* PRITCHARD or SCARLET TOPPER—95 
Days. ‘All-America’ Gold Medal 1933. The 
plants of Pritchard (Scarlet Topper) are compara- 
tively small, the leaves and stems a little coarser 
than those of Earliana. The vines are branching 
and fairly short, the tips ending in clusters of fruit 
or leaflets, thus giving it the name of “Topper.” 
The fruits are medium in size and globular or slightly 
flattened at the blossom end. Features of this 
variety, which strongly appeal to canners, are its 
dark red interior, as well as exterior color, and its 
extreme solidity. Another strong point in its favor as 
a canning tomato, is its large yield of ripe fruit on 
rich soil over a short picking period. The Pritchard 
(Scarlet Topper) has a richer, deeper red internal 
color than Marglobe. In a recent test at Pennsyl- 
vania State College, Landreths’ Certified Pritchard 
produced the highest yield per acre of the 5 strains 
tested, the highest percentage of marketable fruits, 
and the largest average size of fruits. 
% RUTGERS—100 Days. Introduced by Prof. 
Schermerhorn of The New Jersey Agricultural Ex- 
periment 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 Mar- 
globe. 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 sunscald 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 struc- 
ture is as good as our Marglobe or Break O’Day, 
having thick outer and inner walls, and very small 
seed cavities. The internal color is darker red than 
Marglobe. Rutgers is reeommended to the canner, 
the market gardener and the home gardener. In 
recent tests at Pennsylvania State College, 
Landreths’ Certified Rutgers produced the highest 
marketable yield per acre of the 4 strains in the test, 
In Texas, 
and the largest average size of fruits. 
Landreths’ strain of Rutgers is the most outstanding 
introduction in recent years. 
%* RUTGERS (Early Strain)—95 Days. In our 
tests in 1938, Early Rutgers had a little smaller 
plant than regular Rutgers, and not as much foliage. 
The fruits mature about a week earlier. The size 
and shape of the fruits, however, are about the same 
in both sorts. 
% STONE—115 Days. The standard late variety 
for all purposes. Plants are large, and produce 
large, flat fruits with good color and solid interior 
structure. 
Pink or Purple Varieties 
Dwarf Champion—110 Days. This is a late 
tomato of the dwarf or upright, potato leaf type. 
June Pink—90 Days. 
Earliana for description. 
Is a pink Earliana—see 
Glovel or Pink Marglobe—109 Days. A new 
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture tomato created by 
crossing Pink Globe with Marvel. Medium sized, 
globular fruits on a medium sized vine. 
* GULF STATE MARKET (Louisiana Strain) 
—100 Days. This superior strain developed by 
Dr. Julian Miller of L. 8S. U. is better than most other 
pink varieties on the market. It has some resist- 
ance to wilt generally not found in pink sorts. The 
plants are robust and produce an abundance of 
medium to large ovate to globe-shaped fruits. 
¥*LIVINGSTON’S GLOBE (Landreths’ Strain) 
—100 Days. This variety has a large, coarse vine. 
The fruits are globular when small, becoming slightly 
flattened and very large when mature. Our strain 
of this variety is a distinct improvement on the old 
Pink Globe variety; in fact Landreths’ strain of 
Livingston’s Globe tomato can take the place of 
any of the old pink or purple varieties of tomatoes 
that are now grown.
