TOMATO 
At our Oakview Experimental Gardens near Detroit, tomato seed is sown in the green- 
house April 25th to May ist. The young plants are usually set in the open field early in 
June. Under this treatment and under very favorable circumstances, the earliest varieties 
produce the first picking of ripe fruits in as little as 60 days from the date of planting 
in the field, and other varieties are comparably early. We have used in our description the 
average number of days required, based on many years of observation. 
According to our standard of description, those varieties which are described as producing 
fruits of medium size yield fruits that average 4.5 ounces to 5.4 ounces according to the 
variety; those which are said to produce fruits of medium large size, yield fruits which 
average 5.5—6 ounces; and those varieties described as large fruited, yield fruits that 
average 6.1—7.2 ounces, according to the variety. Ponderosa with very large fruits is in a class 
by itself and in contrast Cherry, Pear, Plum and Husk tomatoes bear extremely small fruits.
