GOLDEN QUEEN (Yellow)—Suggest SUNRAY 
GROTHEN’S GLOBE (Strain No. 2) (Red) MS TANNE 66 
Important in Florida and Texas as a leading green wrap shipping variety. 
From 10 days to two weeks earlier than Rutgers and will respond favorably 
to heavier applications of fertilizer without “bunching” or excessive vegetative 
growth. Similar to Break O’Day but better color. 
VINES—Fairly open growth, medium length; leaves feathery. 
FRUIT—Medium large, globe-shaped, bright scarlet, solid interior ripens 
slowly, retaining firmness. 
GULF STATE MARKET (Pink) MS TAWNY 77 
An excellent shipping variety, also fine for market use. Has particularly heavy 
skin that is not inclined toward cracking. Our strain is unexcelled. 
VINES—Medium in size, strong, hardy, shade fruit very nicely, somewhat self- 
topping. 
FRUIT—Crimson pink, medium large, meaty, solid, globular shaped, small 
seed cells; of wonderful flavor. 
HOMESTEAD (Step 89) (Red) HS TOONE 78 
A new variety developed by the U. S. Vegetable Laboratory at Charleston, 
S. C. Has near-immunity to Fusarium wilt and shows great promise as a 
shipping variety in the Southeastern states. Rated high three years in suc- 
cession in the Southern Tomato Exchange Program (STEP) trials. 
VINES—Comparable to those of Rutgers in density of foliage, but of semi- 
determinate growth habit as in Pritchard. 
FRUIT—Of the general shape, size, color and quality of Rutgers, but dis- 
tinguishable by a lighter green shoulder, desirable in a shipping 
tomato. 
INDIANA BALTIMORE (Greater Baltimore) (Red) C TAINT 78 
Most uniform, desirable strain of the Greater Baltimore type. Fruits have been 
slightly deepened in shape, reducing loss in peeling and coring, and are noted 
for their deep red color throughout. Widely used for whole canning, juice and 
catsup. 
VINES—Large, vigorous, semi-erect with rather dense foliage. 
FRUIT—Deep, flat, large, solid, smooth and of deep red color; flavor slightly 
tart. 
JUBILEE (Yellow)—Suggest SUNRAY 
KEYSTONE 40-46 (Red) MSC TENOT 17 
A new variety that shows promise because the plant provides good shade for 
the heavy, uniform, deep red fruit and is very productive. It is widely adapted 
and has shown tolerance to late blight and Fusarium wilt. 
VINES—Strong yet compact growth, protect the fruits well; very prolific. 
FRUIT—Large, bright deep scarlet, deep flattened shape, sometimes a little 
rough; thick flesh walls and fairly heavy skin. The firm, meaty flesh 
develops a rich scarlet red color. 
LIVINGSTON BEAUTY or Trucker’s Favorite (Pink) HM TEETH 83 
An old variety which withstands adverse weather. Desirable for a summer 
market crop. 
VINES—Very large, makes a hardy, strong growth, shades fruit well. 
FRUIT—Purplish pink, somewhat flattened, large, smooth, firm, not inclined 
to crack.
