Stokesdale—70 Days from plants. An _ extra- 
early Tomato resembling the Marglobe in size 
and shape, but is ten days earlier. A heavy 
yielder all season. Fruits are brilliant scarlet, 
large and smooth with solid interior. Ripen 
from the inside outward. 
Valiant—90 Days, seed; 70 Days, plants. This 
type used in the South for shipments to Nor- 
thern markets. 
Oxheart—118 Days, seed; 90 Days, plants. This 
is a very late tomato with long, thin vines and 
light foliage. The fruits are enormous in size, 
the shape of a beef heart, and with such a solid 
variety matures before Rutgers and Marglobe. 
The fruit is solid, smooth and of fine quality. 
Its early maturity permits the fruit to ripen 
internal structure that there is very little room 
left for seed. The flavor is very mild and sweet 
which is preferred by some people to the more 
acid flavors, 
before the small vine growth makes it subject 
to sunburn. We recommend this fruit for plant- 
ing in New Jersey and adjacent areas. 
Ponderosa—115 Days, seed; 85 Days, plants. The 
foliage of this variety is large and very spread- 
ing. The fruits are large and flattish round in 
shape, somewhat irregular and a rough exte- 
rior. Since the internal structure is very solid, 
Ponderosa is favored by many as a home gar- 
den variety. ; 
Red Varieties Mixed—-For those who like 
to have different kinds and strains, we 
' offer a mixture of red varieties, some of 
y which will do better than others under 
various conditions and which will mature 
at different dates. Ideal for the home 
gardener who likes a variety of red vari- 
eties for the table.

plants. This is a late tomato of the dwarf or 
upright, potato leaf type.

Gulf State Market (Louisiana Strain)—100 Days, 
seed; 80 Days, plants. This superior strain 
developed by Dr. Julian Miller of L. S. U., is 
better than most other pink varieties on the 
market. It has some resistance to wilt gener- 
ally not found in pink sorts. The plants are 
robust and produce an abundance of medium to 
\F large ovate to globe-shaped fruits.
