WESTERN-RED (68 Days) sie reat EE ctl 
A new and important red, market variety alec Ree 
developed by L. F. Locke, soil scientist at the Ful 
Southern Great Plains Field Station. A cross ‘ 
of Porters X Danmark X Break O’Day. West- 
ern-Red was bred and selected for its char- 
acteristic of setting fruit under the hot and dry 
conditions of the respective area where it was 
developed. It has proven to produce much 
higher yields than other well known standard 
varieties under adverse climatic conditions. 
Vines are medium size, determinate in growth. 
Rather open foliage coverage; however, fruits 
resist sun scald remarkably well. Mid-season 
in maturity, the fruits attain a medium average 
size, light red color and mild in flavor. Western- 
Red is recommended as a home garden and 
local market variety for western Oklahoma, 
southwestern Kansas, eastern New Mexico and 
western Texas. Pkt. 4% oz. 25c; % oz. 40c; 
1 oz. $1.50; % lb. $5.50 
SUNRAY (70 Days) 
A new golden orange variety developed 
by Dr. W. S. Porte at The Plant Industry 
Station, Beltsville, Md. Very important in 
its color type, mainly because of its resist- 
ance to fusarium wilt. A cross of Pan 
American and Jubilee, possessing all of the 
wilt resistance of the former, plus excellent 
fruit qualities of the latter parent. Fruits 
ripen a beautiful golden orange, uniform 
deep globular, medium to large in size, 
solid, meaty, mild in flavor and free of 
acid. Vine growth very upright until car- 
ried down with fruit load, having ample 
toliage protection thereafter. Leaves are 
wide, healthy, supported by thick sturdy 
vines. An excellent variety for processing 
golden orange tomato juice, for home gar- 
dens to make tasty and beautiful salads or 
markets demanding a mild tomato of its 
color.
