This new variety is living up to its early prom- 
ise and has become a variety of major importance, 
especially as a canning crop. 
We are pleased to offer N. Y. State Certified 
seed again this year. This seed was grown on our own 
farm, and has fully met the strict 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 Rutger’s Tomatoes 
season it is medium early ripening about with Bonny Photo taken ieee a sae York State 
Best. Because of its good quality and very heavy ee aa 
yield, this tomato has an important place for market, CUPROCIDE 54-Y 
shipping and canning. Grow some this year. New Yellow Copper Oxide—Equal to Bordeaux for

Marsglobe Tomato—Blight Resistant 
The fruit is large, globe shaped, perfectly smooth, deep red, very solid and firm. This 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. 
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.
