SPINACH (Continued) 
Nobel (44 days)—Considered by many to be the best of the thick, smooth leaved sort. 
Large vigorous plant that is an enormous yielder. Slow to form seed. A good canner. 
Bloomsdale (42 days)—Will stand well without bolting to seed, therefore, used ex- 
tensively for spring planting. Leaves intensely crumpled and blistered, dark green. 
Virginia Blight Resistant (39 days)—Used principally in sections where blight occurs. 
Somewhat smoother than Bloomsdale, inclined to bolt to seed earlier. ; 
New Zealand (70 days)—Distinctly removed from true spinach. Plants tall and 
spreading with numerous shoots. Leaves rather small and pointed. Grows well in hot 
weather and under adverse conditions. 
TOMATOES 
Sow seed in hot beds and re-set plants after danger of frost or sow seed in open 
when weather is warm and thin to a stand. Plants should be set or thinned to 4 feet 
each way. One ounce will produce 2000 plants or 4 ounces will plant an acre. Plant- 
ing seed in field is the most successful method in the Pecos Valley. Planting seed 
under HOTKAPS will enable you to reach the market two or three weeks earlier. 
Improved Marglobe (77 days)—The outstanding tomato in the Pecos Valley. Larger 
than the original. Holds well in white ripe stage for shipping, also, an excellent 
canner. Large, red, smooth, globular with thick cell walls. The plant is resistant 
to wilt and rust. Very productive. 
Bonny Best (70 days)—A second early, smooth and uniform. The best canner where 
the season is too short for the Marglobe to produce heavy. Medium size, bright scarlet, 
always smooth and uniform. 
Break O’Day (70 days)—Resembles Marglobe in shape, size and ‘disease resistant 
qualities but not so productive. Open type plant. Fruits are scarlet, meaty and 
solid. 
Pritchard or Scarlet Topper (75 days)—-Wilt resistant, heavy producer of good quality. 
Fruits are slightly globular, solid and medium sized, scarlet and well colored about 
the stem. 
New Stone (85 days)—Large, flattened, smooth and solid. Bright deep scarlet. A 
good late producer, preferred by many. Excellent canner. . 
Chalk’s Early Jewel (74 days)—-A second early for home gardens, also, a good canner. 
Similar to Bonny Best, plants more open. Scarlet fruit, medium large, smooth, 
flattened globe shape. 
Ponderosa or Beef Steak (90 days)—-A large purplish-pink, somewhat rough, heavy, 
almost seedless fruit. Extra good for slicing. Bears well until late. Supply of 
seed is very limited this season. 
Early Rutgers—Wilt resistant. Smooth, uniform, bright red, small seed cells, thick 
walls. Good shipper, ripens from the inside out. Most promising in the Pecos Valley 
after short trial. 
Early Detroit (80 days)—Globular, purplish-pink, smooth, solid and free from cracks. 
Excellent quality. Vines are vigorous and productive. 
Earliana (66 days)—Our earliest tomato. Fruits are medium sized, flattened, firm, 
quite smooth and bright red. Open plants produce clusters in the center. 
June Pink (69° days)—Resembles the Earliana in every way except in color which 
is a purplish-pink. A prolific bearer in clusters of 6-8 close to the main stem.
