TOMATO 
Lycopersicum esculentum 
New varieties are being develop- 
ed at our breeding stations and older 
varieties improved through individ- 
ual cultures: produced under expert 
handling. Disease resistance, at 
tractiveness of color, thickness ot 
walls, and heavy cropping qualities 
have been attained to a high degree. 
Seed is also available of leading 
shipping and canning varieties, cer- 
tified as to purity and freedom from 
disease by various State Depart- 
ments of Agriculture. 
The number of days indicated 
represents the time required from 
setting of plants to produce market- 
able fruits. It takes 4-5 weeks to pro- 
duce plants for field setting. 
Varieties marked r. are red fruited; 
y. yellow; p. pink; and sf. small 
fruited. 
Sow in hotbeds or indoor flats 
using fresh soil. Keep the young 
plants free of insects and about 6 
weeks later when danger of frost 
is past transplant to reasonably rich 
soil, setting the plants 3-4 ft. apart. 
Various methods of staking and 
training the vines are in use and the 
grower should study these and 
adopt the one best suited to his ac- 
reage. One ounce will make 1500- 
2000 plants and 5000-6000 plants 
are needed to set an acre. *For Stak- 
ing or Vining. 
*Break O’ Day, r.

ping; particularly desirable for 
truckers and shippers in Florida and 
Texas. Resembles Break o' Day and

a positive bright red color. Plants 
have much heavier foliage, afford- 
ing better protection from sun-scald.

large, globular; firm, and solid; in- 
terior ripens slowly. Best adapted 
to sandy loam soils of the lighter

*Rutgers Certified, r. 
A recent introduction by the New 
Jersey Experiment Station which 
has deservedly achieved general 
popularity. Primarily intended for 
canning, has also proven a good 
green-wrap shipper and all-purpose 
variety of wide adaption. Bred 
from Marglobe and J.T.D., it com- 
bines the best qualities of both, in- 
cluding Marglobe’s resistance to dis- 
ease and J.T.D.'s habit of ripening 
from the interior outwards. Plant 
large with thick stems and vigorous 
foliage. Fruits globular; bright red, 
smooth and thick walls and small 
seed cells. 86 days.
