52 days. Introduced by the North Dakota Experiment Station. This - 
variety starts ripening about the same time as Early Chatham, but the

by some growers. Plants may be started early and transplanted to the 
field in full bloom without retarding their growth, and ripe tomatoes may 
be picked in much less time than 52 days. The red fruits are smooth, solid, 
meaty and of medium size,
