TOMATO (Continued) 

A Field of Staked Kilgore’s Improved Grothen 
CLEO. (80 days.) This Kilgore variety in trials in different 
sections of Florida has shown much promise. It was deyel- 
oped from a cross between Clark’s Early and Oxheart, and 
possesses the earliness and red color of Clark’s Early, along 
with the deep globe shape, thick walls and large size of Ox- 
heart. The plant is very vigorous in growth with an immense 
root system, making it very drouth resistant and especially 
well adapted for sandy and shallow land. It should be fer- 
tilized with a mixture relatively high in potash and low in 
ammonia. The extensive root system takes up fertilizer read- 
ily. Should be given somewhat wider spacing than other vari- 
eties, on deep moist land, 7 to 8 feet between rows, on shallow 
land 6 to 7 feet between rows. The vigorous vines make an 
open, spreading growth and develop an immense yield of 
smooth, uniformly deep globe-shaped fruits of large size clear 
to the end of the vine.

FLETCHER’S SPECIAL. (80 days.) The vine growth is 
vigorous, withstanding wet weather conditions better than 
other variéties. The fruit is smooth and averages larger than 
Marglobe, ripening uniformly to a beautiful deep red. It is 
very heavy and meaty with small seed cavities, which makes 
it resistant to puffiness and an ideal long distance shipper. 
An exceedingly heavy producer of large, globe-shaped fruits.

GLOVEL. (80 days.) This variety comes from a cross be- 
tween Globe and Marvel. The vine growth is strong and 
vigorous. The fruit is of deep globe shape, large, firm, smooth, 
and notably free from growth cracks, and ripens to a pink 
color. It is highly resistant to Fusarium Wilt and to nailhead 
rust disease.

BREAK O’ DAY. (70 days.) An early variety producing 
heavy crops of large, smooth, globular, meaty red fruits. 
Break O’ Day is resistant to wilt and nail-head rust. The 
plants are rather weak and spreading in growth, of open char- 
acter, with very small leaves. An enormous yielder.

Red Globe Tomatoes in Manatee County, Florida. 
PRITCHARD OR SCARLET TOPPER. (75 days.) The 
Pritchard was developed by crossing Marglobe with Cooper’s 
Special Self-Topper. It combines the good qualities of both 
parent varieties. Vines medium dense, compact, erect, self- 
topping. Fruits mature very early, several days earlier than 
Marglobe, are large, smooth, meaty, globular in shape and 
ripen uniformly to a very deep attractive red color, both 
exterior and interior. This variety is an enormous producer 
and therefore requires rich or liberally fertilized moist soil. 
Does especially well on Everglades muck.

CLARK’S EARLY. (70 days.) This variety is popular in 
North Florida. It is an early maturing, semi-globe shaped 
tomato, very smooth, firm, and of large size, ripening to a 
beautiful deep red color. The plant stands up well under ad- 
verse conditions. Its high yield of fancy, early fruits makes 
it a very desirable variety to grow, especially as a spring crop 
in North Florida where the season is short.

LIVINGSTON’S GLOBE, IMPROVED. (80 days.) An 
improved strain of the old Livingston’s Globe variety, popular 
in the Gulf States for many years. Our improved strain is 
very productive of fancy, perfectly globe-shaped fruits, hold- 
ing their large size and shape until the last pickings. Ripens 
to a beautiful deep pink.

PONDEROSA. (Brimmer.) (88 days.) A very large, pink- 
fruited variety. The fruits are more or less flattened, very 
solid and meaty with few seeds, and of splendid edible qual- 
ity. Recommended only for home gardens because its un- 
usual size and weight are disadvantages in shipping.

OXHEART. (90 days.) A smooth, thick, tender and almost 
seedless pink-fruited tomato of delicious flavor. Rich soil 
adds greatly to its productiveness. This is an ideal variety 
for the home garden and for the local market.
