Red Varieties 
Beefsteak (Crimson Cushion)—115 Days, seed; 
90 Days, plants. Large, coarse plants produc- 
ing very large, flat, somewhat rough tomatoes. 
A favorite with home gardeners who want mild 
flavored, large fruits. 
Bonny Best—100 Days, seed; 73 Days, plants. 
The fruits of this old favorite are globular 
when small, becoming slightly flattened when 
they attain large size. Our strain has been 
selected for heavy yield. In a test at Pennsyl- 
vania State College, Landreths’ Certified Bonny 
Best produced the highest yield of marketable 
fruits of the 10 varieties in the Second Early 
Group, and the largest average size of fruits. 
During the Summer of 1943 Mr. H. L. Lovett, a 
Pennsylvania. grower produced 1714 tons of 
tomatoes per acre grown from D. Landreth 
Seed Company’s Bonny Best Seed. 
Tomato—-Mar globe 
Tomato—Grothen’s Globe 
Break O’Day—95 Days, seed; 70 Days, plants. 
The vines of this variety are very open grow- 
ing and somewhat resemble Earliana in appear- 
ance. It is quite resistant to disease. The fruits 
are medium to large in size and quite closely 
resemble the Marglobe as to shape. : 
Chalk’s Jewel—100 Days, seed; 74 Days, plants. 
A splendid early sort for market and canning 
in the North. 
Earliana—90 Days, seed; 66 Days, plants. This 
variety is used by market gardeners for a first 
early. It produces an abundance of medium- 
sized fruits on a small vine. 
* GREATER BALTIMORE—105 Days, seed; 83 
Days, plants. A main crop of midseason va- 
riety grown in the South and the Middle West 
It is earlier than the Stone types, and therefore 
may produce a more satisfactory crop for you. 
Our strain of Greater Baltimore has been care- 
fully plant-selected for large sized fruits and 
for good red internal color and solid structure. 
The vines are vigorous and healthy. 
% GROTHEN’S GLOBE—95 Days, seed; 68 Days, 
plants. A variety of the Break O’Day type 
developed in Florida. The vines have long stems 
like Break O’Day, but the leaflets are some- 
what larger, and more abundant. The vines 
stand up better and therefore protect the fruit 
from sunscald. The fruits are globe-shaped, as 
large or larger than Break O’Day, and with 
better external color. The internal structure is 
very solid and meaty, and of a darker red color 
than Break O’Day described above. 
*ILLINOIS PRIDE—115 Days, seed. In tests 
here at Bristol, Illinois Pride has shown more 
wilt resistance than any other variety in the 
late Stone Group. The fruits are large and 
solid, being slightly flattened in shape, and with 
dark red outside and inside color. The vines are 
dark green color, with broad leaves and heavy 
stems. Fruits are fairly smooth considering the 
large size of the tomatoes. Developed by Dr. W. 
A. Huelsen of the Illinois Experiment Station. 
* INDIANA BALTIMORE—110 Days, seed; 79 
Days, plants. This splendid strain of Balti- 
more was developed for the Mid-west. It is 
about a week later than Greater Baltimore, the 
plants are slightly larger and coarser, but the 
fruits are about the same size and shape. 
John Baer—100 Days, seed; 70 Days, plants. A 
second early tomato used extensively in New 
York State. It is similar to a large Chalk’s 
Jewel or Bonny Best.
