GREENHOUSE AND STAKING VARIETIES 
MOULD RESISTANT TOMATOES 
For our description of mold-resistant greenhouse tomatoes we 
are quoting almost entirely from Ontario Bulletin, Vegetable Varieties 
and Hybrids, by T. O. Graham and J. S. Shoemaker, and published in 
August, 1947. Practically all greenhouse tomatoes grown in Ontario 
are types which are resistant to certain of the aoe known races of 
leaf mold. 
VETOMOLD. : 
VETOMOLD (L. pimpinellifolium a Potentate) originated at 
the Horticultural Experiment Station, Vineland Station, Ontario, as the 
outcome of a co- operative project with the University of Toronto. It 
is a greenhouse tomato, immune to four races of leaf mold. Vetomold 
is preferred to other resistant varieties in houses that races 5 to 8 have 
not yet invaded.

_ V-121 
V-121 (L. pimpinellifolium X Potentate) is a sister selection of 
Vetomold which, although not immune to any races of mold, is highly 
resistant to six races. It is completely susceptible to two races, one 
of which has a wide distribution in Ontario. V-121 is later than 
Vetomold. The blossom clusters are more branched and lack the 
regular formation found in that variety. The fruit is medium large, 
averaging six or seven per pound .with a greater range in size than 
Vetomold.

V-473 
V-473 (Vetomold X Stirling Castle) is the most recent greenhouse 
tomato introduced by the Horticultural Experiment Station, Vine- 
land. It possesses the combined resistance of its parents. Thus far it 
has proved resistant in commercial houses. However, if either of the 
two races to which it is susceptible come to predominate, V-473 will be 
attacked by leaf mold as readily as other varieties. The fruit is much 
deeper than Vetomold and therefore easier packed. Where leaf mold 
is not a factor it is smaller and less productive than Vetomold. The 
trusses are unbranched with a short shank and bear six or seven 
uniformly sized fruits.

SELANDIA TOMATO 
This is considered to be the outstanding new European Greenhouse 
variety. It is a heavy cropper with fruit of very good size, and should 
be tried by all growers. Pkt. 35c; 14 oz. $2.50. 
GRAND RAPIDS 
Formerly the most popular greenhouse tomato, and still preferred 
to all others by many. Grand Rapids and Harkness are the largest 
greenhouse and staking tomatoes we list. 
pkt. 25c, oz. $1.00, % Ib. $3.50. 
SUTTON’S BEST OF ALL 
Perhaps the most popular of greenhouse tomatoes where mold is 
not serious; also a good staking variety. Our strain is very fine. 
pkt. 25c, oz. $1.00, % lb. $3.50. 
SUTTON’S FIRST OF ALL 
(Large Strain) 
This strain is much larger than the original and is quite similar to 
Sutton’s Best of All, but earlier. It is smaller than Harkness with a 
tougher skin and is the most favored for early outdoor staking in the 
Burlington district. 
Pkt. 25c;\ 14:02. $1.25; 02$2.00. 
CROSBY EGYPTIAN BEETS 
One of the best early varieties. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c;; 14 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50. 
ALWAYS TENDER BEET 
should be appreciated by -all those who want quality rather than — 
appearance. It is a slower grower than other beets and is not suitable 
for early. Beets are red right through, with green leaves, and inclined 
to be rough but even though very large, remain tender throughout the 
season and through the winter if properly stored.
