Rutgers 
EARLIANA 60-70 days 
Scarlet red in color, fruits average about 5 ounces in 
weight, are smooth, almost globular and show practically 
no cracking. The plant is small to medium, fairly dense, with 
fair coverage. 
GROTHEN’S GLOBE 66-75 days 
This is a very early maturing, high yielding variety. It was 
first introduced in Florida and used mostly as a green-wrap 
shipping variety, but is now popular in many other sections 
and is adapted to home or market gardens. The plants are 
open growth with rather small foliage, requiring rich, deep, 
moist land for best results. Ripens to a beautiful deep scarlet 
color. 
PRITCHARD 
Gold Medal 1933 
Pritchard was developed by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture by crossing Marglobe with Cooper's Special 
Self Topper. The vines are distinctly bushy because of self- 
pruning or self-topping character. Fruits are large, smooth, 
globe-shaped and ripen uniformly to a very deep attractive 
red color both inside and out. 
42 
67-76 days 
STOKESDALE 
This variety is quite similar to Grothen’s Globe in time of 
66-75 days 
maturity and vine growth, except that the leaves are some- 
what larger and heavier. The vines hold up better than 
Grothen’s but the fruit is smaller in size than either Grothen’s 
Globe or Rutgers. The fruit is bright scarlet in color and al- 
most globe shaped. 
BOUNTY 60-70 days 
An early variety developed by the North Dakota Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station. The fruits are scarlet in color, 
smooth, globular in shape and ripen uniformly with no dark 
green color around the stem. The vines are very small, fair 
foliage, although poor coverage because of prolific set. A 
very productive variety. 
BREAK O’DAY 62-72 days 
This variety was introduced by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture in 1930. It is an early market strain, resistant 
to wilt and nail head rust. On account of being irregular in 
size, of poor color and slow in ripening, it is not as popular 
as some varieties developed by the Department. 
SCARLET DAWN 
Gold Medal 1935 
An excellent bright scarlet sort which seldom shows any 
63-73 days 
cracking and ripens evenly from blossom to stem end. The 
vines are medium sized, with spreading branches, giving 
fair coverage. 
RUTGERS 73-83 days 
This outstanding variety was developed by the New 
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. It is only a few days 
later than Marglobe, however, much more productive. The 
vines are heavy, vigorous, bushy growth, coarser foliage 
than Marglobe, medium dark green in color. Too much 
fertilizer may produce excessive foliage and late fruiting. 
The fruits are medium to large, shaped somewhat like 
Marglobe but flatter at the stem end. The color is deep or 
dark scarlet with a very large pulpy core of almost the 
same intense color as the outer surface of the fruit.
