RED JACKET 
Potato leaf. Fine flavor. Brilliant color. 

Red Jacket, a potato leaf tomato, highly praised by the canners of 
Western New York. Flavor and color are factors in this. 
Red Jacket, an introduction of the New York State 
Experiment Station 1947. The variety was developed 
by Professor W. T. Tapley from a Bounty x Hosenfelt. 
cross. It holds the uniform color gene factor of Bounty, 
and the potato leaf factor of Hosenfelt. It is a remark- 
able tomato and beyond doubt has an important 
future. The flavor of Red Jacket is one of its best fea- 
tures. The heavy concentration of fruit often allows the 
entire crop to be gathered in two pickings. It is a matter 
of great credit to Mr. Tapley, a member of the “Stokes 
Alumni Association,” that his Gem, Red Jacket, and 
Longred in three years have already taken 50% of 
the New York State cannery acreage. The stock herein 
offered has been grown directly from stock seed from 
the Geneva Station. is 
Canners everywhere will do well to test Red Jacket 
under varying conditions. It has unusual qualities of 
production, color and flavor that cannot fail to bring 
strong and favorable reaction by grower and proces- 
sor. We predict an important future for Red Jacket.
