SIOUX or Early Red (Red) HMC TUOIS 68 
Developed by Prof. H. O. Werner, University of Nebraska, this early variety 
possesses the uniform color gene. Fruits ripen from a characteristic whitish 
green color to deep scarlet. It is adapted to soils of high nitrogen content 
where there is danger of excessive vine growth and also to Northern areas 
and higher elevations. 
VINES—Medium size, somewhat open with foliage of medium texture and 
density, very productive. 
FRUIT—Medium size, almost globe-shaped, scarlet, of fine quality and flavor. 
Flesh firm, with thick walls. 
SOUTHLAND (Red) MSC TOUTH 80 
This new development by the U. S. Regional Vegetable Breeding Laboratory at 
Charleston, South Carolina, is probably the most disease resistant tomato of 
commercial quality and productivity. It is nearly immune to Fusarium wilt, 
highly resistant to the collar rot caused by early blight, and is resistant to 
certain forms of late blight (Phythophthora infestans). 
VINES—Vigorous, compact, with abundant medium green foliage protecting 
the fruits. Very productive. 
FRUIT—Medium sized, flattened globe to oblate, usually smooth, but under 
some conditions catfaced. The flesh is a rich scarlet red and has a 
good firm texture.
