GARDEN STATE (72 Days) 
A very important canning and market 
variety developed by Dr. D. R. Porter of 
the Campbell Soup Co. Originally tested as 
Hybrid 37, and now named Garden State. 
A notable variety for its heavy yield of 
large size, well colored red fruits, maintain- 
ing good size over the entire season. Semi- 
globular fruits have tough skins, resisting 
cracking and sunburn. Due to excellent 
fruit qualities, Garden State has become 
one of the favored varieties used by Camp- 
bell Soup Co., and likewise equally fine for 
market. Maturity is in season with Rut- 
gers, but ripening first clusters a few days 
ahead of the latter. Vine growth is vig- 
orous, healthy, thick stems, wide leaves and 
able to withstand adverse weather condi- 
tions.

TOMATO FORTUNE (72 Days) 
An outstanding new red developed at the Uni- 
versity of Arkansas. A cross of Rutgers X Pan 
American. Large bushy vines, inherited from its 
Rutger parent possess even greater foliage den- 
sity. Fruit yield, much higher, averaging only 
slightly smaller than Rutgers in size. Greater glob- 
ular depth of fruits, possess the Rutger character- 
istic of ripening to a deep red from the interior 
outward. Fruits are meaty without a core, mild, 
semi-acid and somewhat sweet in flavor. The juice 
is quite sticky, indicating sugar content. Maturity 
in season with Rutgers, but ripening first clusters 
a few days ahead of its parent. We find this 
variety worthy of its name, “Fortune,” showing 
fully one-third greater fruit settings and yielding 
ability than Rutgers. Very important as a com- 
bination green-wrap and canning variety. Its re- 
sistance to fusarium wilt, high fruit setting ability 
and dense foliage will adapt Fortune to most of 
the southern states. Pkt. 48 oz. 25c;

PONDEROSA (Red) (72 Days) 
Super Argentina Strain 
A large-fruited strain of Ponderosa ob- 
tained from Argentina. The preferred can- 
ning tomato in their country. Vine growth 
extensive, healthy, very dense foliage and 
exceptionally rapid growth. Fruits average 
very large, typically Ponderosa in shape; 
RUTGERS (Indiana 
A superior strain of Rutgers, re-selected 
and supervised at Purdue _ University. 
Slightly earlier and much more productive 
than the original 290 strain as it came from 
New Jersey. Fruit quality and color like- 
wise are greatly improved. Fruits are 
smooth, slightly flattened at the stem-end, 
deep red color ripening from the interior 
outward. Thick walls, small seed cavities 
SOUTHLAND (74 Days) 
A wilt and blight resistant variety de- 
veloped at the Regional Vegetable Breed- 
ing Laboratory at Charleston, S. C. South- 
land is a standard type, general purpose, 
red tomato, ripening in season with Rut- 
gers and Marglobe. About equal to Rut- 
gers in size, but slightly more oblate. Fruits 
are very smooth, extremely solid and 
meaty with a very tough peel, holding up 
for unusual lengths of time after ripening. 
Its tough skin gives very high resistance to 
very fleshy without a core, ripening to a 
dark red color. Its highly acid flavor and 
fine red color make this strain very adapt- 
able for the canning industry.

Strain) (72 Days) 
with very few seeds form very solid fruits. 
Plants are large, thick stems with dense 
foliage protecting fruits from sunburn. To 
get maximum yield from Rutgers, soil must 
not be over supplied with nitrogen. A 
heavy application of phosphate is recom- 
mended to insure early ripening and obtain 
the entire harvest.

cracking. Southland is a fine green wrap 
and shipping variety. Vines are upright, 
quite dense and slightly more open than 
Rutgers at ripening time. Southland is re- 
sistant to fusarium wilt, early blight, mod- 
erately to anthracnose and one form of 
common potato late blight. For maximum 
yield and fruit size, Southland requires fer- 
tile soil, quite high in both nitrogen and 
phosphate. Pkt. 4% oz. 25c; 4 oz. 40c;
