Victor the New Early Tomato 
TOMATOES 
1 oz. will produce 2000 plants 
Sow inside about March 15th. Transplant once and 
set in field as soon as danger of frost is past, 4 feet by 
4 feet. Good results for late crop are obtained by sow- 
ing seed thinly in outside beds about April 20th and 
covering with cheese or tobacco cloth. These plants 
are transplanted direct to field.

RED CAP: A new second early Hybrid variety origi- 
nated at the New York State Experiment Station 
and introduced last year for the first time. Earliest 
of the Bonny Best group. Fruits smooth, with shal- 
low cavity. Does not crack badly. Inner walls 
thick; 6 to 7 regular cells. Colors deep red uniformly 
to stem with no green spots. Sets very heavy but 
some trials report a large percentage of fruits too 
small for market. Pkt. 10 cts.; 1% oz. 20 cts. 
*GROTHEN’S GLOBE: 70 days. A selection from 
Break O'Day that shows better color and has a heav- 
ier vine growth. Fruits are medium large, red, globe- 
shape, and smooth. An improved Break O'Day. 
ae wn cts.; % oz. 35 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; % lb. $1.40; 
. $4.50. 
*EARLIANA: 66 days. A very early variety for the 
home and market garden. ‘This variety has been 
improved a great deal in the past few years and the 
fruits are much smoother than they originally were. 
The vine is only medium size and the yield is not as 
large as those of later varieties. Fruits flattened, 
medium size, firm, bright red. Pkt. 10 cts.; % oz. 
30 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 1% Ib. $1.40; lb. $4.75. 
* JOHN BAER: 70 days. The best main crop 
tomato in most sections. This strain was developed 
at the Geneva Experiment Station and has proven to 
be better than the old strains. Fruits medium size, 
semi-globular, very attractive bright scarlet-red, 
smooth and quite firm. Colors well around stem. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; 14 oz. 30 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; % Ib. 
$1.30; Ib. $4.25. 
MINGOLD: 70 days. (All-America winner for 1939.) 
A new early yellow tomato that has created a great 
deal of interest wherever it has been tested. The 
additional amount of Vitamin D in yellow tomatoes 
is making them more popular as a source of juice. 
Mingold is about the season of John Baer. Yields 
well. The fruit is medium large, smooth and deep 
yellow in color. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz. 35 cts.; oz. 
60 cts.; % lb. $1.75. 
*PRITCHARD’S SCARLET TOPPER, Also called 
Pritchard: 75 days. Pritchard is a heavy yielding 
midseason variety. The flesh is very solid, brilliant 
red and of good quality. The globular fruits color 
evenly over the whole surface clear up to the stem. 
From some localities we have heard the criticism that 
too large a percentage of small tomatoes are pro- 
duced. Pritchard sets a large number of fruits and 
we feel it needs a strong soil with plenty of fertility 
if it is to give satisfactory results. Pkt. 10 cts.; % 
oz. 30 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; %4 lb. $1.40; lb. $4.75. 
NYSTATE: 68 days. A second-early variety developed 
at the Geneva Experiment Station. The fruit is large, 
deep and smooth, with uniform red color. Pkt. 10 
cts.; % oz. 30 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; % lb. $1.35; Ib. 
$4.30. 

Green tomatoes are graded and packed in bushel baskets in many 
parts of Western New York. Some of these are repacked for ripe 
tomatoes but most of them are shipped to New York and pickled 
with dill. Seneca Marglobe is largely used for this purpose. 
*SENECA MARGLOBE: 78 days. More than 
ten years ago we obtained stock seed of Marglobe 
tomato seed from the U. S. Department of Agri- 
culture. We found the variety had one very bad 
fault; it cracked badly around the stem. Selection 
work was started to correct this and we now feel that 
the improved stock is ready to be released under the 
name of Seneca Marglobe. In eliminating the ten- 
dency to crack we have slightly flattened the fruits 
but find that, at least in the green tomato trade, this 
is an advantage. Viewed from the blossom end, the 
tomatoes appear larger. In addition to selecting for 
smoothness, we have also selected heavy yielding 
plants. Pkt 10 cts.; 4% oz. 25 cts.; % oz. 45 cts.; 
oz. 80 cts.; % lb. $1.85; lb. $6.00. 
*MARGLOBE: 79 days. A medium late wilt resist- 
ant variety that has become very popular. It is a 
heavy grower and quite productive. The fruits are 
medium to large, nearly globular, smooth and very 
solid. Very fine quality. This variety is also used 
extensively for green tomatoes. We have been grow- 
ing Marglobe for several years and have a very fine 
strain. Pkt. 10 cts.; % oz. 30 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 4% 
Ib. $1.40; lb. $4.75. 
RUTGERS: 82 days. A late variety from the New 
Jersey Experiment Station. The fruit is large, deep, 
and very smooth. The color and flavor are excellent. 
This variety is rather late for New York State, 
Pkt. 10 cts.; % oz. 40 cts.; oz. 60 cts.; % Ib. $1.75; 
Ib. $6.00. 
*xOXHEART: 90 days. A distinct, attractive variety, 
popular as a novelty. Fruits are extremely large, 
somewhat rough, heart shaped and have very solid 
pink meat of very mild flavor. Moderately produc- 
tive and rather late for our climate. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
% oz. 45 cts.; oz. 80 cts.; % lb. $1.85; lb. $6.50. 
*xKING HUMBERT: 75 days. The small plum- 
shaped Italian tomato is used extensively for tomato 
paste and canning whole. Our strain of King Hum- 
bert is larger and more uniform than the old plum 
tomato. Mildly acid, firm and sweet. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
¥% oz. 45 cts.; oz. 80 cts.; % lb. $2.40; lb. $7.60.
