445. EARLY BALTIMORE. (73 days.) 
Introduced by the University of Illinois. Early 
Baltimore appears to us as being one of the best 
of the Wilt and Rust Resistant Tomatoes. It is 
a second-early variety, resistant to fusarium 
wilt. The vine is somewhat smaller than regular 
Baltimore and the leaves are finely cut. Fruits 
are oblong, smooth, bright red, solid with small 
core and shallow basin at stem end. Excellent 
for market gardens and canning. Appears to be 
particularly adapted for Northwest growing con- 
ditions. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 40c; oz., 75c; 1% Ib.,

441. OXHEART. (90 days.) Probably 
the largest and meatiest tomato in existence.

a pink color. Grown under favorable condi-

tomato of enormous size is wanted this is the 
variety to plant. We do not consider the quality 
equal to some of the smaller varieties although 
it is fine considering the immense size, PKt.,
