Early Giant 
Hybrid Tomato 
New for 1952! 
Our newest introduction. To us, this is the 
most exciting Hybrid of over 150 we have pro- 
duced ‘and-tested. 
Early Giant was first grown in 1949 and 
has been widely tested each year since. Its con- 
tinual high performance in such widely separat- 
ed areas as New York, Kentucky, Minnesota, 
Idaho, and Colorado prove its worthiness for 
introduction. 
The outstanding feature of this new Hy- 
brid is the combination of LARGE FRUIT SIZE 
with EARLINESS—characters which tomato 
breeders and hybridizers have tried for years to 
combine. 
One University reports Early Giant fruit 
size to be 7.4 (average) compared to Rutgers at 
5.1 oz. and Valiant at 5.4 oz. in the same repli- 
cated trial. In this trial the early yield was 3.51 
tons per acre for Early Giant; 0.84 for Rutgers, 
and 2.34 for Valiant. Total yield of Early Giant 
was also greater than for Rutgers or Valiant. 
In another University trial of over 70 Hy- 
brids and varieties, Karl yGiant was among the 
three largest with a size of 7.8 oz. NO OTHER 
HYBRID WAS EQUAL TO EARLY GIANT IN 
SIZE. 
In other words, Early Giant is 1/3 larger 
than Rutgers and similar standard varieties (re- 
gardless of maturity) while at the same time be- 
ing earlier and more productive. Quality and co- 
lor is excellent. 
Contract now for 1952 crop! Every one of
