USDA __CRW-169 
1 3 
Two new wilt and blight resistant red varieties developed at The U. S. 
Regional Vegetable Breeding Laboratory, Charleston, S. C. Cooperative 
test trials were made on both of these varieties in our 1950 growing, to 
determine their commercial value. Seed will not be available until released 
and named by The USDA, pending reports from many sections where they 
have been under trial. CRW-169 is a very heavy yielder; however, fruit 
quality doesn’t come up to standards set by other main varieties. CRW-194 
produces excellent quality fruits as a general purpose type, but doesn’t yield 
as well as the former. Both are mid-season in maturity, CRW-194 ripening 
a few days ahead of CRW-169. 
YELLOW PLUM (Super Argentina Strain) (72 Days) 
A much more productive strain, obtained from Argentina. Beautiful 
plum-shaped fruits grow in clusters six to eight in number. Very mild in 
flavor; valuable for making eye-appealing, tasty salad dishes and also for 
preparing mild preserves. Vine growth is vigorous, sprawling, with healthy 
dark green foliage.

LYCOPERSICON CERASIFORME (75 Days) 
The oldest species of wild tomatoes, originally discovered along the bor- 
ders of Peru and Ecuador, South America. Very disease resistant, used for 
breeding new varieties and a novelty. Small fruits, one-half to one inch in 
diameter, having two locules or seed cells, deep globular. Terrific vine 
growth, sprawling, very dense, reaching maximum spread of about 25 feet.

LYCOPERSICON PIMPINELLIFOLIUM (75 Days) 
Another strain of wild tomatoes from South America. Considered the 
smallest tomato that exists. Small fruits seldom larger than one quarter 
inch in diameter are borne in clusters, each vine bearing a thousand or more. 
The perfect globular currant like fruits possess two seed cells and are very 
mild in flavor. This strain is widely used in breeding work, because of its 
complete resistance to fusarium wilt and early blight. Vine growth, exten- 
sive, very low, sprawling, with a distinct characteristic of very small delicate 
leaves. PRICES POSTPAID: Packet 25c
