TOMATO—(Continued) 
HOMESTEAD TOMATO — WILT RESISTANT 
Our first production of this new variety. 
“HOMESTEAD, WILT RESISTANT 
71 Days 
A new variety developed by the U.S.D.A. at Charleston, S. C. Similar to 
Rutgers in type but earlier. Fruits slightly larger, with a semi-determinate 
vine growth. Very productive under a wide range of conditions. Extensive 
trials in Florida proved Homestead to ripen firmer than Rutgers when 
picked green. Has a comparative freedom from internal browning and puffi- 
ness. An important addition to the green wrap trade in the South, particularly 
with its near immunity to Fusarium Wilt.
