IDEAL FORCING. Is 
the result of crossing the 
Bonny Best with the 
Comet and is a heavy 
yielding variety. It has 
no unripe core, is dark 
red in color, not an acid 
fruit but of excellent 
quality. It is larger than 
the old Grand _ Rap- 
ids Forcing, now no long- 
er in production. It is a 
splendid shipper. Surely 
this Tomato has a place 
in every greenhouse and 
will be a money maker.

FORCING. 75 days. An 
excellent greenhouse variety 
and a vigorous grower with 
dark green foliage. Especial- 
ly attractive medium size 
fruits (4 to 5 ounces) are 
borne in clusters of five to 
eleven. Stem cavity is small, 
shallow and very smooth. 
Blossom end well rounded 
with a very small scar, the 
outer walls of fruit are thick- 
er, and the firmness of the 
fruit makes it possible to 
allow them to ripen on the 
vine without loss to the 
grower. Many growers have 
in late years done remark- 
ably well with this variety 
for outdoor growing and it 
is to be recommended.
