Victor Tomato 
VICTOR This tomato is of the Bison type, but 
is larger and more productive, and 
only 4 to 6 days later. It was bred by Dr. Yaeger 
at Michigan State College and was introduced in 1941. 
It has the rare combination of fine points sought by 
growers for years. ‘The vine is small and may be 
planted closer together than standard sorts (2x3 ft. is 
recommended), thus producing a much larger yield of 
early fruits to the acre. The fruits are not only extra 
early, but are borne in great abundance, and are 
so smooth, firm, solid and fine colored that they com- 
pare with the best later varieties. Fruits are bright 
red, average over 4% ounces each, and ripen all over 
with no green spots. A handsome tomato of excel- 
lent quality and a real money maker for the market
