Here again is a tomato with an extra slice. Market gardeners 
should not overlook it. 
Longred, an introduction of the New York State Ex- 
periment Station 1947. The variety was developed by 
Professor W. T. Tapley from a Victor x Valiant cross. It 
holds the uniform color gene of Victor and the depth of 
our Valiant. The result is a tomato of high style 
and polish. We recommend it as a tomato for the home 
gardener, the market gardener, the shipper and the 
processor. Longred is very prolific and requires strong 
feeding. It should be sprayed regularly. We have 
produced our Longred from seed supplied by the 
Geneva Station. Tomato growers in all sections should 
try Longred. Its production capacity is astonishing, its 
graceful style will immediately be recognized. 
We recommend that Longred be given a generous 
tryout by all growers. It may be something you have 
long wanted. You will immediately recognize its 
strength and its unusual brilliance. Do not fail to test 
Longred.
