JOHN BAER 64-74 days 
One of the most reliable kinds for home, market or can- 
ning. The fruit is solid, deep red all through, and produced 
in great clusters. It is early enough to ripen all the crop 
before frost in a normal season. 
SOUTHLAND 70-75 days 
Developed for the South by the U. S. Regional Vegetable 
Laboratory at Charleston, S. C., it should be favored for 
canning, shipping and home gardens. It has considerable 
resistance to late blight and blossom end rot, is nearly 
immune to Fusarium wilt and highly resistant to collar rot. 
The vines are spreading and hold up well because of re- 
sistance to early blight. The fruits average 62-8 ounces, 
about 2% inches in diameter by 2% inches deep, deep red 
in color, have some circumferential cracks and do not have 
the even-ripening characteristic. 
GULF STATE MARKET 80-90 days 
Used in the Gulf States for canning and green-wrap ship- 
ping. It has a medium size plant and is moderately pro- 
ductive of fruits pink to carmine, medium large, smooth and 
thick walled. 
JUNE PINK 62-72 days 
A favorite in the South. It is best described as a pink- 
fruited Earliana, fairly free from ringing and cracking. The 
vines resemble those of Earliana. 
SAN MARZANO 80 days 
A variety of Italian origin, used for whole canning and 
for tomato paste and puree. The medium vines are some- 
what open and upright and heavy yielding. The fruits are 
scarlet red, 32 inches long by 1¥2 inches thick, two celled 
and are borne in clusters. The flavor is mild and the fruits 
have little juice. 
LAKELAND 65-70 days 
A heavy producer of globe or slightly flattened globe 
shaped fruits. First fruits average about 6 ounces, later ones 
4—5 ounces. The vines are medium size with fair to good 
coverage. The fruits bleach just before ripening, indicating 
readiness for picking for green-wrap. Slightly less suscepti- 
ble than Rutgers to fusarium and mosaic. Sets well in wet or 
dry growing season, but does not do well in a wet harvest 
season.

VALIANT 68-70 days 
One of the best early varieties for market and home 
gardeners. Fruits are large, smooth, globe-shaped and 
have a good red color. Valiant starts to produce early and 
continues to bear fruit throughout the season. Vines are 
vigorous and have open spreading habit. Requires fairly 
heavy soil; well fertilized. 
TOMATO-MANASOTA (New) 70 days 
This important new wilt resistant variety was bred in 
Bradenton, Florida, at the Vegetable Crops Laboratory. 
Definitely resistant to fusarium wilt it shows much promise 
as an early maturing greenwrap variety. The plants are of 
open growth, erect, with sparse foliage. A good yielder 
with remarkable ability to set large hands of good sized, 
uniform, high quality fruit. Appears to possess some re- 
sistance to alternaria and collar rot. The fruit is deep globe 
in shape, thick walled and attractive in color. Introduced in 
1949. Seed supply limited.
