MANAHILL (74 Days) 
A new red tomato developed at The 
Vegetable Crops Laboratory, Bradenton, 
ila. Bred for resistance to fusarium wilt 
end gray leaf spot. Very tolerant in wet 
and poorly drained soil. Matures in season 
with Rutgers. Heavy yielder of medium to 
large size fruits, flattened in shape similar 
to Rutgers. Very meaty fruits are free of 
white or green cores, which are so com- 
mon in many varieties. Develops a fine red 
color, not changing during the process of 
canning. Vine growth very vigorous and 
dense with ample foliage protection after 
leing carried down by the fruit load. A 
complete spraying or dusting schedule is advisable for early blight, anthrac- 
nose and late blight.

RUTGERS (Indiana Strain) (72 Days) 
A superior strain of Rutgers, re-selected and supervised at Purdue Uni- 
versity. Slightly earlier and much more productive than the original 290 
strain as it came from New Jersey. Fruit quality and color likewise are 
greatly improved. Fruits are smooth, slightly flattened at the stem end, and 
deep red color ripening from the interior outward. Thick walls, small seed 
cavities, with very few seeds form very solid fruits. Plants are large, thick 
stems, with dense foliage protecting fruits from sunburn. To get maximum 
yield from Rutgers, soil must not be over supplied with nitrogen, plants 
should be set as early as possible and spray or dust for early blight, anthrac- 
nose and late blight. In northern growing regions with shorter tomato sea- 
sons, it is very important to set our Rutgers or any other late variety as soon 
as possible after the frost-free date, if a spraying or dusting schedule will 
be used. All fixed copper sprays or dusts definitely hold the foliage longer 
delaying ripening toward the harvest frost.

SOUTHLAND (74 Days) 
A new wilt and blight resistant variety developed at the Regional Vege- 
table Breeding Laboratory at Charleston, S.C. Southland is a standard type, 
general purpose red tomato, ripening in season with Rutgers and Marglobe. 
About equal to Rutgers in size, but slightly more oblate. Fruits are very 
smooth, extremely solid and meaty with a very tough peel, holding up for 
unusual lengths of time after ripening. Its tough skin gives high resistance 
to cracking. Southland is a fine green wrap and shipping variety. Vines 
are upright, quite dense and slightly more open than Rutgers at ripening 
time. Southland is resistant to fusarium wilt. early blight, anthracnose, and 
one form of common potato late blight, but very susceptible to virulent forms 
of tomato late blight. A spray program is advisable to control the latter. 
For maximum yield and fruit size, Southland requires heavy fertilization, 
particularly high in nitrogen.
