TOMATO (continued) 
Marglobe—75 days 
An excellent main crop variety. Developed by the late Dr. Pritchard of the U.S.D.A. 
Is resistant to wilt and nail head rust. 
Fruit—Medium large, scarlet, blocky globe shape, very solid meated. Irregular cell 
structure and mild acidity. Inside flesh shows white fibers and should be allowed 
to fully ripen on plant for best color for canning. 
Vine—Strong and vigorous and a heavy yielder. Does not ''crop"' like Baltimore, but 
picks over the entire season. 
Norton, Wilt-Resistant Stone—!20 days 
Similar to Stone but a little rougher. It was developed for resistance to wilt. A strong 
growing, heavy producing type. 
Pritchard—78 days 
A second early variety of merit. Introduced by the U.S.D.A. in 1931 and developed 
by the late Dr. Pritchard. 
Fruit—Medium size, globe shape, flattened at base, exterior color good red, interior 
color deep red, no white fiber. Flesh is solid, and cell structure is irregular. 
Vine—Vigorous, resistant to wilt, compact in growth, about 24 as large as Marglobe. 
This variety ''crops,'’ making it desirable for canners. 
Rutgers—84 days 
An introduction from the New Jersey Experiment Station. It is a cross between 
Marglobe and J.T.D. 
Fruit—Slightly larger and flatter than Marglobe, with an improved interior color, 
making it desirable for canners. Most extensively used canning variety today. 
Vine—Similar to Marglobe. 
Spark's Earliana (Special) —66 days 
Fruit—Early, bright scarlet, deep, flat, smooth. Especially selected for smoothness, 
depth and earliness.
