TOMATOES—Continued 
872 PAN AMERICAN. New Resistant Large Fruited Mar- 
globe Type. This new main crop 
tomato developed by the Waited States Department of Agriculture is 
completely resistant to fusarium wilt, and has proved to be a very 
desirable home and market variety where the seasons are fairly long. 
The fruits carry the fine deep g globe shape of Marglobe but usually 
average somewhat larger in size. They are so uniform that we found 
practically no small fruits in our crops, even late in the season. They 
ripen evenly to the stem and are an attractive bright scarlet color. 
The flesh is exceptionally firm, meaty, and solid. 
Pan American has large robust plants producing enormous yields 
of fine fruit about the same time as Marglobe and Rutgers. It is an 
excellent variety to prolong the season as the fruit remains firm and 
delicious long after earlier varieties have become soft and watery.

853 COMET. For Greenhouse and Trellis Growing. Our strain 
is a great favorite around Boston and other sections 
in the East where trellis tomatoes are extensively grown. The fruit i is 
smooth, bright red and just the : 
ideal size for individual salads. 
This stock has been found with- 
out superior for both greenhouse 
and growing outside on trellises 
or stakes. The seed was saved 
from carefully selected plants.

865 ITALIAN RED PEAR (Pomo d’oro a Pero). This tomato is most 
prized by the Italian people and many others for making “tomato 
paste.” It is also used extensively for canning. These tomatoes canned 
whole with a few leaves of Basil make a delightful change from 
ordinary canned tomatoes. 
The fruit is very solid with thick walls, and deep red in color through- 
out. It is true pear shape but three or four times as large as the ordinary 
red pear tomatoes. Borne in clusters of 4 to 7 fruits on strong vines.

869 KING HUMBERT or Italian Plum. This is the same type of 
tomato as Italian Red Pear, but is plum shaped and therefore pre- 
ferred by many growers. The walls are thick and firm and the color is 
a fine deep red. Vines are husky and very prolific and the fruit are of 
ideal size for canning whole.

Bonny Best 
Smooth, firm fruit of finest quality. (See page 39) 
HARRIS’ EARLY STONE. We have discontinued this old midseason 
variety as it has now been surpassed by some of the new types, par- 
ticularly Rutgers (See page 39), which has much better shaped fruit 
and even finer quality. 
856 DWARF STONE. The plants are very dwarf and stocky with 
short thick stems and heavy leaves and can be set out close together. 
The fruit is of flattened globe shape, medium size, solid and deep red, 
and of fair quality. Not an early variety, but produces fine solid fruit 
late in the season.

874 PONDEROSA. Very Large. A late variety but with very large 
fruit that is more solid and ‘“‘meaty”’ than any other kind. The toma- 
toes are of huge size, usually somewhat rough in shape, but of excellent 
quality being almost completely free of acidity. The color is a deep 
pink and the quality is so mild and fine that many people prefer 
them even to the best red tomatoes. This is a late variety but normally 
ripens a good lot of fruit even in our Northern climate and the fruit 
holds up very well in longer seasons.

Yellow Variety 
861 GOLDEN GLOBE. Orange-yellow fruit of fine quality. A dis- 
tinct variety producing good crops of round yellow or orange tomatoes. 
The quality compares favorably with many red varieties and these 
orange fruit look very attractive sliced together with red ones. The 
juice is also an unusual treat as it is bright orange colored and of 
good flavor. This variety is somewhat late but can be depended upon 
to ripen good crops before frost.
