Trellis 22, an introduction of the Waltham, Mass. 
Experiment Station, 1937, is probably the most suc- 
cessful of their several introductions. The fruit will 
average 3 ounces. It is best known by the market 
gardeners of Boston and New England. Trellis 22, de- 
veloped from a cross between Waltham Forcing and 
Lloyd Forcing, is one of the so-called “hard” tomatoes. 
This factor of hardness is due to its tough skin and very 
solid interior. When trellised, pruned, irrigated, and 
heavily fertilized, yields of 50 tons per acre are not 
unusual. It sets more readily during cool weather. 
Tradesmen can keep Trellis 22 on their shelves for two 
weeks without loss. The Boston market wants a small 
tomato. 
WALTHAM FORCING 
Recommended for Greenhouse Production 
This is an introduction of the Waltham Field Station 
in 1935. It is a selection made by Dr. Robert E. Young 
from a local strain of Best of All, a Comet type. Again, 
the factor of fruit firmness is paramount. Waltham 
Forcing is one of the most successful varieties for grow- 
ing in greenhouse. It has been bred for trellising. This 
seed is produced on Stokes Proving Ground directly 
from Waltham Station stock.
