About Japanese F; Hybrid Egg Plant 
The character of native Egg Plants is mostly in the size of fruit. They 
are generally very small comparing European varieties but are very early 
maturer and highly disease-resistant. When they are picked in young stage, 
they taste just like ordinary Egg Plant. Who are not used to such small 
fruits are liable to leave them too long in the field resulting to spoil the 
taste altogether. We also are producing F; Hybrid between European and 
Japanese varieties in the hope of producing early maturing, disease-resistant 
large fruiting type. Our 1952 trial shows a part of our success. Such Hybrid 
is larger fruited, very productive, early maturer and highly disease-resistant. 
Trial samples are sent on request. 
Fy Hybrid No. 1 5 15.00 per Ib. 
Extra early, velvety black, oblong, small fruited. Vigorous and 
prolific. 
Fi Hybrid No. 2 5 15.00 per Ib. 
Longer than No. 1 Hybrid, equally early, vigorous and prolific. 
Egg Plants are one of the vegetables which show marked hybrid vigor 
if proper combinations are found. According to 1950 Penn. State College 
trial the following combinations were rated No. 1. 
New Hampshire x Early Long 
ff x Black Beauty

Red Skinned F; Hybrid Tomato 
Knowing U.S. market is interested mostly in 
bright red colored, we have studied many popular 
U.S. tomatoes. As a result, have selected several 
throughbred strains suitable for such hybrid use. 
One must use such selected strains to produce 
well fixed Fy Hybrid. We have real fine strains 
in Rutgers, Valiant, Earliana and Pritchard. All 
of them can be safely used to produce excellent 
F; Hybrids. The following are some of our own 
Fy Hybrids. Trial samples are sent on request. 
Red F1 Hybrid No. 21 
Medium early, height medium. Heavy 
cropper. 
Red F1 Hybrid No. 22
