TOMATOES (Continued) 
Improved Marglobe (77 days)—For many years this has been a heavy producing 
tomato, well adapted to the Pecos Valley. Large, red fruit, smooth, globular with thick 
cell walls. Holds well in white ripe stage for shipping, also, an excellent canner. The 
plant is resistant to wilt and rust. 
Bonny Best (70 days)—A second early, bright scarlet, smooth and uniform. The best 
canner where the season is too short for the Marglobe to produce heavy. 
Rutgers (73-83 days)—Bred from Marglobe and J. T. D., it combines disease resistance 
of Marglobe with J. T. D.’s habit of ripening from the interior outwards. Coarser 
foliage than Marglobe and flatter at the stem end. Primarily intended for canning, has 
also proven a good green-wrap shipper and all-purpose variety of wide adaptation. 
Break O’ Day (70 days)—Resembles Marglobe in shape, size and disease resistant 
qualities but not so productive. Open type plant. Fruits are scarlet, meaty and solid. 
Pritchard or Scarlet Topper (75 days)—Wilt resistant, heavy producer of good quality. 
Fruits are slightly globular, solid and medium sized, scarlet and well colored about 
the stem. 
New Stone (85 days)—Large, flattened, smooth and solid. Bright deep scarlet. A 
good late producer, preferred by many. Excellent canner. 
Ponderosa or Beef Steak (90 days)—A large purplish-pink, somewhat rough, heavy, 
almost seedless fruit. Extra good for slicing. Bears well until late. 
Earliana, Sparks (66 faye Our earliest tomato. Fruits are medium sized, flattened, 
firm, quite smooth and bright red. Open plants produce clusters in center. 
Dwarf Champion (78 days)—Distinctly dwarf and tree like. Fruits medium pink, 
smooth, solid, globular and flattened. 
Yellow Ponderosa (89 days)—-Large, mild flavored. Vines spreading and strongly 
resistant to wilt. Fruits rough, deep yellow and solid with small seed cells.
